DD ruminations

[alisanne]

As many of you know, I've been participating in daily_deviant since 2007. And, with the exception of the year of cancer, I haven't missed many months.
So I thought I'd compile some wacky statistics and see how that all has shaken out so far.

For me, the big draw of DD is to be able to write pairings and kinks I normally wouldn't. Things like The Fat Lady/Molly Weasley, or Wormtail wanking while in rat form (LMAO). And yes, I even managed copraphagy (scat) once.

Anyway, I figured I'd do some calculations and see just how much I rely on my OTP for DD.
And since I consider Harry/Draco my secondary OTP, I figured I'd throw them into the calculation, too. ;)

Out of 113 total posts, I have written 23 Snarry fics, 9 Harry/Draco, and 4 Drapery. Which means about 20% of the time I write my OTP, H/D is 7%, and Drapery is 3%. That puts me at around 30% overall.
And, considering I often write my OTP for DD when desperate (I call it committing emergency Snarry *g*), that's not too bad, IMO.
FYI, I left out fics with background Snarry (where they are just mentioned as couple, but not the focus of the story).

Writing 70% 'other stuff' counts as being adventurous as far as I'm concerned. *g*

Right, how about you guys?
Especially those of you in DD, let's see your stats. I'm curious!

Super interesting!!

I also love DD because it really makes me step outside my comfort zone and write pairings/genres/styles/kinks that are outside my usual.

I'm totally going to look into my stats now (though I have a lot less data than you do!).

*nods*
That's exactly why I love writing there, too. I mean when else would I write such wacky rarepairs/kinks and stretch myself? :)
And yes, I wanna see your stats! <3

That's awesome, Ali! Ten years writing such a variety of things is an accomplishment. Is there an easy way to figure the percentages out, or did you just go through and count it up yourself?

[alisanne]

LOL! Alas, I had to do it all myself. There's no easy way I know of.
*hugs* Thanks, sweetie. <3
I can't wait to see yours!

Super impressed by prolixity, diversity of pairings, the sheer stick-to-it-ness of ten years of writing for DD. Congrats!

*psst* What's Drapery? M.

[alisanne]

Thank you, dear!
DD has been good for my ~creativity. ;)

Drapery is DRaco/snAPE/harRY. *g*

What DD has taught me that I'm vanilla, through and through.

[alisanne]

Yeah, I've always thought of myself as the vanilla DD member.
I'm happy to share the title, though. :)
