Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I’ve grown to like happy endings, but I’m most attached to emotional satisfaction: if I can invest in the comings and goings and feel with the characters and the plot as it unfolds, I’m usually pretty satisfied. I adore the utter cliche of near-death experiences spurring the realization of deep emotional attachments. I think convincing and moving portrayals of non-sexual intimacy (within or outside of sexual situations) are fantastic. Reunions are lovely, when they’re earned. Meeting-the-family never fails to beget enjoyment, I find. Cerebral styles and plots are totally up my alley. I like poeticism, and the poeticization of just about anything. I’m flexible about how the characters are portrayed: I like the canon, and I like it when people take the canon and run in their own directions with it, so long as the development and/or the justification is clear enough to cogitate. I love the flexibility and imagination that’s unleashed with plots that lean toward magical realism. I prefer romance in my pairings. I don’t mind porn, in fact, I quite enjoy it, but I’d prefer more plot/character development/etc., if I have a choice. I’m not generally “into” specific kinks, usually, but as with my writing, so with yours: if it’s interesting, and it fits the characterization put forth and it makes for complexities and development and whatnot, I’m fairly open-minded. That said, unless your heart’s set on it (because who am I to argue if you’re committed to an idea?), I’d prefer not to have: non/dub-con, mpreg, omega-verse, super-cracky crack, scat/watersports, spanking, genderswap, characters as anthropomorphic manifestations of animals, non-consensual humiliation/non-consensual BDSM (I prefer to see everyone enjoying themselves and the fulfillment of their kinks accordingly, basically).

Mostly, even after all that: I believe that if a author’s enjoying the writing, the readers more likely to enjoy the reading. Have fun.
