3 Slash Pairings Snape/Lucius, Snape/Harry, Snape/Neville (those two pairings have to be post-war); threesomes are okay
Themes or Scenarios? Time Period? Reconciliation, discovery of the other's true nature/affiliation/interests (grown-up competent Neville, yay! got-some-sense Harry is good too). If post-war, you can take the epilogue into account or ignore it, your choice.
3 Het Pairings Snape/Hermione, Snape/Luna, Snape/Narcissa
Themes or Scenarios? Time Period? Has to be post-war for Hermione and Luna. The classic befriending the outcast (only, who's the outcast?). Or the man with experience of grief and loss and pain, and living through and past it, somehow helping the woman who's (relatively) new to it (and he needs to have a motive to want to do so...). You can take the epilogue into account or ignore it, your choice.
3 Gen themes or scenarios? DH period, headmaster Snape, an unexpected ally: any of the characters listed above, or surprise me.
Reading Kinks or Preferred Elements Snape is alive (though a fully-present, articulate ghost or portrait would be quite acceptable in gen). I like plot, canon-faithful characterisation, happy or at least hopeful ending (some angst is okay), relationship fic rather than PWP (I'm interested in the interaction of characters, not so much the sex, though that's enjoyable), developments in the post-war wizarding world, interesting magics, a long story that has room to get past all Snape's wounds and hang-ups (or to explore them if you want to do that). Don't feel you have to provide all of these! They're just my preferences.
Squicks Unnecessary/non-consensual violence – see also writing squicks; would prefer not to see Auror!Harry (or a perfect Harry either), dislike mad, sadistic bastard Lucius – that's definitely not canon now. I don't want non-con (though dub-con, seduction and mind-games are okay), sexual violence (though moderate consensual BDSM or D/s is okay, with your choice of dom – no hang-ups here about top or bottom Snape, I just want it made to seem reasonable), humiliation, dirty talk, smoking or other Muggle drugs, and don't ask me for songfic or allusions to/crossover with TV etc (probably never heard/seen it).
Writing Kinks or Preferred ElementsI like to write plot, happy or at least hopeful ending (I can usually include some angst if it's wanted), character interaction, fairly canon-faithful (except, Snape's alive, okay?).
I think I do well plot, character development.
Writing Squicks Fluff. PWP. I can't handle really complicated plots, so don't ask for a detective story-type thing! See also reading squicks, but I'm willing to write darker than I prefer to receive. However, I'm unlikely to have a miserable ending or failed relationship.
Characters/Pairings/Time periods you refuse to write or draw Marauders period (and characters), school-age sex (I'm Australian, under-18 is illegal). Ron. Lessee, in pairings, no Hagrid, Dumbledore, house-elves, Voldemort, Sirius, Peter, Karkaroff, either Crouch, Fudge, Umbridge; Hogwarts professors, except Snape; Fenrir Greyback, Slughorn, Grawp, Moody, Filch, Lockhart, Weasleys younger than Charlie (not the parents, either), Dursleys, minor name-only or near name-only characters, Hufflepuffs.
Questions about my request Get the mod to ask me
Willing to pinch hit? No. It would probably be fatal, and not just to the fic.
