Total score: 25/26, from 354 works on AO3.

I was pretty sure I wouldn't have any trouble with Z, and in the end I didn't even need to venture out of AO3 to exhume Zoë Heriot and the Elf-Knight to get there. If I ever do take up my keyboard again I'll have to consider what can be done with X, though.

X-cellent work! An 'X' title is something to aim for.

I think we'll just have to have a writing fest where we all use the title "X Marks the Spot" or something! XD

And, heh, yes, not surprised you managed to get Z, unlike me!
