Primeval pairing count meme

[jooles34]

I ganked this from telperion_15 and fififolle because it looked fun and interesting.




Basically is a count of up the pairings I have used writing Primeval fic. If a fic was mutli-chaptered I just counted it as one, but if there was a first fic, then I did a follow-up, then I have counted it as two.

Connor/Lester               59 (IT’S CANON, I TELL YOU)
Connor/Becker              10
Stephen/Ryan                 9
Lester/Becker/Connor      6
Lester/Becker                 6
Lester/Ryan                    6
Becker/others                 4
Abby/Connor                   3
Lester/Stephen               3
Stephen/Abby                 2
Becker/Ryan                   2
Connor/Danny                 2
Jenny/Sarah                   2
Connor/Ryan                  2

All the following have a score of one…
Connor/Burton, Abby/Connor/Becker, Lester/Danny, Connor/Stephen, Lester/Ryan/Lyle, Nick/Becker, Ryan/Stephen/Connor, Nick/Stephen, Nick/Claudia, Lester/ ?, Becker/Danny, Becker/Wilder.

I knew who would have the top spot, but even I am quite surprised by the margin. I mean….look at it… And places 1, 2, 4 and 5 show something of a theme. *ahem*. And it’s interesting to me, that there are a couple of pairings, like Connor/Ryan, who I adore, but apparently rarely to write myself. Thankfully there are so many other writers in the fandom happy to pander!

And the characters to appear in the most pairings?

Becker    9
Connor    8
Lester     8
Ryan       6
Stephen   4
Abby       3
Danny     3
Nick       3
Jenny     2
Sarah     2
Claudia, Burton, Wilder, Lyle 1

What amuses the most here is that not only is Becker at the top, but that he also makes an appearance in the first list with “others”. This is when I have kept the other party anonymous or they have been non-canon or fanon characters. He is such a little black dress that on four occasions I didn’t even name who wore him!

And sorry about the shonky formatting.
