Ao3 author types
Which one are you?
The Butterfly: Has 50 works published, 46 of which are unfinished.
The Spray-and-pray: Has 230 works published, none over 1000 words.
The "who's got time for this?": Has 30 complete super long works... but they're all those massive collections of short challenge fics with a gazillion fandoms, only three of which are fandoms you're interested in.
The Fakeout: Has three long, complete works published in your favorite fandom... but they're actually part of a continuing series and end on a steep cliffhanger. Last updated 2021.
The "Hm, should i?": Has four excellent works in your favorite fandom, and 40 works in a fandom you've never heard of that has five hundred episodes and "really gets going after episode 150, but you can't skip all the backstory."
The Dilettante: Has 70 works, in 68 fandoms.
The Sneaky Santa: Has 40 short to medium-length excellent works in various small fandoms. Is clearly the author's pseud for participating in Yuletide, and no, they won't tell anyone their main author account, so there!
The Golden Unicorn: Has many excellent, complete fics of varying lengths, all in fandoms you enjoy. They just started a new long fic in your current favorite fandom and they update twice a week!
