AO3 tag game

[smallhobbit]

I got this from meridian_rose who got it from kitarella_imagines 

1. What rating do you write most fics under?
General Audiences 970 of 1,361 works

2. What are your top 3 fandoms?
Sherlock Holmes (ACD): 355; Sherlock (BBC) 265; Spooks (MI5) 245

3. What is your top (3) character(s) you write about?
John Watson (ACD) (294); Sherlock Holmes (ACD) (280); Lucas North (242)

4. What are the 3 top pairings?
Adam Carter/Lucas North (131); Sherlock Holmes/John Watson (ACD) (79); Sherlock Holmes/Stanley Hopkins (BBC) (42)

5. What are the top 3 additional tags?
Alternative Universe (34); Alternative Universe - Werewolf (33); Christmas (31)

6. Did any of this surprise you? e.g. what turned out to be your top tag.
Not particularly.  Given that I write a lot of case fic and crack, both of which tend to be G rating I'm not surprised two-thirds of what I write is at that level. Regarding pairings, a lot of my ACD Holmes stories Holmes and Watson may be in a relationship, but it's irrelevant to the particular content.  The only surprise is the additional tags, but since I don't often use them except to specify AUs or for werewolf!Lucas it's not really surprising.

Oh, I might steal this meme. 😉

[smallhobbit]

Do, it's fun to do!

[meridian_rose]

I was surprised by the G rating but as you say, ACD Holmes lends itself to that rating. I think I tend to tag Teen and Up 'just in case' where sometimes G might suffice.
I didn't even know AU - Werewolf was a tag until today but it makes sense given the AU - vampires, etc :D

[smallhobbit]

Yes, I also write Miss Marple, who again merits a G - there may be a murder, but nothing graphic in my writing. I have a favourite werewolf who has his own series!

[delphi]

There's something about that combination of additional tags that makes me really happy. Werewolves and Christmas!

[smallhobbit]

There's almost certainly a couple which combine the two too 🐺🎄

[aome]

That's a truly impressive fic count - congratulations!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much - I do write short fics/ficlets which bumps the number up.

[kitarella_imagines]

Aha!

I finally traced back to someone who mentioned me!

I was wondering if people had got this game from me, or if I had somehow telepathically picked up on an existing game. But seems like it was from my brain all along 💖

[smallhobbit]

Yes, these games do take on a life of their own!

[kitarella_imagines]

I'm glad I noticed people were interested, I thought no one was and it had gone down like a lead balloon. I thought, 'oh well, I won't post any more games because no one seems to like them.'

But maybe now I know people like my games, I will post some more!

Lucas is wagging his tail at AU - Werewolves.

[smallhobbit]

Quite, he feels very important 🐺
