A - An Elegant Man, HP
B - Beg Me For It, HP
C - Colony Atlantis, SGA/SG-1 crossover

E - Eye Spyder, HP
F - First Time A Soldier, SG-1
G - Guy Talk, HP

L - Last Port Of Call, SGA
M - Music, HP
N - Necromancy for the Living, SGA
O - Out Of Bounds, SGA
P - Primer to the Dark Arts, HP
Q - Ron As 'Q', HP <-- look, ma! I cheated!
R - Rising Sun, HP
S - Sonic Boom, SG-1
T - Two Way Mirror, HP
U - Unexpected Guest, HP
V - The horror! Nothing starts with 'V.' I lose at Sesame Street.
W - The Walls Of Jericho, SG-1
X - Alas, I also lose a cheap sci-fi rip-off marketing.
Y - Your Friendly Neighborhood Death Eater, HP

So I guess I win a consolation prize. A stuffed Big Bird?

Will Cookie Monster do?

Man, you're prolific.

Yay, Cooooookiiiiiiieeeeees!

You're not kidding. I was having to pick and choose fics for most of these letters. Check this out (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories).

Wow.

I think I have five or six.

O_o

I fail.

This is what I do in my free time.

All of my free time.

Hah, I'm not doing that meme until I have a K...I know I won't get V, X or Z, but I do have two Qs already, and the K is in the pipeline. If I ever have time to finish it.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I am going to name something beginning with K, just to flesh out this meme. And because I'm surprised there's no K. *head scratching*

By the way, a Yousendit file:

If you really think about it, how many high-frequency words begin with the letter K? The Brown University telephone codex only lists "kind," "keep," "know" and various derived forms thereof in its top 1000 words. (And also "Kennedy," but that's cheating and an artifact of the method.) The only other really common words I can think of are "king" and "key." The title of my K-fic is not in English.

There's "Kill." I'm sure I can start a violent fanfic title with that.

Or maybe... "Killing Time"? The story could be anything.

I have a Big Bird PJ bag. Would that do?

Uh. Don't ask.

I'm very impressed - so many stories and so many different letters. *squint* Was that deliberate or just a cunning turn of luck?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Neither. Counting the drabbles, I have 160 stories with 160 different names. So, divide that by 26 letters....

Icarus

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Bear in mind that, um, I've been writing fanfic since 2001, and there was a period where I was out of work so....

Icarus

[enname.livejournal.com]

Still, even with doing the math the most common titles for things usually don't have such a variety of letters .... looking up any index out there there are usually a great deal more 't's and stuff. The fact that you had so few letters un titled is .. yeah.

Just interesting statisically : ) Kinda cool too.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

The trick is to not have titles that sound the same. That's harder. For example, I goofed and have two SG-1 titles: Arguing with the Gods, and For the Petulant Gods. Those are too similar.

yeah, i couldn't flesh out that meme quite that much...now i wanna do it...
i should be doing my homework... silly real world... they just don't understand. pfft.

[theemdash]

I came up 6 letters short, so you did better than me (also I cheated on K, because the fic hasn't been finished or posted). X is pretty impossible, though. You should be comended on having a Z.
