Oct. 3rd, 2017 08:53 pmHi author! Thank you for volunteering to write for me! I hope that this letter is useful; and if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them through the usual channels.
General things that I like to read: found-family fics, case fics, ship fics, gen fics, OT3s, and stories about friendship in general — especially odd friendships/friendships that are suggested but not expanded upon in canon. I like friendships and stories about people trying out poly/alternative relationship formats and (trying to) communicate about them! I don’t actively seek out explicit fics most of the time, and the ones I do like are focused heavily on the characters’ personalities and relationship as expressed through sex more than the doing of the do.
Domestic and slice-of-life stories are my absolute favorite, for whatever value of domestic fits the characters. I’m fond of characters dealing with the aftermath of cataclysmic shifts in their lives. Learning to deal with tragedy and picking up the pieces is good. I really like stories about the fantastic intersecting with the everyday world -- the hero comes home from their adventures in another world, and what do they tell people? How do they explain their absence, the changes in their personality, their new friendships? I don't know that all of this specifically applies to my fandoms below, but that is a general idea of what I gravitate towards. Happy stories are awesome, but straight-up fluff is not really my thing. If you’d rather go full-on darkfic, you can do that, too! I like unrequited pining, creepy canon divergences, darker takes on canon, etc, as long as it doesn't depart completely from the tone of the canon.
I multiship like no one's business, but I don’t like stories that assume an established relationship that doesn’t exist in canon - so, for example, while I'd read a story that included Harry Potter/Hermione Granger, I'm unlikely to read a story that starts out with Harry getting Hermione a kitten for their anniversary, or one that takes as a given a drunken makeout in the past that never happened in canon.
Do Not Want: character bashing, misogyny/racism/homophobia/transphobia (even if it’s in-character; I just don't want to read it for Yuletide); underage anything; child abuse; non-con; dub-con; non-canonical trans characters; May-December romances, age-play kink, watersports, issuefic. I loathe a/b/o with a burning passion.
