Thank you for signing up to write a story for me! I'm always very excited at this time of year, because I love gift-giving and receiving.
Some of the things I enjoy most: happy endings, romance, humor and banter, ships (slash or het), gen, character studies, plotty fics with wonderful worldbuilding, fluff or drama, hijinx and shenanigans. I love first times and falling in love, people finding one another after being apart, friendships, and relationships between people who are equals. Friends to lovers might be my ultimate trope, and found families is right up there too. What I love about my fandoms is the canon universe they inhabit, so I'm not really into mundane AUs, however what-if AUs (canon-divergence) can be really cool--I love it when someone comes up with a story off of one element being changed!
Tropes and approaches I enjoy are hopeful or positive endings even if it's not necessarily a happy-ever-after, protectiveness (without posessiveness or jealousy), hurt/comfort, partners against the world, people who enjoy nurturing others through food or care. The classics are great: time travel/time loops, competence kinks, having to share a bed, huddling for warmth and/or stranded somewhere (blizzard! cave-in!), situations where one suffers or sacrifices for the other, rescues, everybody lives!, etc. Genre can be fun: someone discovers they have superpowers, or is trapped in a time loop, or finds themselves somewhere but they don't know how they got there. That kind of thing can be really fun while still being in the canon 'verse.
Things I Do Not Want: I would really appreciate not having BDSM/anything particularly sex kink-oriented, ABO/mpreg and that sort of thing (usually, if there are initials used for it, it's a safe bet I'm not into it), non-con of any type, emotional abuse,
any kind of animal harm (I have a fandom listed here where they might do animal experiments and I just would prefer that not be made explicit). I'm not into kidfic as a story focus, but some of my fandoms have characters with children, so having them interact with their kids is totally fine. I dislike jealousy, and related to that, love triangles, though open marriage/polyamory type situations can be fine if everyone involved is accepting. I've battled grief and depression for a while and dealt with cancer recently, so something that might make me more depressed or fic about illnesses or death would not be my first choice, but if that's the direction your story goes, I'm also not the kind of person who'd freak out about it. Please, no sportsball or characters spending a lot of time talking/thinking about it.
