Stolen from donutsweeper:

I currently have 42 works posted on AO3. Choose a random number - no peeking! - between 1 (most recently posted/updated) and 42, and I will tell you three random things about that story.

The majority of my stuff is not there, including 98% of my Dresden stuff, but what's there tends to be longer, so I should have more to say about it.

If you only have 42 works on there, then I have to ask for #42!

Number 42 is Somnus (http://archiveofourown.org/works/16206/chapters/20735), (badly formatted as it was my attempt to uplaod something there and I didn't know how it worked yet)

Somnus is where Dr Forrester originated, and he's probably my favourite Dresden OC. He arrived fully formed, and politely introduced himself and I put him in there. I needed him to be Captain Exposition, but he ended up having more of a role than I expected.

One of the character, Nick Meyers, was originally supposed to be a bad guy, but got a reprieve at the end, getting turned into a unknowing accomplice.

The demon's name, 'Deimos', is from mythology. Deimos is the Greek personification of terror, which is appropriate for what he does, but I've always felt sort of silly that his name is so similar to the word 'demon'. I felt like it looked like I couldn't think of anything better and just switched some letters up, or something. :-P
