Title Alphabet
Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for a fic title? One fic per line, 'A' and 'The' do not count for 'a' and 't'. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count. OK, so I was originally tagged to do this, and I had fun doing most of it, and then. THEN, I realised I only had four letters unfilled. At once I was SEIZED with Feanorian levels of hubris and decided it would take no time at all to write 'just a quick thing' for four letters. Several months later...
I thought at first that removing 'A' and 'The' made this particularly tricky, but now I realise that A + T are 1-point scrabble tiles for a reason: I had lots of options for A&T.
Also, apparently almost everything I write is gen so I don't know why I bothered listing the Gs,.
This challenge made me think: why are so many things I write SO LONG. But my recent things are short, so that's a win!
@sallysavestheday tagged me to do this one, thank you for that! But I am going to be extremely cautious who I tag. I think @hhimring might enjoy it though, and probably has enough fics already that the trap of 'just four more!' will not be too risky to attempt. So: the stories:
