--What are your top four fandoms by numbers? Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot? (if your work is mostly original, do you have "worlds" you tend to stay in more than others?)

DCU (Comics) (194)
DCU (47)
World Wrestling Entertainment (46)
Sherlock (TV) (23)

I'm honestly shocked that the WWE has moved into the top three, and will certainly be #2 by the end of next week or so! It'll be a while before it moves into the #1 spot, though... If we were to go by words, I'm pretty sure the Hobbit movies would be perhaps #3, but the DCU would probably jump even higher into #1. I tend to be very very monofannish; it's only recently that I've tried to write in more than one at once because I don't want to lose touch with the comic book world even though pro wrestling has kind of eaten my soul.

You may remember that last week I was ALMOST done with three different stories? Well, as I suspected would happen, I now have FOUR finished shiny works ready to post, just... not enough time to post them! It's really nice to have a backlog for a change, though! I hope all is going well for you too! In what world is your writing taking place this week?

Let's see here:

DCU (comics & movies) = 93
Smallville = 71
SGA = 11

And then there's a smattering in other places like Narina, Leverage, etc. Just about what I thought. I fell hard into Smallville and then shifted to DCU when Lex was made irredeemable and then went off to my original fiction.

On the original side of things, yes, I definitely have various 'verses that I tend to spend more time in. But it cycles rather than one claiming all my attention. I'll focus on one, writing a few books / novellas / short stories, and then shift to another one depending on my mood and what skills I'm working on.

Right now I'm working on writing romance so the new Drath 'verse, the Manor 'verse and Muirin are getting my attention. I was focusing on writing fantasy so Tindiere was the big winner.

Not counting short stories, the numbers are:

Tindiere = 16 titles (long and short)
Muirin = 13 (long and short)
Manor = 6 (all novels)

Interestingly the Drath 'verse was started on 6/11 and it's already got 2 novels and I'm writing the 3rd currently. When I go hard on a 'verse I go HARD! *grin*

Yay for completed things backed up for release! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I'm the opposite right now. I had worked to have a backlog of short stories to release each week but I've been having so much fun with the Drath novels that they're all I've got at the moment. Well, them plus the fantasy novel from a few months ago with the nonbinary characters. I'm hopeful that I'll get that one out this week. Just have to finish the POD version and I'll be good to go.

Have a great week!

I just want to say I love your original names, they're so awesome. And I like the way you make a fannish history like that--I bet we could all make maps showing the path of our fannishness, like a river that ambles along or goes really slow and wide and deep for one section and tumultuous but narrow for another...

(Here's a secret confession--we're supposed to be showing guests around Tokyo tomorrow and the next day, and I'm hoping very much to say that we can only do it in the evening, then spend all day crashed in the hotel room getting caught up on both work and fannish things. What a luxury that would be...)
