There was a thing I saw going around here recently where you share your top 3 stats from AO3.

I... didn't save the questions πŸ˜… but I generally remember which stats to check. So I figured I'd share my own results for fun too. (I like basic data analysis lol)

I'm gonna do this twice though because I have two fandoms I've written for the most that skew the results, so I'll exclude them for the second data set.

I've got 262 fics on AO3 currently!

1) Top 3 ratings you've written

1) G (245)
2) T (15)
3) M (2)

Yeah, this tracks πŸ˜‚ I mostly write a bunch of fluff, so there's no need to tag anything other than G most of the time. (Those two M fics are rated like that for the violence)

Top 3 categories you've written

1) Gen (116)
2) m/m (93)
3) f/f (35)

I've been working the last two years to boost that f/f stat and I'm really proud of how far I've gotten. Still have a ways to go to balance it out more tho!

Top 3 fandoms you've written

1) Hey!Say!JUMP (92)
2) My Hero Academia (79)
3) Avatar the Last Airbender (17)

Oh the gap between number 2 and 3 πŸ˜‚ I've stopped writing hsj completely and I'm kinda fizzling out on bnha at the moment, so I'm focused these days on boosting the numbers for other fandoms. Will I ever hit 100 fics for any fandom? Who knows! (Actually, it'll probably be bnha that hits 100 first but I'll be slow getting there lol)

Top 3 characters you've written

1) Takaki Yuya (71)
2) Chinen Yuri (67)
3) Nakajima Yuto (59)

These are all people from hsj πŸ˜‚ Of course, Takaki, my favorite, is number one!

On a sidenote, the top 10 characters are all hsj except for Bakugou from bnha. So every time I look at this stat, I think Bakugou should be the 10th member of hsj 😁 put him on stage in a feather boa, you cowards!!

Top 3 relationships you've written

1) Bakugou Katsuki/Todoroki Shouto (25)
2) Bakugou Katsuki/Uraraka Ochako (13)
3) Ashido Mina/Uraraka Ochako (9)

These are all bnha ships πŸ˜‚ Considering that kacchako was the ship that got me writing bnha fics, I feel like I should have written more than 13 fics?? Perceptions are weird. (Kacchako week is coming up... I should write something maybe πŸ€”)

Top 3 additional tags

1) Fluff (80)
2) Humor (63)
3) Established Relationship (47)

I'm not entirely sure how accurate the numbers are on this one is actually because I sometimes use the "Fluff and Humor" combined tag too. But otherwise, yeah, these are my fics in a nutshell!

And now to answer these all again but excluding the top 2 fandoms (hsj and bnha). With those filtered out, there are only 91 fics here.

1) Top 3 ratings you've written

1) G (84)
2) T (7)

Not surprising results here because, as I noted earlier, I'm mostly writing fluff anyway

Top 3 categories you've written

1) Gen (45)
2) f/f (22)
3) m/m (16)

Pleasantly surprised to see f/f higher on these results! (But to be fair, hsj is all dudes, so it's not like I had much opportunity to write women for that fandom)

Top 3 fandoms you've written

1) Avatar the Last Airbender (17)
2) Star Trek Voyager (9)
3) Yu Yu Hakusho (9)

I'm so close to hitting double digits for Voyager and YYH! But I'm hopping around to a lot of different fandoms lately, so I wonder how different this stat would be like six months from now...

Top 3 characters you've written

1) Zuko (10)
2) Sokka (8)
3) B'Elanna Torres (7)
(Honda Tohru and Kurama are also at (7) appearances too, but B'Elanna's name is first)

These are fun characters to write. Also it's kinda funny that Zuko and B'Elanna are both the kinda grouchy type. If you add Bakugou to the mix, you might say there's a certain type of character I tend to gravitate towards πŸ˜…

Top 3 relationships you've written

1) Honda Tohru/Sohma Kyou (6)
2) Sokka/Zuko (6)
3) Hiei/Kurama (3)
(Other ships with (3) fics were Bakura Ryou/Malik Ishtar, Kudelia Aina Bernstein/Atra Mixta, and Ongsa/Sun)

I think the low amounts here show that my ships are spread around pretty well.

Top 3 additional tags

1) Post-canon (34)
2) Fluff (28)
3) Humor (17)

Funny how these results shuffled from the first data set. Post-canon was the fourth tag in the first set, but the top one here. And Established Relationship is number 4 in this data set, but was number 3 in the other one.

I think my writing tastes are pretty set in stone, according to these results πŸ˜‚

Did any of these results surprise you?

Not really... but that's because I frequently look at these stats and think about what WIPs I have that'll change them πŸ˜‚ Still, it was nice to see it all laid out here. It'll be a nice thing to use as a comparison in the future!

Anyway, what do y'all think??

Ahhhhh I don’t have time to put a full comment but very quickly - this is the first time I think I’ve seen someone also try removing a few big fandoms from the list and it makes so much sense!! A fandom that’s over-represented in the list can really skew stats and hide other interesting details. I’ll be back with a proper comment but this was so interesting I had to at least say that right away!
