Random AO3 Meme....

Prosy folk like me might recall the recent pros_newsletter #656 - April 05 to 12, which picked up gilda_elise's AO3 Meme, in turn snagged from tinnny

I was a bit surprised by this, but apparently, even allowing for the 'chose not to' option, I haven't slaughtered as many characters as I thought...

Hee hee.

Also, nice to see you around again.

Nice to be about, although I really must get my skates on re the Pros BB if I'm not to fall at the first hurdle :0)

*waves pompoms*

Are their cheerleaders in hockey? Or roller derby?

[fiorenza_a]

I've no idea, but I'm happy to take my pompoms where I can find them !😊

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

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I think there was something saying Chrome & Gunmetal was no longer active, but don't quote me on that...

Interesting reading all of your done fics, in progress fics and all things inbetween.

Thankyou for the insight

[fiorenza_a]

One of my 'in progress' fics is the Pros BB, so I need to make sure that one turns into a 'done fic' !

Thanks for dropping by 😊

[ali15son]

I hope that you do complete the fic for the BB, something i have never taken part in.

Interesting! I'm going to steal part of this and put it with another meme I found on DW to create a blog post, so thank you! I enjoyed your answers. I enjoyed, too, your venture into RPF. I read RPF, mostly in Bandom where I know they don't mind! But writing it has been a purely political thing on my part and I reckon politicians are fair game.

[fiorenza_a]

I think that was my only foray into RPF :0)

But is interesting the answers this one has thrown up, I've read gilda_elise's and tinturtle's now.

And a great shout out to the pros_newsletter, without which I would have missed it altogether !

There is a sense in which politicians (and celebrities in general) are already fictional people, as the public sees them.

[fiorenza_a]

Well certainly their public personas are often a type of fictional character...
