25/26, nice! Sorting my works alphabetically made me realize I'd given two drabbles the same (fairly generic) title! How embarrassing. I've now changed one of them (though not in a way that would affect this meme!) I have very approximately 571 works on AO3 (a lot of them are drabbles, and some drabbles are posted in collections and some are posted singly, and for Purimgifts you have to post stories in multiple parts, and so on).

21/26, not bad. That's out of 299 fics--on AO3, though all the links go to the SWG which has almost all my fic there except the handful that aren't Tolkien. For the letters I do have I was spoiled for choice all except K, which just has the one. For E almost all my titles are "Echo of" something.

It as kind of fun going through my fics like that. There are some I'd forgotten about almost entirely. And now I kind of want to try to round out the whole alphabet going forward...

Dear Yuletide Author,

Thank you so much for writing for me! I'm happy that we share a love for these fandoms and characters.

I mean the prompts as suggestions only, in case it's helpful to have a starting point. If they don't work for you or if you have an idea you like better, then feel free to go with what inspires you. I don’t want this to be stressful, and I’m sure I will love what you write.

My AO3 username is Zdenka. If you want to see what I've requested for previous exchanges, you can use the "dear author letter" tag on this entry.

How much I talk about a fandom or character or prompt does not correspond to how much I want to receive a story for them. Requests are in alphabetical order by fandom, and I would be entirely happy to receive any of them. I welcome drabbles and treats of any length. :)
