4) How many fandoms?

Surprisingly, four - who knew? If you'd have asked me, I'd have said two - then possibly I'd have remembered my recent random foray into Lewis - but I think I would have completely forgotten I'd put any Star Trek on AO3. Even presented with the evidence, it took a while to remember I'd posted a couple of drabbles. This is the full breakdown:

The Professionals (TV 1977) 29 posts;
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (TV) 15 posts;
Lewis (TV) 2 posts; and
Star Trek: The Original Series one post.

Never heard of Lewis. Is that a new program?

10) How many megafandoms (over 50,000 stories posted for the fandom at AO3)?

As others have commentated, not describing Star Trek as a megafandom is a bit like describing a Tyrannosaurus rex as a lizard. But then, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics - and according to the AO3 statistics, I must answer - however bemusedly - 'none'.

Lol, my sentiments, exactly.

I don't normally cross post, but I do eventually get around to archiving my Lj stuff on AO3. I'm not averse to archiving on FF.Net, but FF.Net doesn't allow explicit material or illustrated fic, and most of my Lj stuff is either illustrated or too explicit (don't get excited, I have no illustrated explicit fic on Lj, or anywhere else for that matter, sadly, it's an either or job - if 'job' is the word I'm looking for in this context...).

I try to crosspost my stories to any archive that strictly for that fandom, like the K/S Archive. I used to post my stories to the Chrome and Gunmetal Madhouse, but I don't think it's being supported anymore. The last time I tried it wouldn't take the picture that was part of the story. I contacted the site's moderator, but never got a response.

Lewis was a very well received spin off from Inspector Morse, which aired from 2006 to 2015. Inspector Morse had a younger sergeant called Lewis who matures into the Inspector Lewis of 'Lewis'. There's also an equally well received prequel series about the young Inspector Morse called Endeavour.

I think there was something saying Chrome & Gunmetal was no longer active, but don't quote me on that...
