[Meme] Fanfiction Story Alphabet

[edenfalling]

I gacked this from askerian and joisbishmyoga. I'm listing everything (with minor caveats), because I felt like being exhaustive. Also, I wanted to see how the title spread broke down by letter.

Fanfiction Alphabet Story Meme
---------------------------------------------

First, the key. Anything without a fandom label -- (Fandom Name), so -- is a Harry Potter fic. Anything with a 5 dash indent, -----, instead of a 2 dash indent, --, is a part of Fixation, and Other Stories, so you can count them or not count them as you please; they hook together thematically, but they make a story collection rather than a true story. Anything with a 5 dash indent that is also italicized is a part of "Fixation" that I've finished but haven't yet posted on thirtyforthree. I'm listing them because they ARE complete, even though they haven't been made public. Again, you can count them or not as you please.

Unfinished stories are not listed, unless they are chaptered WIPs -- like "Guardian," "Lemonade," or "Secrets" -- or I've posted a section -- like "The Dragon Debacle" -- in which case I consider them 'published' to a certain degree.

*blinks* *stares* Um. You know, I've written a lot more than I'd actually realized...

I'm missing J, N, Q, X, and Z. Technically I'm also missing U -- I don't think "untitled McGonagall snippet" is a real title -- but that will correct itself when I finish "Undertow," so whatever. Seriously, though, how am I missing N? The others aren't terribly common letters, but N? That's the first letter of my own family name! Clearly I have been remiss.

I overuse F, L, M, R, S, and T. I used G, O, and W more than I expected. And for some reason, all three stories that start with H are not Harry Potter stories; that amuses me.

(Minor note: I'm not listing Theories of Attraction, because it's more of an essay than a fic. It was an attempt to talk myself into writing a story, but it fizzled before I reached the story part.)

ETA: I will be updating this as I write new stories, because I am weird and obsessive like that, and I want to hit every letter. I knocked J off the list, 9/17/06. Z knocked off 9/28/06. N knocked off 10/15/06. X knocked off 10/16/06. Q knocked off 10/18/06. MWAHAHAHAHA VICTORY IS MINE!!! *cough* I mean, yay, finished!

ETA 2: I have subsequently changed some of the titles of "Fixation" sections. For those I haven't yet posted, I changed the titles on this list as well. For those that were posted, I have left the titles unchanged here, since the new titles will only be used within the 'unified' story, and the old titles identify the standalone versions. (Yes, I'm taking this way too seriously. We all have our quirks.)

Oh hey, maybe I shouldn't have ordered the "the blahblah" titles like i did. XD

... your system looks even more complicated than mine. XD;;;

It comes of being related to a librarian; 'the,' 'a,' and 'an' are never counted when alphabetizing books, so I don't count them either. I think this is because they're articles, so they're not important; the nouns that follow them are important.

But a lot of people do count 'the' as an integral part of a title -- especially internet sites, which tend to alphabetize by program and haven't bothered to do a workaround that discounts those three words -- so your method is just as valid.
