badjujubooFor future reference of all things Fic/Art I love and things I will adore (virtually because of me being in a few fests, if you're writing/creating for me its probably best to have SOME sort of idea right?) -
FIC -
Kinks, genres or special requests: angst/flangst - I like to FEEL how they got to where they are, especially the heart ache/ust that leads them where they need to go. Proper HEA is not a necessity (eg they all lived happily ever after together forever riding on unicorns over rainbows), doesn't matter to me which one tops or bottoms, I do like a vulnerable Draco, dark!fics and death!fics are fine (i'm twisted in that I love being emotionally wrung out by fic)
Squicks/Things you'd hate: too feminine Draco, scat, hardcore BDSM, ginny/astoria bashing, golden showers, any bodily fluids not usually found in sex, rape/incest/non-con/dub-con,Threesomes, Nicknames (babe, baby, hun with the exception being if its used sarcastically or VERY rarely). Overly American dialogue. Americanisms and general non-British speech/behavior. Previous relationships (hinted at or occuring) with Professors/old Order members), not very into cross dressing fics.
Common H/D Cliches you DO enjoy: over use of 'Potter/Malfoy', fights leading into sex, veela!draco, dark fic, Kick arse!pansy, other slytherin characters featuring with Gryffindors (Nev/Pansy, Blaise/Ginny)
Common H/D Cliches you DO NOT enjoy: fluff, rom-com, creature!fic, Hermione fixing everything, slutty!Blaise/Pansy, any more than friendly relationships between snape/draco
Era/Epilogue/Next Gen preferences: preferably post hogwarts, AU War, early 20's, mid 30's w/chn if epilogue compliant. I loooove Next Gen so if that's in there I'll be happy. I like breakup/makeup fic - previous relationship and them finding a way back together, secret relationships. I don't particularly enjoy Ginny or Astoria bashing or them being righteous bitches either. People can be friends or even just break up because they arent in love or it never really worked in the first place. I'm not a huge fan of albusSev/scorpius being together with their father's at the same time. BUT in saying that if they end up together or are great friends I'm fine with that. When it comes to nextgen pairings, everything is on the table.
ART -
Kinks, genres or special requests: love watercolours, black & whites, things that look natural
Squicks/Things you'd hate: SAF, nothing too cartoony/anime, manips ugh, nooo
Common H/D Cliches you DO enjoy: SAF, scarves, House Colours, DarkMark!kink
Common H/D Cliches you DO NOT enjoy: AUish characters eg pirate!draco (though there IS a steampunk!draco/harry around somewhere - I cant find the link - that was BRILLIANT)
Era/Epilogue/Next Gen preferences: None
MORE INFO
Preferred Pairings: (** = preffered pairings but I do like seeing secondary characters paired up unusually aka blaise/milly, ginny/greg goyle)
Slash – Harry/Draco**, Draco/Charlie** (its the dragon thing), Draco/Neville**, Draco/Blaise, Draco/Ron (yes even him if done well), Harry/Charlie**, Draco/Albus, AlbusSev/Scorpius**, AlbusSev/Teddy, Teddy/James**, Teddy/Scorpius, Teddy/James/Scorpius, James/Scorpius, Harry/Scorpius
Het - Hermione/Draco**, Hermione/Neville, Hermione/Blaise, Hermione/Theo, Hermione/Charlie**, Hermione/Harry**, Harry/Luna, Harry/Pansy, Ron/Hermione, Ron/Pansy, Draco/Pansy
Characters (Gen) – Anyone really, the more diverse the better. I especially love Hermione surrounding herself with ex-slytherins
Dislikes: Harry/Ginny, Snape/Harry (I have read it but its really not for me), Fred and George Twin!cest, Fenrir/anyone, Marauders era (not that I've read it but.. i just dont see me enjoying this),
Kinks: Humor, snark, banter, plot - especially character-driven plot, any form of relationship angst (jealousy, possessiveness, temporary break-ups, forced bonding, misunderstandings), light bondage (consensual only, please), UST, AU, Non-Magical (if done well both or one character), hurt/comfort, tenderness, first time, wall!sex, furniture!sex, flirtation, any sort of emotional scene with rain lol, courtship/seduction, post-Hogwarts, post-war, unusual locations, unusual post-Hogwarts careers, redemption, realistic happy endings, hopeful endings (HEA how your characters need it), public or semi-public sex, almost discovered sex, food smut, voyeurism, snogging, hand holding, secret crushes, characters who have friends/lives of their own.
Squicks: heavy BDSM, torture, watersports (unless its part of your D/s thing but not necessarily something I'll set out to read, scat, saccharine endings, crack!fic, non-con and dub-con,humiliation, Roman showers, munging (if you don't know, don't look it up, trust me - ugh), necrophilia.
Most of this is borrowed from the wonderful Alisanne and her similar post on insanejournal. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with me - i've read A LOT even the Mudhoney Trilogy (and if you know what they are you'll understand) so as long as what you're writing suits your story and your characters needs/interests I'm bound to love it. Basically, if you look at my favourite fic list HERE or the art I've fav'd HERE or HERE then if you see familiar names you'll get an idea of what I love to read and what I will most likely come back and read again and again.
