Because I have once again signed up for too many fests ... and many of those sign-ups were done while I was sleep-deprived, overly caffeinated, tipsy, or otherwise impaired, here is a masterlist of what I like and dislike ... just in case anyone should come over here, trying to stalk me and figure out what I like.

Let me make it clear that I really am very easy - I love a well-written story. I love a story that shines with the love of the characters and universe that we play with. I love the fact that people are willing to put time and effort into writing for me ... really, it's so amazing. I will love what you write for me, I really will ... this list is just a list, and I know that I've found such lists helpful in the past when I was writing for people. If it's not helpful, or if it's intimidating because it's so long - no worries, okay? I certainly don't think that anyone could fit half of this into one fic, and if there's one thing on it or in my sign-up info that makes it into the fic, I'll be thrilled with it.

Kinks: Plot, especially character-driven plot, realism, relationship angst (infidelity, jealousy, possessiveness, break-ups/unrequited love, forced bonding, misunderstandings), stories told backwards, time travel (especially if it is to an unusual time), cross-dressing, light bondage, UST, AU, hurt/comfort, tenderness, first time, wall!sex, flirtation, courtship/seduction, exploring the limits of unconditional love, obsessive love, mental instability, post-Hogwarts, post-war, unusual locations, unusual post-Hogwarts careers, dystopia, redemption, realistic happy endings, hopeful endings, ambiguous endings, flipped clichés, Slytherin plots and motives, public or semi-public sex, food smut, voyeurism, polyjuice, sex toys, threesomes

I love AU stories, but I'm also coming to accept DH and stories that incorporate new canon – however, I have to insist that either Snape is not dead or has been brought back to life in some way, and that if Harry marries Ginny and has children with her, that he only did so because he thought his Half-Blood Prince was dead. As soon as he realizes that Snape is still alive, he's totally leaving her and going to his Severus.
