Go to your Works page on AO3, look at the tags, and see what the answers to these questions are. (Or any other site that has tags)
1. What rating do you write most fics under?
Explicit. I wanted to say that this number was skewed by how easy it is to write tiny ficlets about [recip's favourite kink] for exchanges, but then I sorted my fics by wordcount and saw that the longest ones are mostly E-rated too. So I guess I just like writing smut?
2. What are your top 3 fandoms?
1. Star Wars Sequel Trilogy by an absurd margin - 144 fics. Then 2. Bleach (28) and 3. Captain America (20).
Out of curiosity, I also tried filtering for Star Wars and MCU as umbrella fandoms. In that case, the numbers work out as 1. Star Wars (161), 2. MCU (34) and 3. Bleach (28).
3. What is your top character you write about?
Kylo Ren. I have written 129 fics about Kylo Ren since 2018. God help me.
4. What are the 3 top pairings?
1. Rey/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (64), 2. Abarai Renji/Kuchiki Byakuya (15), 3. Finn/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (11).
5. What are the top 3 additional tags?
1. Ben Solo Lives (28), 2. Post-Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (22), 3. Established Relationship (11).
6. Did any of this surprise you? e.g. what turned out to be your top tag.
I'm not at all surprised that Star Wars dominates so hard, because it has been my primary fandom since I saw The Last Jedi at the end of 2017; prior to that, I don't think I ever lasted longer than two years in any one fandom.
(Kylo, represented in >50% of all fics I've ever posted to AO3, gets his well-deserved icon rep for this post.)
