Unfortunately, that does tend to be how single fandom archives work 🤣

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Thats kind of where I am too tbh. Single-fandom archives wont come back until Ao3 is lost in one way or another. (And they've made a lot of decisions I hate so I wouldn't be all that surprised if Ao3 is one day lost -- no matter how unthinkable people think that is.) Still, small hope. Small.

Sidenote, I did not realize what a fucking Juggernaut Rose motherfucking Tyler BY HERSELF was. 18,772 fics on Ao3. 16,665 on Teaspoon. 15,000 fics on fanfiction dot net -- sure, theres some cross posting there, but absolutely insane numbers lol

I used to assume everything would eventually funnel to Ao3, as its the biggest fic writing site. I still think that's true, but its an interesting anomaly to get more read in the single-fandom archive. Maybe some hope for diverse archives after all?

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Interesting especially to me because Teaspoon has fallen quite out of vogue for the newest seasons, which Ao3 is pretty healthy on:

A screenshot showing the diminishing number of fics from Twelve on

Ao3 showing a pretty good showing for 13/Yasmin, 12/Clara versus the rather small amount of fics for those doctors at all in Teaspoon

Most popular characters: Ten remains the juggernaut, but 13, 11, 12 all do quite well compared to their teaspoon offerings.

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

I wonder if this is because I'm writing for an older doctor, so the fandom is older. I wasn't expecting a fanfic for chars from 2012 to do gangbusters but I think its interesting I got 13 kudos (respectable) and 1 review on Ao3 and 0 reviews on the platform that doesn't let you leave kudos.

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

An interesting anomaly to me: writing Dr. Who fic is the first time in ages I've had a single-fandom archive I can upload fic to. I assumed I'd get the bulk of viewers on AO3, especially since Teaspoon has not been that active for a while, but I'm actually getting read more on Teaspoon:

archiveofourown.org/works/79995231 New Doctor Who fic! G rating, Rose/Tentwo. The Metacrisis gets in a traffic accident, and Rose is there when he wakes up. Talks about death, the afterlife, life, and children ensue. Hurt/Comfort, heavy on the comfort.

A fic snippet from Delicate by Ace Queen King:

"Try a lorry," she said shakily. "A small lorry—but still. A bloody lorry ran into you."

"Well, if its bloody, at least I mucked it up being brilliant on my way down," he said with a grin, trying to make the heaviness of the moment feel just a smidge lighter, but any levity he felt vanished when he looked at her.

She wasn't laughing.

Zoologist - Cow This one is weird to me. I'm almost completely anosmic to it -- I can smell a brief flash of apples for about one second on my skin, and then I can't smell the perfume at all. My SO can smell it on my skin (and the spouse's review is "pungent, floral?") but I can't lol Rare miss.

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Zoologist - Rabbit Rabbit is pretty much the polar opposite of Koala; if Koala is an expensive spa frag, then Rabbit is Jessica Simpson's Apple Pie dessert spray. This is a gourmet's gourmand on me, caramel apple pie that's sticky-sweet. Like, but not love. Too sweet. I am too bitter lol.

100

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Zoologist - Koala. Zoologist makes one of my favorite perfumes (Elephant) and this one is also a treat. This is all eucalyptus /camphor, then fades into a soapy tea scent. It smells like a spa, an expensive one that serves you hot tea next to a waterfall. Absolutely love it.

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Ghost Ship Emporium - New Orleans Vampire. This is a really, really close to BPAL's Tavern of Hell, just slightly less boozy. All absinthe and amber. Like most absinthes, it dries down to nothing really fast, even if I like that minty smell. Its fine, but I'm relieved I don't love it.

100

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

DS&Durga - Burning Barbershop. This is the one I was expecting would be an all-time winner easy-peasy. Unfortunately, it has a bit of a split personality - quite smoky at the start, and then a vanilla/lavender drydown. I actually wish this one was more linear so I could smell both at the same time

100

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

I legit started shipping them from SFxT. THEY HAD SO MUCH CHEMISTRY?

