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.

3. Describe the differences between your first fanfic and your most recent fanfic.
4. Do you think your style has changed over time? How so?
5. You've posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you'd written it?
6. Name three stories you found easy to write.
7. Name three stories you found difficult to write.
8. What's your ratio of hits to kudos?
9. What do your fic bookmarks say about you?
10. What's a theme that keeps coming up in your writing?
11. What kind of relationships are you most interested in writing?
12. For E-rated fic, what are some things your characters keep doing?
13. Name three favorite characters to write.
14. You're applying for the fanfic writer of the year award. What five fanfics do you put in your portfolio?
15. Question of your choice!

Memed from thisbluespirit: List the first sentence (or two if the first sentence is short) of each of the last ten fics you posted.

1. Constable Tegan Jovanka recognised the sound of the approaching car at once. (Crime Scene, DW AU)
2. "Coming out," Lucie called, clutching the skimpy motel towel protectively around her. (Off the Bed, DW)
3. At the discreet click of the door latch, Tegan froze where she was crouching, the detonator still in her hand. (In at the Top End, DW)
4. That's odd, Li Shou Yuing thought. (Out of Place, DW)
5. "But why don't you tell the prefects?" Gwendoline Lacey asked, as the group descended H G Wells High School's principal staircase. (Exchange Students, DW>TTR>TDTO)
6. "Miss Jones!" Adam gave the vase another look, as if to confirm that what he had seen had not been the product of a momentary hallucination. (Once Bitten, AAL! / DW)
7. "Well, here it is," the Twelfth Doctor said, gesturing at the dim outline of the building ahead. (A Quiet Night In, DW>TTR)
8. Adam made another attempt to break free from his bonds, but it seemed that the gamekeepers who had secured him had been old hands; the ropes did not so much as budge. (A Chance Encounter in the Plantation, AAL! / DW)
9. Tasha Lem shook her head decisively. "Doctor, I appreciate your concern, but the security systems are foolproof." (The Heart Does Not Grieve Over, DW)
10. Between the darkness and the fog it was barely possible for Mina to be sure they were not walking in circles. (Reunion, Dracula 1968 / DW)

Memed as usual from thisbluespirit: Top ten AO3 works by various metrics. ( Here goes )

Memed from thisbluespirit:

Give me a character/pairing and I will write snippets of ten different alternate universes for it. One line, ten lines, a ficlet if you're lucky.

• Wild West
• Coffee Shop
• Shapeshifters
• Fantasy/Fairy Tale
• . . . In SPACE!!
• Apocalypse
• Schoolfic
• Police/Firefighters/Medical/any other emergency service I can think of
• Supernatural
• Regency

Retreads from the previous iteration are deprecated. So absent a really compelling pairing, let's omit Eight, Lucie, Four, Romana, Ben, Polly, Jamie, Sam, Seven, Ace, Six, Peri, Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe.
