>> Interestingly, although there are 790 works in the Steve/Maria tag on AO3, 170 of them were either written by me (146 of them), or directly influenced by me - that is, it was written for me as a gift, or someone referenced me in the notes section of the story.
That turns out to be ~21% which I think is pretty good in a collection of just under 800 stories.<<
That is a truly impressive accomplishment!
It's the kind of thing I tell people about in crowdfunding: one patron or prompter with a serious yen for a given motif can make a very dramatic difference if it happens to be something that isn't written or is rare. I have several series that basically exist because one or two people wanted them.
>> My big work for SGA was probably To Serve A Queen - the Black Jewels AU fusion that I wrote, where Elizabeth Weir is the Queen of Atlantis Territory and the expedition members are her court. That fic made my name in SGA fandom, and kicked off the Ronon/Elizabeth pairing - in as much as it got off the ground...<<
I think you did a brilliant job of capturing the Black Jewels flavor.
