Stolen from

petra :)

As of today, with 670 works:

1. What rating do you write most fics under?

General Audiences - 355 (I actually would not have guessed this!)

2. What are your top 3 fandoms?

DCU (Comics) (36)
Batman (All media types) (32)
Star Trek: Enterprise (26)/Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (26)

This is a little deceptive, because I don't tag with the generic Kamen Rider or Super Sentai fandom tags. If I did...whew. As an example, my #7 fandom is Boonboomger at 22, so if I'd tagged that and Gokaiger with Super Sentai, plus all the other sentai, it would easily beat DCU and maybe beat DCU and Batman combined.

3. What is your top character you write about?

To no shock whatsoever, #1 is Bruce Wayne with 33, followed by Tim Drake with 24. I wrote a *lot* of Batman/DCU fic back in the day, folks!

4. What are the 3 top pairings?

Hahahahaha, this is more representative of my recent fic habits!

Godai Yusuke/Ichijou Kaoru (12)
Tharn Thara Kirigun/Type Thiwat Phawattakun (10) tied with Kurogane Spanner/Minato (10)
Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan (8)

I have a Tharn/Type fic in the works. Oh, and for those in the know, the Boonboomger OT6 is in 6th place with 7 fics, so I strongly suspect that will move up the list, but Spanner/Minato will likely stay strong.

5. What are the top 3 additional tags?

Humor (151) Not a shock at all
Drama (85) This one...I wonder if I used it on older fics, because I can't recall using it in years!
Friendship (65) No shock whatsoever

If we remove Drama, which is a weird choice, the #4 is Crossover with 44. I used to write a buttload of those :D

Current Mood: amused

1. What rating do you write most fics under?

DCU (292)
Star Wars (187)
Cabin Pressure (64) (almost all limericks from Sept 2025)
Honorable Mention: Slings & Arrows (63), which is at least not all five-line poetry

3. What is your top character you write about?
Obi-Wan Kenobi (137)
Bruce Wayne comes in second at 131 but I never did a Kinktober in DCU fandom, and I've done two in Star Wars mostly-Prequels fandom.

4. What are the 3 top pairings?
Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker (85)
Dick Grayson/Bruce Wayne (43)
Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker (22)
Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker (21)
Gene Hunt/Sam Tyler (20) (included for variety)

5. What are the top 3 additional tags?
Drabble (474)
Limericks (202)
Poetry (85)
You don't get a non-format one till Identity Porn (22), Psychic Wolves (19), and Oral Sex (18).

In persistent music news, Golden from KPop Demon Hunters is chasing me around the city to a degree that I haven't experienced with a song since I spent a lot of time in doctor's office waiting rooms during the peak of Let It Go-a-rama. I heard it in two different places today. I'm not sure which is going to prove to be more persistent outside my head; I still don't know what all the words to Golden mean, and it's not because I don't know how to find out.

This post indexes my Kinktober limericks, all on the theme of Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker feat. Padmé et al.

It is my ambition for November not to post an average of two poems a day, and thereby hopefully retain the few stragglers who are still subscribed to me on AO3 after the last two months of constant limericks. 对不起不对不起 (Sorry, not sorry.)

If, on the other hand, I have to write drabbles and limericks for people who request them as food bank donation thank-yous, I will spam the crap out of the AO3 and all my subscribers can just deal.

Yesterday, for example, I posted 4 drabbles for people who informed me that they had donated at least 25 USD worth of food or money to food pantries and/or banks in their area. If you like my writing and you can spare a quarter-Benjamin, support the food-insecure people near you and request something from me.

Nintendo announced yesterday that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is getting an update in January!

... okay, yes, there was also some news about the new Nintendo Switch 2 edition being released, but I didn't pay much attention to that one. I'm lucky to have a still-working Switch Lite considering just how old it is at this point, and I think it's safe to say that a new system isn't in my budget in the foreseeable future. So I'm much more interested in the update for everyone who already has the game.

