Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for starting 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.
A: “And in its narrow Eyes—” (Babylon 5)
B: Bring Out the Lady (Chess) (the board game, not the musical)
C: C Is for Conjuration (Sesame Street)
D: Doctor Boo (Doctor Who / Animaniacs)
E: Elementary Particles: reprinted from the reminiscences of Professor Bernice S. Summerfield (Doctor Who / Sherlock Holmes?)
F: Fool Me Thrice, Shame on Who (Doctor Who / Monkey Island)
G:
H: Her Silvery Nemesis (Doctor Who)
I: In the Café of Reasonable Comfort (Doctor Who / Blackadder)
J: Just a Coincidence (Doctor Who)
K: The Kumars at the Type 40 (Doctor Who / The Kumars at No. 42)
L: Like falling off a log, only perpendicular (Good Omens)
M: Mightier Than the Bird (Untitled Goose Game / Discworld)
N: Naming Rights (Doctor Who)
O:
P: The Phantom Dennis of the Opera (Angel / The Phantom of the Opera)
Q: The Question of Caroline Louisa (Kay Harker)
R: Rather Be Happy Than Right (Magnus and Varne)
S: Sesame Treats (Sesame Street / Sleepy Hollow / Elementary / Agents of SHIELD)
T: Today (The Pretender)
U: Uncommon Readers (Unusual Dragon Hoards / Archive of Our Own)
V:
W: A week next Saturday at the Stork Club (Captain America)
X:
Y: You'd Swear the Dice Were Doing It on Purpose (Thor)
Z:
That's a reasonable sample of things I've written for, I think, including the fact that much of my oeuvre is Doctor Who and Doctor Who crossovers. Pretty much everything I've written for more than once is represented.
Final count: 21/26, from 51 works. The missing letters near the end of the alphabet were expected, but some of the earlier ones were a bit of a surprise.
