Fandom-specifics in letter.
General likes: Angst, complicated feelings, stories that dive into a character and what motivates them, questions of loyalty and of how the past affects the present, 5+1s, canon divergence, missing scenes, parenthood (prefer if it’s about the emotional feels of the adult characters rather than cute kid things, worldbuilding in fantasy/sci-fi fandoms, and established relationships being complicated. Happy with any degree of smut from ‘none at all’ to ‘E-rated’.
General DNWs: AUs other than canon divergence; omegaverse; traumatic birth or pregnancy loss; noncon as a major plot element (dubcon is fine); m/f dynamics portrayed with a heavy emphasis on smaller/shyer/less experienced/submissive woman and bigger/stronger/dominant man; underage; watersports and scat. For pairings that go against canon relationships, I usually like the canon relationship too and would prefer canon partners not be bashed or existing marriages split up (although canon-divergence where they don't get together/one dies is fine) - happy with open relationships, happy with angst-ridden infidelity.
Things often DNWed that I like and would be happy to see included: Infidelity, preferably in the sense of overlapping pairings and feelings for multiple people (not if it’s infidelity to get one ship out of the way); first- and second-person POV; epistolary or other non-strictly-narrative formats; ambiguous endings; pregnancy; sibling incest, if angsty; poly ships and open relationships (happy or tragic).
