brigdhHello, my Yuletide Santa!
Feel free to ignore this, if you prefer. Or feel free to pick a few details and ignore the rest. You are writing me a story, after all! I am quite fond of you already, and require no more.
But, if you would like more information, I have been inclined to meta about my tastes, over the years.
Here is a post about my top ten story kinks.
Here is a comment about my favorite 'cool bits' in stories.
And, for the excessive win, here is a post about my personal ideal of ships/OTPs.
If you'd like, my own writing is collected here.
A few general comments: I really admire any story that can do plot and/or humor well, because I personally am bad at those things. On the other hand, I also like character detail, poetic language, angst, or introspection, which is why I write them. I like dark themes and happy endings (though probably not in the same story). I like nuances (hmm, that is probably the worst request ever. I like it when authors complicate things?).
Here's a few of my dislikes: please no OOC, even for the sake of humor. I'm not terribly fond of lots of sap or schmoop. I don't like songfic? Man, dislikes are hard. In short, I will almost certainly have forgotten what I requested by December, and will be pleased with any story you write. Thank you in advance!
