superhero_muses Last week I asked what the rarest pair you've ever written for was, so I guess this week I'll flip it and ask what's the most popular pairing you've ever written for?
I thought Clark/Bruce might be it at 11K fics, but nope, I wrote a few Holmes/Watson fics and they clock in at a whopping 72K! They're both aided by having so many different forms and canons out there (fingers crossed I find the Clark from the upcoming Superman movie shippy in some way! I like Cavill but his take on Clark left me cold at the shipping level).
Are you working on something with a lot of fics out there for it right now? Is your current sandbox large or small? I'm thinking about writing a small story for a pairing with five whole fics about them in a fandom with 103 extant fics, so... it's more than the last one, at least! Maybe I'm working my way up slowly to pairings that people are actually invested in lol.
