This took me a while to actually post after I saw it on someone else's journal. Also, I have a LOT of fics out there, and I haven't tagged them reliably, so some of the filters don't quite work the way they should/might.

AO3 Filters Meme

1. How many stories have you posted?
890 works. (at the time of posting this meme, it's increased to 892 works)

2. In what categories?
M/F: 472
Gen: 450
M/M: 17
Multi: 13
F/F: 12

3. What ratings?
General Audiences (390)
Teen And Up Audiences (297)

4. How many fandoms?
90 fandoms

5. How many fandoms where you've written more than 10 stories?
13 fandoms

6. Any fandoms where you were the first to post a story for it?
Four, actually.
Fire Dancer series by Ann Maxwell
Tokyo Crazy Paradise
It's All Coming Back To Me Now - Celine Dion (Song)
Fox Force Five (TV) - although that was only by a day, because it was the 'Fictional Fandom Exchange' and I both wrote and recieved Fox Force Five fanfic.

7. Any fandoms where your story is still the only one posted for it?
No. Although someone posted a Fire Dancer story only in the last two months.

8. How many fandoms that are still Yuletide sized?
I don't know. I have 90 fandoms and I'm not going to cross-check them all. But I would guess that easily 2/3rds of the fandoms are still eligible for YT. While the bulk of my writing is for megafandoms, the bulk of my fandoms are YT-sized.

9. How many fandoms where there are still fewer than 5,000 stories posted for it at AO3?
Again, no idea, but probably the same as the number that are YT sized.

10. How many megafandoms (over 50,000 stories at AO3)?
I'd say at least a dozen megafandoms, even if I don't write often in them all. Some of them are a little blurry in terms of lines: MCU, Avengers, Captain America Movies, etc. Sometimes there have been crossovers - the Stargates lend themselves to occasional crossovers. And, of course, there are the fusions, which leads us to the next question.

11. How many AUs have you written where the settings, occupations etc are completely changed?
If I search by the tag 'Fusion', then I get 51 entries. That may not be the completeness of it, though - I don't always tag reliably.

Black Jewels AUs are definitely the winner in the numbers stakes, with the JaegerPilots/Pacific Rim AUs coming in next (mostly thanks to the Fire and Ice MCU Jaeger series) and probably Urban Fantasy (incl. changelings/werewolves, vampires, and other fantasy creatures) after that. There are assorted Mundane AUs, where nobody has power/is on secret military projects, and the characters are doing something else, too. I love writing Fusion AUs.

12. How many canon-divergent and/or canon distorting tropes (like soul marks, bodyswap) + canon AUs have you written?
This is hard to count, again, I don't tag things reliably.

Quite a few. I've been into soulmarks and soulmates for the last five years, and always canon divergences and AUs from a set point. There are always bigger stories that want to be told.

13. How many stories have you written that would require an AO3 content warning or a CNTW?
106 + 20 + 14 +13 = 153

14. How many words in the shortest story you've posted?
Not counting giftsets or graphics? 99 words: What's Gone Before

15. How many words in the longest story you've posted?
84,282: The Other Side of Infinity

16. How many crossover stories have you written?
AO3 says 50 crossovers.

17. How many fusion stories have you written?
AO3 says 51 Fusions.

18. How many RPF stories have you written?
None.

19. How many WIPs and/or series have you posted?
It says 'none', but that's a lie. A great many of the recent postings are chaptered WIPs, or "Unfinished And Abandoned" which I've decided not to try to complete but would like people to enjoy for what's there.

20. Do you have any fanfic that is completed but not posted to AO3?  
All my pre-2000 X-Men stuff, and a lot of my early SG1 work (2001-2005 era). The pre-2000 X-Men fics are no longer on the internet, and the SG1/SGA work are likely on LJ and ff.net.
