23/26. I have 362 works on AO3. I actually had a lot of W and P titles, which I did not expect. I think 'x' is difficult unless I name a fic X marks the spot?? I could probably come up with titles for the other two letters.

Wow! Well done, you!

I'm surprised to realise I could do everything except X... but how do you choose which one for which letter? (Mostly a rhetorical question, but I'd be interested in your answer.)

[impala_evolved]

Thanks :)

I just went reverse-chronological on my AO3 works page and started picking letters as I went. Then when I started to get a lot of repeat fandoms (mostly Roswell New Mexico), I started skipping over those until I found a different fandom. I had a bunch of tabs open with "L" and "P" titles for a while, because I wanted to find smaller fandoms that I'd written for and those letters came up a lot. Other than that it was random!

[mrs_leary]

Very cool!

Of course I've been trying to come up with an "X" title for my WIP ever since, but I might have to leave that wrestling match for later on...

[svgurl]

23/26 is awesome! And X is a hard one, though this game really makes me want to figure out titles for the letters I don't have yet. :D

[impala_evolved]

Thanks! Yeah X is so tricky but I think filling in the list is a worthy endeavor ;D

[tellshannon815]

I had X is for X-ray for mine. I think X is the letter most people had trouble with.

[impala_evolved]

Oh nice, I'll go check out your list!

[scintilla10]

Ooooh, 23, nice! And yeah, it IS tempting to find titles for the missing letters ... ;D

[impala_evolved]

Thanks! I hate leaving a list unfinished :P

[dreamersdare]

One day I'm gonna write a fic with a x title just for this meme...

Xrays and other mundane superpowers? Xylophone Blues? XXX (you know the drill)?

I have no fics to go with these titles, but, eh, semantics

[impala_evolved]

Hell yeah! All three of those proposed titles give wildly different vibes, lol.
