Our boiler went off yesterday, so no heating and no hot water for us. Of course, this couldn't happen a few weeks ago when we had the unseasonably warm weather, but now when it's snowing, raining and really cold. Stupid boiler. Someone is coming out tomorrow, so hopefully, it'll be fixed then. Until then we've been to B&M and now have oil-filled heaters dotted around the room and once I've posted this I'm going to go have an epic kettle boiling and then bath filling session. I suspect I'll end up with all of a few inches of water, but I already feel grimy not having a bath last night, two nights will push me over the edge.

Anyway, I've seen this meme around in a few places, so thought I'd give it a go, even though I'm terrible at tagging.


Rules: Go to your AO3 works page, expand all the filters, and answer the following questions!

FANFIC - 157 fics

What’re your first and second most common work ratings?

Not rated -- 83
General audiences --38



What’s your most common archive warning?

Choose not to warn -- 90
No warnings apply -- 65

Least common?

rape/non con -- 2
underage --1

Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?

At times, there's little I won't try writing. Doesn't mean I always succeed.

How many fics have you written in each pairing category?

M/M 102
Gen 43
F/M 4
Multi 7
Other 2

Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?

Just what happens really, I like slash pairings, but I also enjoy gen fic, het, threesomes and moresomes are great too.

What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?

My Chemical Romance -- 89
Bandom -- 83
Nsync -- 47
Popslash -- 45 Though, as bandom/MCR and Nsync/popslash share fandom tags, not that different, really.

Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?

I'm still active in bandom and until recently hadn't moved to a new fandom for years. So having multiple new ones I'm writing in is still all kinds of amazing.

What are your top 4 relationship tags?

Frank/Mikey -- 18
JC/ Chris -- 14
Gerard/Mikey -- 13
Mikey/Pete -- 12

Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?

Well, it suggests I like Mikey, so no being puzzled there, and trickc is made of win, so there's that.

What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2?

Sibling incest -- 7
Crossover -- 6



Bottom two are:
Prostitution -- 2
Threesome -- 2

Seriously, when I said I don't tag much I wasn't kidding. Moving into these new fandoms where tagging is rampant is a whole new world to me.


What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into a fic?

Well, you'd be left with something I've already written multiple times. So nothing new there. Sibling incest including crossovers, threesomes and prostitution is right up my street.

How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?

None. I don't write WIPs. I couldn't cope with the pressure of people waiting for a new part, and would probably throw in the towel and abandon the story rather than finish it.

Oh no, boilers are the worst. Ours went once in the height of winter r which wasn’t fun

It’s funny I just saw wenchpixie had done this too, I might do it soon

Sibling incest with prostitution and a threesome sounds awesome!

[turps]

I'm sure they like to go off at the worst possible times. I mean, two weeks ago it would have been better. Though I still would have been cursing the lack of hot water.

I know you did the meme and I'm glad. They're always interesting to look at.

Ha! Doesn't it just.

[shadowhive]

Oh yeah totally, I hope they sort it soon

Yeah! It’s strange to see The Umbrella Academy creep up in it so fast 🖤

Totally!

[wenchpixie]

Ahrg - I hope the boiler person arrives at the start of their slot and fixes you super quickly <3 Not the time for a boiler off at all. <3

[turps]

Sadly the boiler person isn't due to arrive until after tea. I'm just glad it's not as cold today.

[frausorge]

Ack, I hope the boiler will be fixed swiftly!

You? like Mikey?? I am shocked. SHOCKED.

[turps]

I hope so too. The lack of heating is a pain, but the lack of hot water especially so.

I know! I try to keep it under wraps, too.

[sylvaine]

Oh nooo, I hope the boiler gets fixed soon! *hugs*

[turps]

The repairman is coming sometime after tea. I really hope it'll be an easy fix.

[rikes]

Ack, that's terrible timing! Hope it got fixed.

[turps]

It was the worst timing. But yes, is fixed now :D

[turlough]

Brrr, I feel cold just thinking of not having either heating or hot water! I hope the boiler is working properly again by now. *sends lots of hot thoughts*

[turps]

It is working now!

The house is lovely and warm, and I was running a bath within minutes of the repairman leaving.
