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 others, too, especially the Hogwarts staff and Ministry personnel -- just about any of the older characters. I'd rather not have Trio-era teens in the main pairing(s), even when grown-up, and I'm not keen on the Marauders. And please no Next-Gen as part of the featured pairing(s). Beyond the characters in my "receive" list, I like Snape, Aberforth, Kingsley, and all the older women except Molly, Bellatrix, and Trelawney. If Hooch appears, I prefer "Rolanda." In general, I like to see the older characters as older characters (i.e., not 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). I love stories that keep the basic facts of a canon scene, but then subvert it in some way, offering a different explanation for or 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. 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 and character vignettes (anything except PWP or 'surprise parentage'). It's characterization -- grown-up, IC characterization -- that matters most to me.
