I am generally pretty flexible with the things I like. Character-driven stories are awesome, plot-driven stories are awesome, explicit porn is awesome, angst and bleakness are awesome, happy endings are awesome, humour is awesome! Etc.
A few of my favourite things include:
-Canon divergence AUs!
-Time travel shenanigans, particularly characters going back in time to change their own past (I always love a good Peggy Sue)
-Politics, history and worldbuilding in general
-Road trips (or spaceship trips, actual ship trips, etc)
-Enemies forced to work together by circumstance
-Unexpected and unconventional happy endings
-Bittersweet endings
-Tragedies that are more-or-less inevitable given the nature of the individuals involved
-People living in less-than-ideal or even actively hostile situations who manage to carve out some kind of happiness despite that.
Porn likes include rough/frantic sex, emphasising nonhuman strengths/capabilities/anatomy for nonhuman or superpowered characters, dirty talk, mild D/s, and bondage/restraints.
I am generally okay with violence, noncon, character death, etc - provided that it is warned for up front - though I would prefer that stories do not focus solely on trauma/horror/violence, and if these do come up as part of the story, I am more interested in the lead up and the aftermath than in dragging out the details of the act itself.
If you need to work your way around a canon relationship of any configuration to write a pairing I've requested (or just like writing it), I do generally enjoy poly and open relationships! "They were together and then they broke up" and "don't even mention it" are also fine. Infidelity is also fine in most circumstances, I'm cool with reading about requested characters doing morally dubious things - as long as the cheated-on party doesn't get written wildly out of character to "justify" it. This is particularly the case in ASOIAF, where almost all the marriages we see involve at least some level of power imbalance and/or coercion - I'm really happy for the primary romantic pairing(s) of a fic to occur on the side of a formal marriage, with the consent of the other spouse or not.
General DNWs:
-Modern/mundane and genre-shift AUs - basically anything that takes the requested characters/pairings out of their canon setting. Fusions (eg a daemon AU or Fallen London AU) that keep the canon setting more-or-less the same are fine though.
-Soulmates, soulmarks, hanahaki disease, etc
-Lengthy descriptions of violence/horror/noncon/major character death
-Non-canon character death of requested characters (and if a requested character's canon character death is averted, please don't then kill them off in a different way!)
-M/f D/s (femdom is great, I’m just not into femsub)
-Unrequested kinks
-Explicit underage (I'm fine with older teenagers (15+) having sex with adults or each other, or with mentions of underage, I just don't want explicit adult/child sex).
Fandom-specific DNWs:
-Tyrion Lannister - I'm okay with brief mentions, or him showing up as a kid or in an AU version of himself, but not canon, ADWD-era Tyrion as a central character.
-Ned/Ashara (I like both of them individually or as friends, just not as a romance)
-Romantic Rhaegar/Lyanna (mentioning it happened is fine, keeping them as married for plot reasons is fine, a complicated/messed up ongoing relationship is fine, I'm just not interested in the shippy romantic version of this pairing.)
-Aang/Katara – mentions are fine, or a past relationship where they break up before/at the start of the story. I love both of them a lot, though, so if you do write something post-breakup please don’t bash either of them!
Just as a side note, I've received wonderful fic for some of these characters/pairings before, but I am a greedy person who always wants more haha. Please don't take these requests as any kind of comment on fic I've received in the past!
