(Important Note: the giver is not required to take these additional preferences about setting, era, tone, etc. into account, but it might help them come up with ideas, so include as many ideas as you like): I like seeing Slytherins thrive despite adverse conditions, so I'd love a story outlining their lives and struggles, how they coped post-war etc. In addition, I adore Severus Snape and would be willing to see him paired with just about anyone, even though Severus with Harry is my OTP (clearly that would have to be a background pairing if included in any way - which I would love. Background Snarry FTW!). Other characters I'm especially fond of include: Kingsley, Charlie, Bill, Hermione, Teddy, Neville, George, Draco and Luna. I am not fond of the Marauders, unrepentant Death Eaters, or next gen. Elements I enjoy include: plotty adventures, seduction, sensuality, first times, courtship, dirty talk, have-to-have-you-now! snogging/sex, snarky Slytherins, loyal to each other Slytherins, snarky banter in general, UST, romance, unusual careers, tenderness, flirting, hand-holding, snogging, voyeurism/exhibitionism, semi-public sex, redemption, realistic happy endings, cross gen, secret crushes, forced/accidental bonding, matchmaking, unlikely friendships, unusual magic theory. For more insight into what I like I do have a reference post. And honestly, if you're passionate about what you create and avoid my squicks I'll prolly love what you come up with!