ACNH has been my comfort game for over five years now. I'd never played any of the Animal Crossing games before, but one of the players in my Friday D&D group convinced the rest of us to all buy the game after D&D the day it was released back in 2020. The world had just gone into lockdown, and it was a lifesaver then and has continued to be over the years.

It's amazing just how much my mood has been lifted hearing that there's something new coming for it. I honestly didn't think they would be doing another update. 💕

Current Mood: excited

I wrote the drabbles linked in this post for people who donated at least 25 USD in cash or in-kind to food banks. Hopefully the US federal government will not be allowed to stiff food stamp recipients, but if they try, many people will need support. My Wayfinder has good resource coverage near me, and may have useful information near you, too.

I've made this post a few times without any luck, but I wanted to try again just in case. Would anyone be interested in any of the following Nintendo Switch games?

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (example on Amazon)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (example on Amazon)
TemTem (example on Amazon)

If you're not interested but know someone who might be, please point them my way. I'm trying to cover the hotel bill due today, and it would help a lot if I could at least sell the Pokémon one since it's worth the most.

For payment, I have CashApp ($Settiai), PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle (nancy.lynn.foster@gmail.com).

Do you ever miss Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom circa 2014?

So do I.

Let Dira's latest (just posted) take you back, by way of a much more recent development:

Smile, and Smile, and Be a Lying Punk (980 words) by Dira Sudis

"They'd heard I liked baseball and, I don't know, somehow forgot that Brooklyn has never rooted for the Yankees and will never root for the Yankees, no matter if the Dodgers leave us to play on the Moon. But I didn't want to make a scene."

Now that I've finally made it through last week's episode without a panic attack in the middle, I managed to get caught up on sharing all of the art from the past six days on my side accounts on Bluesky and X. I've gotta admit, it took a lot longer than expected. It's easy not to realize just how much art this fandom produces when you're sharing it constantly throughout the day vs. playing catch-up.

Still, things are slowly getting back to normal. Or, at least, as normal as things can get for me.

The whole mess with last week's episode really threw things off for me more than I realized. I hadn't realized just how bad my brain had gotten until it started shifting back from the brink. It explains why it's felt like I haven't been able to get anything done the last few days, though.

That said, I think it's probably a good thing that there isn't a new episode of Critical Role tomorrow. Well, not a main campaign one. They're doing a one shot, which I don't tend to watch. I think it will help to have a full week off from them after finally watching the episode last night.

But for now? Work ends in about fifteen minutes, and I desperately need a nap before D&D.

Current Mood: tired

settiai

Okay, I have some specific timestamps to avoid, so I'm going to give last week's episode of Critical Role another chance now that I'm spoiled for some things. I'm still not particularly thrilled with the way they handled a certain storyline, especially since they knowingly don't provide content warnings of any type, but we'll see how it goes on attempt #2.

As with previous posts, it's a combination of quotes, random thoughts, and some speculation. And it's obviously full of spoilers (albeit vague ones in places).

( Spoilers under the cut. )

Complicated feelings? Check. But I at least made it through the episode.

Current Mood: annoyed

Oh, hey! My Neopets account has officially turned 25 and 1/2 years old! My profile shield updated yesterday without me noticing!

The last of the IPHs has been picked up, so

yuletide_admin opened up requests for everyone to see earlier today.

I pulled them up in the app and have bookmarked anything and everything that I feel as if I could even potentially try to write a treat for. It's... a lot. Which isn't unexpected considering the ridiculous number of offers I made sight unseen, but still.

Seriously, it's 240. And these are just the ones that I really felt that I could write without trouble. There were definitely more if I'd added the ones that I felt a bit iffy on.

I'm going to do my best to get my assignment(s) posted early so that I can A. pick up some later pinch hits (as the odds are high at least something that I could write will show up) and B. try to pull off some treats. We'll see how that plan plays out. I wrote 10 fics for Yuletide in 2023, and I'd love to try to beat that number.

Current Mood: thoughtful
