AO3 filter meme

I found this buried in my likes and I’ma do it so I can continue to avoid some Tasks that I Do Not Want To Do, which is the number one activity all of us can engage in. Hurrah, procrastination. So let’s see!

Rules: Go to your works page, expand all the filters, and answer the following questions!

1. What’s your first and second most common work ratings? Explicit (62), Mature (43). ...Yeah. Look, you get trained into writing the booty-smoochin’ (NB: I tried to type smooshin’ there three times and my fingers rebelled, so that’s what we’re sticking with) and then it turns out that most of the ideas you come up with have booty smoochin’. Funny how that works.

2. What’s your most common archive warning? Least common? Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer? Most common: No Archive Warnings Apply (85) Least common: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (25)

I do think I’m an adventurous writer, but I also think it’s entertaining/misleading that these two questions are paired together. If everything you write is rape&violence&gore, is that actually adventurous? Nah, fam. It’s just monotonous in the other direction. I’m happy to write various genres, but I’m more happy that ‘choose not to warn’ is an acceptable category to pick. Means you don’t have to spoil things, and also you can equivocate when you might have something sketchy that doesn’t quite fall into neat slots.

3. How many fics have you written in each relationship category? Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences? M/M (97) Gen (24) F/M (13) Multi (5) Other (2)

I mean, my preference is Sam/Dean, and they’re pretty solidly M/M, so. Yeah. It’s also a trufact that most decent characters that are fun to play with are male, which is its own kettle of fish that I’m not interested in shoving my arm into, but it is what it is. I’m glad there’s a solid lump of gen in there, though. Some restraint!

4. What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers? Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot? Oh, this is gonna be lopsided af, are you ready:

Supernatural (plus SPN RPF) (105 + 3) Heroes (6) Psych (3) Marvel (2)

...Yeah. Two very tall dudes hooked their inspirational claws into me, what can I say. This isn’t to say that I don’t get ideas for other stories in other fandoms, but there’s just so much to write for SPN that other stuff falls by the wayside. I am hella not active in those other three fandoms, though. Sayonara, fandoms.

5. What are your top 4 relationship tags? Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled? Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester (77) Dean Winchester & Sam Winchester (6) Dean Winchester/John Winchester (5) Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki (3)

lol, it matches a lot, yes. Though I’m still annoyed that it’s sorted as Dean/Sam. Sam/Dean just sounds better.

6. What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2? What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into a fic? Top 2: Established Relationship (46), Pre-Canon (12) Bottom 2: Fluff (6), Dom/sub Undertones (6)

I cheated and avoided the season/series tags, cos that’d be nonsensical. Also, hot damn, that’d be a really really good fic, can you believe. I’m imagining Sam/Dean when Sam’s maybe 17 and just coming into his true toppy nature and it’s fun but also Dean didn’t realize how much he’d like to be on his knees, ahemhem, oh yes. (I think I have a request for this, actually.)

7. How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing? Hm, let’s see--two official, one that kinda is a WIP in that it’s a series which could really use one more fic to complete a thought but it isn’t strictly required. These are, in order: - Nightblooming Flowers (J2 AU), currently at 69k over two chapters. I keep putting off starting the third chapter because there’s gonna be like plot and intrigue and shit and that’s honestly the thing I find least interesting, wah. But I’ll get there. - In a Cursed Hour (SPN Gen... for now), currently at 94k over 5 chapters, also known as the Big Fuckin MoL AU that I was very dumb to start, probably, but it’s always lurking in the back of my mind. This one functions as mostly complete stories for each chapter, so I hope it’s not too terrible for those few who actually read it. My good buddy thebratfarrar is my idea pinging buddy on this but I do the writing, so I fit in chapters around all of the million other things on my to-do list. It’s hard, but sort of rewarding. - Physical Graffiti (wincest), currently also at 94k (weird) over 3 stories, with the one extra that I really ought to get to. I will, at some point. Someday.

I tag: @wetsammywinchester, @alulaspeaks, @efflorescentjared, @whiskeycherrypie, @blindswandive, @homo-pink, @silver9mm, @omgbubblesomg, @nyxocity, and... shit, whoever else wants to do it. What’s up with your data, folks? What it is?