010

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Not my fav meadow scent (grasslands, above, is winning so far), but I'm quite sad Ghost Ship Emporium has gone out of business because they're a good third of this sample pack lol. It's hard to not trigger my "oh shoot I'll never be able to rebuy this, better preserve it forever" gremlin brain...

100

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Ghost Scent Emporium - Summerwinds I have wanted to try Ghost Scent Emporium for ages and they went out of business between the time I ordered these samples and when I got them. :( This is nice. Sassafras, sage, cedar, sweetgrass, vetiver. Smoky but also...Kinda powdery? Sweet.

100

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Paraphrase - Grasslands This is a solid LOVE. Lavender, Tobacco, Hay & Oakmoss. This smells like a wide open prairie for miles & miles, blue sky in my eyes and all the hay in the fields and the flowers in the wild. An idealized version of home. Doesn't carry super far but it doesn't have to.

Hay in the fields. This picture is what this smells like to me.

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

I HAVE NOT EVEN HEARD OF THIS ONE. I will add it to the next pack after I work through this one. I like the couple of the Etat's I've tried and I have "ghost in the shell" in this pack so looking forward. I like Rose but it is a very love it/hate it note on the perfumes themselves.

110

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Frederic Malle - Portrait of a Lady Got this despite the clove top note because I ADORE Rose scent and I've seen, over and over,that everyone likes THIS particular Rose scent. Unfortunately, Clove remains my nemesis and this smells like spicy Rose and ylang-ylang-scented cigarettes.

220

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

DS & Durga - Cowboy Grass Oh, I like the masc version MUCH better than the feminine one. Vetiver and Sage, mostly. I think this one might worth buyin, I can soften it with a little vanilla musk on top. Very antistringent and grassy, like a medicinal tonic, splashed on the face. LIKE.

110

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Ganymede Marc-Antoine Barrois One that seems to have a very wide variety of smells to people judging by the reviews. Most mention leather or metallic notes. Weirdly my sample is just...warm vanilla + cedar. I like it, but I wish I got the alien spaceship vibes. More comfy gran than the Dr.

110

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

First up - DS & Durga, Cowgirl grass. I was hoping this would be mostly vetiver &grass, with slight hints of flowers; a prairie-girl scent. But alas, this is a very LOUD & GIRLY cowgirl. All powdery peony and amber. Feels dated, very late 80s/early 90's. Doesn't agree with my skin/taste. Shame.

120

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

First, a bit about my perfume taste: - My skin tends to amp sweet smells - Also amp Clove which unfortunately smells immediately like sugary cigs on me (RIP) - nag champa/dragons blood? Headache inducers - tend to prefer unisex frags - favorite frag fam is fougeres

100

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

I'm making a threat for Perfume thoughts, mostly because I have an ungodly number of samples to wok through that I'm not proud of lol.

What is this, a gay manga from 1995? Rose of Versailles had more gay ass content than that.

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

That’s the thing though. All the talk is unrelentingly negative and I just want to talk about what I like about it. I’m well aware of the series and its flaws and its laziness I don’t think it’ll die with Harada leaving tbh And even if, plenty of fandoms without new content still get fans

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Oh no I love talking tekken with you. I just miss being able to talk to more people about it.

AceQueenKing @acequeenking.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Both my main fandoms right now are twenty years old and understandably no one wants to talk about the plot for them. But it sucks because I AM STILL FERAL

I really hate the translators for this game because they went above and beyond to massacre certain characters. Like Xiaoyu is more than a Jin chasing machine lol Hwoarang and Steve are def not that mean to women specifically (and aren’t in the Jp version)

Unusual story structure, which I am always a slut for. I recommend listing to the audio version from Lightspeed, which is pretty neat in how it is accomplished. Overall a strong start, and I think it will be hard to beat. Also at 17 minutes long...It makes good use of its time lol.
