I am not doing this with a great deal of focus – I am just trying to get some random reflections down.
ao3 wrapped [reader edition]
1. Do you know how many works your read this year?
Nope! I have 120+ bookmarked this year
2. Longest work you read this year?
Longest single work was The Pack Survives by astolat, at 176K – which just finished this week.
Longest thing in my bookmarks Banners from the Turrets by DesdemonaKaylose, neveralarch, towards_morning, which is a collection of several works over 249K.
3. Shortest work you read this year (not including art published on ao3)?
all at a rush by anthean (Restricted) – 7K
4. Do you have any works you read that are between you and your web browser?
Yuuuup.
5. Did anything you read make you cry?
Artists Unknown by Trudemaethien for MizGoat (MxOpifex) – Star Wars Clone Wars fic – proposes two clone artists who meet, and whose works hangs together in a museum after their inevitable Clone Wars deaths because Clone Wars fic exists to make you howl at the moon.
6. What's your absolute favorite works you read this year?
This Is Why We Can Have Nice Things by jedusaur – This is actually one I read just in late December last year but going thru these notes I wanted to give it an honorable mention.
7. Did you read through any authors entire works?
I don’t think so?
8. Pairing you read the most for?
Probably the broad category of Jedi/Clone in the Star Wars fandom
9. Favorite rare pair you read works for this year?
I got into Megatron/Rung in the Transformers fandom, which was… unexpected but great!
10. Largest fandom you read for?
Star Wars!
11. Smallest fandom you read for?
Original fic!
12. Did you as a reader receive any works as gifts?
Nope.
13. What trope do you think you read the most of?
I’m always intrigued by soulmate aus and arranged marriage fic – something about people having to figure out who they’ll be together is great.
14. Favorite AU you read this year?
Everybody Lives fic for Star Wars Clone Wars – I want the clones to get a nice retirement package and have to figure out how to cook for themselves
15. Favorite canon concept you read this year?
16. Were you comments coherent or mostly screaming?
Coherent – I do a bit of screaming but I try to follow them up with HOW the fic has delighted me.
17. Did you leave any comments that had to be in more than one part?
Ah, no.
18. How many works did you bookmark this year?
About 120!
19. Did you read any works published before this year?
Many!
20. Did you download any works?
I try to download everything that I liked. In a sad note, at least one author whose work I enjoyed up and deleted everything from AO3, so I downloaded a lot of their work from third party archives to save it.
21. WIP's or completed works?
I am here for both.
22. Category you read the most of?
I do not understand this question? Are we talking sexiness rating?
23. What time of day do you read the most during?
Evening
24. Where do you read the most?
Bed, probably.
25. Do you read on your phone or on your computer?
Phone and kindle!
26. Did you do any beta reading for anyone?
Iphys!
27. Do you listen to anything while reading?
Not consistently!
28. Did any line/passage stick with you after you read it?
Nothing I can pick out but I will circle back if I can.
29. Do you have any works you think are required reading for (fandom)?
We’re chaotic here, but I do think that Astolat’s works are important reading for being on AO3. This place was built so she could post kink without it getting taken down.
30. Biggest surprise for you as a reader this year?
I was trying to tag everything I read in my bookmarks (caveat: everything completed and that I read to completion) and it turns out I didn’t do that as consistently as I had thought – I might need to go back thru my bookmarks and updated them.
