Pick a number, any number...

Hm; haven't seen this meme before. Lifted from [livejournal.com profile] izhilzha:

I have 656 works archived at AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 656 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.

Heh. I've certainly been a busy bee over the last decade, haven't I? This could get interesting.

Gee, golly, that's a LOT.

*is in awe*

How about #79?

I'll pick #1. Looking forward to the answer on the debut fic!

Oops, mean #656. *puts on bifocals*

Who doesn't like BAMF women? Crazy people, that's who.

I lost interest in the Fast and the Furious series after the third movie though I did like Mia. *ponders watching the newer movies*

I am in awe of how prolific you manage to be while still living a very full life! You're amazing.

I'll pick 545.

This looks like fun. :) what about 124?

[grinning]

And now I am very amused, because I very deliberately did not peek at other people's numbers in the archive before making up my mind about the number I posted below.

25 please! ;)

I'm torn between picking a relatively low (and thereby more recent) number, with the amusing if improbable hope of landing something I prompted, and picking a relatively high number just to see what happens when you look back at the really early stuff.

[pause, think]

Okay, rampant curiosity wins...

542.

[reads]

Nodnodnod; all those are good things, indeed. (And actually -- he said, glancing over pages in the archive -- I'd say you do reasonably well with titles overall. Deity knows I have enough trouble with some of mine....)

483?

Damn that is a heckuva count!!

Ummmm choices. 313!

If it's not too late, I'd like to ask about #593, which should be "Eclipse" if I've counted right. This was one of your stories that made me start stalking your fic and reading it, finished or not, despite how much I hate reading dribs and drabs of WIPs.

And speaking of reading, I'm waiting to read some of your recent stuff after I get my new glasses (reading for any length of time at all is a literal pain when your glasses prescription is off) and I'm also hoping to see Iron Man 3 before I read spoilers.

Lastly, your portfolio is downright astounding. Thank you so much for sharing all of that! I hope you continue and that 656 will only be a proverbial drop in the bucket of your future works.

Meant to reply MONTHS ago...

Your reply to this has been sitting in my inbox for practically forever (well, since May, anyway) and I meant to comment back that it shows that you always do your research. The proverbial devil is always in the details and even though I may not always notice it because I'm not necessarily into all of the fandoms you write, I have seen the amazing attention to detail you've put into the ones that I do. The same goes for the smidges of science, history and literature with which I'm familiar that I have seen referenced in your works and I know there are a lot of things that zip past my head at warp 9 that I don't notice. How you manage to do so much research and write such in-depth characterizations and plots (all too often so very much better than the original creators managed and very nearly always as well as) while maintaining a full time job and 'normal' life, I'll never know.
