--What are your top two most used additional tags, and your bottom two? What would happen if you combined all of these into a fic?

Let's see... the top two are:

Humor (54)
Angst (35)

And the "bottom two" (obviously I have a bunch of one-shots too, but this is the listed bottom):

Kayfabe Compliant (18)
Episode Tag (17)

It would not be at all hard to combine these into an angsty story set in the fictional wrestling world, expanding on a canon event, that ends on a humorous note. It does limit me pretty much to wrestling fandom, unfortunately! What kind of story do you end up with when you put them all together?

For me, the top two are:

Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (87)
Established Relationship (67)

And the bottom two are:

Male-Female Friendship (26)
POV Female Character (20)

I was surprised at the first one because I thought I wrote more getting together fics but then again, the older ones that I moved from LJ to AO3 when I first got an account are probably sparsely tagged.

I think it would be pretty easy to combine all four though! It'd likely be a story in Lois's POV - either she's dating someone else and the m/f friendship is with Clark or if she is with Clark, it would be someone else that she's close to in canon, like Oliver Queen or Jimmy Olsen. But I'm sure those themes could easily work for any of my fandoms.

You too, huh? In part it's because it was daunting to tag, but in part also it's because the tagging culture was so different and more minimal. I look at some of my earlier stuff now and am kind of shocked at how sparsely tagged it is.

I like the idea of a story about Lois and Jimmy's friendship with established Clark/Lois in the background!
