Ha. Yeah, due South all the time except for all those rarelit and music one-offs. Aside from dS and Wilby Wonderful, none of my other fic is frpm TV or movie fandoms (aside from that one crossover with Jurassic Park).

Ratings:
General Audiences (61)
Teen And Up Audiences (53)
Mature (27)
Explicit (25)

Hmm, yeah, seems reasonable. A fair amount of porn, but most of what I write has lower ratings.

Warnings:
No Archive Warnings Apply (156)
Major Character Death (7)
Underage (2)
Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings (1)

Some deathfic, a little bit of underage (Fraser/Smithbauer), but most of it is without standard warnings. And the one ambiguous one is where I didn't want to spoil a plot point.

Categories:
Gen (71)
M/M (70)
F/M (36)
F/F (17)
Multi (5)

Gen and M/M is about tied. And I seem to write half as much F/M as I do M/M, and half again as much F/F. Still, it's pretty much a mix. I use "multi" to mean that there are multiple people in a relationship (I guess you could also use it to mean that there are multiple relationships in the story?).

Characters:
Benton Fraser (104)
Ray Kowalski (51)
Bob Fraser (due South) (27)
Original Characters (20)
Caroline Fraser (16)
Victoria Metcalf (12)
Buck Frobisher (12)
Francesca Vecchio (12)
Maggie MacKenzie (10)
Martha Fraser (8)

Fraser's in the top, duh. I am pleased that Bob is in third place! Also, due to a known bug these lists are not fully accurate--I mean, I know I'm not a big Vecchio writer, but surely I write about him more than I do Martha Fraser? And yes, turns out I have 13 works tagged with him.

Pairings:
Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski (51)
Benton Fraser/Victoria Metcalf (9)
Bob Fraser/Caroline Fraser (8)
Benton Fraser/Mark Smithbauer (7)
Benton Fraser/Margaret Thatcher (5)
Bob Fraser/Caroline Fraser/Buck Frobisher (4)
Benton Fraser/Eric Kitikmeot (4)
Maggie MacKenzie/Francesca Vecchio (4)
Bob Fraser & Buck Frobisher (3)
Diefenbaker & Benton Fraser (3)

Again, not accurate--Bob/Buck has four works, for example (arrrgh, this bug is annoying). And ha, I have written twenty-three due South pairings in total (not counting gen relationships like the last two on the list). That is kind of a lot.

Additional tags:
Community: ds_snippets (37)
Podfic Available (34)
Backstory (33)
Community: dsc6dsnippets (24)
Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot (17)

Established Relationship (9)
Community: ds_flashfiction (8)
Post-Canon (8)

I don't trust this list at all. I mean, Alternate Universe should be in there with 22 works. Oh well. At least you can see that I win at inspiring people to do podfics of my works? Even if a lot of them are things I've recorded myself. *g* You can also see that I love backstory. (Hmm, maybe I should syn the two snippet comm tags? There's no point to having them separate...*goes to do so*)

Finally, hit counts.
The End and the Way (Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin) - 2475 hits
Accidental Bonding (dS) - 1330
The Best Policy (dS) - 1070
To Strive, To Seek, To Find - 1029
Push and Pull - 780

Wow. My Yuletide LHoD fic has almost twice as many hits as my most popular dS fic, despite it being in a much rarer fandom! \o/ The first dS story is a soulbonding story, which I guess is a popular trope. Then comes a light-hearted romance, and then comes my Fraser-is-asexual story. I'm pleased people like it! (Or click on it, at least.) And the last one, which is the sequel to the soul-bonding story, well. Aspects of the case in "Push and Pull" make me cringe, and I wish I could find the energy to rewrite those bits. *sigh*

Yeah, AO3's been aware of this bug for ages. I'm not sure whether fixing it requires a massive overhaul of how they process tags or else just that it's such a minor thing that it's at the bottom of the list to get to eventually. (I suspect it's the former.) It's unfortunate, because with real numbers it is a fascinating meme!

[luzula]

Hmm, well, it's listed as priority: medium, and difficulty: hard, so yes, I'm guessing it's being put off because it's hard to solve. : (

[seascribble]

Oh, huh, I did not know about the character tag bug. Bummer! I was just looking at my character and pairing stats feeling pleased about the level of Ray-balance I had achieved (gotta be proud about SOMETHING).

That is SO MANY WORDS.

[luzula]

If you actually filter by a tag, the number of works that comes up should be accurate (so if there's just a few you want to check, you can do it manually). But you can't really trust the top ten list, no. : ( And ha, I fail at Ray-balance.

Yeah, so many words! It's hard to believe. But then, it's piled up since 2007.
