AO3 tags meme from trobadora

trobadora, a meme, wherein I guessed at the answers, then looked them up on my AO3 dash:
1. What rating do you write most fics under?
My guess: Explicit, then General Audiences, for all those drabbles.
Actually: 471 General Audiences, 231 Explicit. I guess I severely undercounted the drabbles.
2. What are your top 3 fandoms?
My guess: DCU (counting all of the subsidiaries), Star Wars - All Media Types, Life on Mars. Possibly Batman is in there.
Actually: DCU (269), Star Wars - All Media Types (119), Star Wars Prequels (which I will la la la over) (67), Slings & Arrows (56). Life on Mars is only (only!) 48.
3. What are your top (3) character(s) you write about?
My guess: Dick Grayson (even one in the last two weeks), Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake.
Actually: Dick Grayson (122), Bruce Wayne (121), Tim Drake (102). The runners-up from Star Wars fandom are Obi-Wan Kenobi at 68 and Anakin Skywalker at 67.
4. What are the 3 top pairings?
My guess: Dick Grayson/Bruce Wayne, Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker, and Tim Drake/Bruce Wayne.
Actually: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker (48 due to Kinktober a few years back), Dick Grayson/Bruce Wayne (42), and Gene Hunt/Sam Tyler (20). If I counted all 31 of the Obi-Wan/Anakin Kinktober stories as 1 story, that would knock the Jedi down to 18, which is still respectably obsessive at number 3. Tim/Bruce is only 10, coming in two under Stephanie Brown/Tim Drake, my most written het ship, which means one of my top tags should really be We're Not Straight We Just Love Each Other.
5. What are the top 3 additional tags?
My guess: Drabble, Poetry, Limericks.
Actually: Drabble (369), Gift Fic (78) which I wasn't aware was a tag on any of my work, Poetry (54), Limericks (42).
6. Did any of this surprise you? e.g. what turned out to be your top tag.
I feel like I should have known Slings & Arrows was in my top 3 fandoms. That explains why, when I last visited Stratford, ON, I recognized multiple names on the walk of stars -- not just the Canadian nobodies like William Shatner and Justin Bieber, or the imports like Alec Guinness, whoever that is, but William Hutt, that star of stage and screen.
The pairings being the only place all that time in Life on Mars fandom shows up is deeply entertaining. I wonder how many of those stories are also other pairings too, but tagged Gene/Sam because how else does one communicate with that fandom?
As for the additional tags, dear me but I have written a lot of drabbles, since some of the things tagged "Drabble" are collections and drabble sequences. I'm glad I have a lot of things I have given away over the years, but I definitely have more than 78 stories dedicated to other people on the AO3, so "Gift Fic" isn't automatic any more than "Crossover" is.
