AO3 Meme

[eanor]

I've seen this meme going around during the last few days (most recently over at methylviolet10b's journal), so why not have a little fun and participate as well? Basically, it's finding out your Top Five stories on AO3 by various categories and then see if patterns emerge... :-D

So what do I take away from this?

I'm not surprised all of the stories featured in any Top Five (apart from Magnificent Men) are from Sherlock, even though I write in many other fandoms, since Sherlock is by far the largest fandom I participate in. Other than that, people seem to like my crossovers. Or maybe they simply have a bigger audience, namely their two fandoms? And apart from Mind Heist which suddenly sneaks in and takes over the comments, all of the Top Five seem to be pretty stable. So no huge surprises. :-P
Basically, all my stories in any of the Top Five are either crossovers or AUs or focus on either Sherlock or Molly. So apparently these are the things I write best. Or what do you think?

(Also, I just noticed that I haven't exported all of my stories to AO3 yet. So maybe that'd change the statistics...)
