Additional Likes and Dislikes Character: McGonagall is my OTC; give me a believable Minerva paired with anyone except Trelawney or teenagers or ghosts, and I'll be thrilled. But if you don't feel like writing Minerva, that's fine; I like many others, too, especially the Hogwarts staff and Ministry personnel. I love all the older women except Molly, Bellatrix, and Sybill. For the main pairing[s], I'm not very interested in Trio-era teens (even when grown up), the Marauders, next-gen characters, the Tonks or Weasley families (except Aunt Muriel), or most DEs (all these are fine as supporting characters, though). In general, I like to see the older characters as older characters (i.e., not as teens or 20-somethings except as background), but that preference is flexible.
Plot: I enjoy missing scenes, backstories, overheard conversations, characters observed by others (anything from casual eavesdropping to full sexual voyeurism), canon-compliance (although AU is fine as long as everyone is IC, and I don't mind if you find believable ways for canon-dead characters to survive. No need for elaborate explanations, though [unless that's what you want to write]). I love stories that keep the basic facts of a canon scene, but then subvert it in some way, offering a different understanding of it. I like power issues and struggles, hurt/comfort, political dimensions, inventive magic, glimpses of the every-day magical world, first-times as well as established relationships, cross-gen (though not with teenagers, and if het, I prefer the woman to be the older), angst, realistic bodies and sex, BDSM. Dark fic, dub-con, and (non-eroticized) non-con are fine, though I'm not keen on fics about DEs (or anyone) torturing and raping. Any era from First War to post-DH. Happy endings are not a must, although I certainly don't mind them. (Non-sappy) romance is fine. I'm easy when it comes to story: I'll like anything from plotty fics to mood pieces to character studies (just not PWP). It's characterization -- grown-up, IC characterization -- that matters most to me.
