There is Lord Peter Wimsey fanfic? :O

I have written in exactly one of those fandoms! (Two if we're counting "anime/manga".) Plus 2/3 in the second list.

Oh oh oh, get this: I finally read The Warrior's Apprentice! And I am like 50 pages from the end of The Vor Game.

[alias_sqbr]

Yes, yes there is :)

Heh. I've written in four, if you count comics with minimal dialogue as "writing" :)

Yaaaaay Vorkosigan! Wait, have you read "Shards of Honour"? Because that's actually the first one, even if Miles isn't in it. ("Falling free" is chronologically first but doesn't count since it's like 100 years earlier and doesn't even mention Barryar)

[lizbyrd.livejournal.com]

I have indeed read Shards of Honour and Barrayar, I think you lent the omnibus to me way back when you were tutoring me for 2MA1 and as I recall it took me forever to get it back to you.

[alias_sqbr]

Ah, see I vaguely half remembered that but thought I might be thinking of someone else. I do try to foist them on everyone I meet :)

[lizbyrd.livejournal.com]

It would not be an unreasonable assumption to assume you had leant them to somebody who would not take a good 5 years or so to read more of the series, honestly.

[alias_sqbr]

Yeah but it doesn't feel like five years ago :)

*has a vague think about time and the past and realises it's been seven years since I was an undergrad. Seven!*

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

I've written in 17 and a half of those fandoms, holy crap.

[alias_sqbr]

Pfft, only 17? What about all the others? Get cracking! Some of us rely on people like to write our fanfic for us!

[irisbleufic.livejournal.com]

That is quite a list!

[alias_sqbr]

I have a feeling some of the "I've never read any fanfic for this, but I'm sure I'd like it" assumptions are wrong. I've only written (comics) for four :) (plus a bunch of "He-man" for skeletor_hordak, but since that was parody I'm not sure it counts)

[fred-mouse.livejournal.com]

which begs the question - where on the internets are you going to find some of this stuff?

[alias_sqbr]

yuletide and crack_van, mostly :) But I'm not looking for all of these. There just the ones I'm open to.
