I haven't posted in ages -- eep!
Not dead, semi-employed, been actively enjoying the last bits of cooler weather before the onslaught of consistent triple digits.

2) Your best story title and why
One title? You want me to pick just one?
Mail F(l)ight still amuses and pleases me.
Delayed Reaction A multitude of meanings in two words.
3) Your worst story title and why
I generally think about my titles a fair amount, poking at them until I like what I have, even if I don't love it, so there are very few I really dislike, even now.
To the Captain Meh. Not actually horrible, as a title, and I still can't think of a better. This is also the oldest thing of mine in the archive. That may be affecting my feeling about the title.
4) The most popular pairing you've written for (by the standard of how many stories exist for that pairing written by everyone on AO3)
Guessing: Duncan/Methos or Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan.
Actual:
Kris Allen/Adam Lambert - 1633 (2)
Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi - 790 (21)
Duncan MacLeod/Methos - 731 (10)
Sauli Koskinen/Adam Lambert - 678 (1)
Kili/Tauriel - 356 (1)
Montague John Druitt (Sanctuary)/Helen Magnus - 148 (1)
Adam Lambert/Original Male Character - 144 (1)
Aral Vorkosigan/Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan - 115 (1)
and after that is pairings where there are less than 100 stories
5) The rarest pairing you've written for (by the standard of how many stories exist for that pairing written by everyone on AO3)
I have written 28 pairings (out of 70 / or &) of which mine is the only fic in the archive. 25 of those are one-shots.
Lord John Grey/Methos (3)
Adam Lambert & Methos (2)
Denis Balthasar/Julian Chase Mago (2)
Nicolas the Chronicler/Prince Tristan (2)
I have written 3 pairings where mine is one of 2 stories, 2 pairings where mine is one of 3, one where mine are two of 3.
And that isn't counting the non-relationship fics where mine is/are the only ones in the fandom.
6) The most popular OT3/moresome you've written for (by the standard of how many stories exist for that pairing written by everyone on AO3)
Fili & Kili & Thorin Oakenshield - 158 (1)
Amanda Darieux/Duncan MacLeod/Methos - 14 (1)
Sanctuary's The Five - 10 (2)
Aidan Logan/Duncan MacLeod/Methos - 10 (1) (technically, there should be 12 stories)
Helen Magnus/Nikola Tesla/James Watson - 5 (1)
7) The rarest OT3/moresome you've written for (by the standard of how many stories exist for that pairing written by everyone on AO3)
Heloise Collins/Dr. Terwilliker/August Zabladowski - 0 (1) Yup, the archive does not believe this story exists under this tag, even though the tag exists. I will be sending in a support/tag request about it.
Andrew Carr/Callista Lanart/Ellemir Lanart/Damon Ridenow - 1 (1) (this really ought to have & between Callista and Ellemir, but I didn't want to confuse things.)
Bofur/Dwalin/Thorin Oakenshield - 2 (2)
Kjaran/Mar/Viradechtis - 2 (2)
Isolfr/Skjaldwulf/Vethulf - 4 (3)
8) First story and latest story you posted to AO3
The story I first posted to AO3 (has the lowest ID: 250) is: The Seven Virtues
The oldest piece is To the Captain written Nov 1977
The most recent piece posted is for Remix 11, to be revealed anonymously tomorrow, authors revealed a week from now.
The most recent visible piece is Song of Steel, written in part so I could ask/offer Silmarillion in Remix.
9) Your top ten pairings on AO3
Qui-Gon Jin/Obi-Wan Kenobi - 21
Duncan MacLeod/Methos - 12
Declan MacRae/James Watson - 6
Methos/OMC - 4
Montague John Druitt/James Watson - 3
Joe Dawson & Methos - 3
Isolfr/Skjaldwulf/Vethulf - 3
Lord John Grey/Methos - 3
-In 9th place are 10 relationships at 2 each, though the Bofur/Dwalin/Thorin one currently has several pieces in progress)
-In 10th place are 60 relationships at one each.
10) How many stories have you written with no pairings/OT3/moresomes listed? What's the breakdown on your stories' ratings?
Stories with no relationship tags: 234, but I need to go back and add in a bunch of & tags, because I posted many pieces before & was a thing. Some of those may also have unmarked background relationships as well.
