Dear Creator,
wow, first of all, thank you in advance for being great!
Second of all, these are the fandoms I'm super into receiving things for, in alphabetical order. The ones I want MOST are underlined, but I'm honestly going to be thrilled with any of these options. There's a list of non-(pod)fic/art things I enjoy receiving at the end.
Cabin Pressure: There's barely any podfic for this fandom, and next to none for my OTP, I believe. There's also not enough fic for my OTP in this fandom in general. I ship Martin/Douglas a lot, but I'll also take gen fic for this fandom. If it’s gen fic, it should hit the tone of the radio play. If it’s OTP fic, Martin!whump with savior!Douglas is a favourite of mine, as cliched as it is.
tl;dr - OTP: Martin/Douglas
- Gen Fic
Fullmetal Alchemist: Roy/Ed is the pairing I'm here for. I'm okay with Ed being 15/16 in fics when they get together, but if you prefer him to be older before he gets with Roy, that's fine with me. Anything Roy/Ed tierfal has ever written is perfect, so if you wanna pick one of those to podfic, that'd make my day. But you're honestly free to pick whatever you like, if you go for this ship. I don't even care which canon you want. '03/CoS, Manga/BH is all fine with me, as is canon AU and post canon AU. I don't like incest pairings in this fandom, but I'm fine with other established, past or background pairings as long as Roy/Ed is endgame.
tl;dr- Roy/Ed
- any canon
- any AU
- no incest-ships
- any other background/temporary pairings
Hockey RPF: Idc if it's Hockey AU or an AU where they have completely different careers. I'm more interested in their dynamic. If you have a hockey OTP that doesn't involve Tuukka Rask, Patrick Kane, or anyone else of questionable morality (more so than the average NHLer), I'll be interested in getting something for that, just to dip my toes into new territory. Pairings I've read so far (and enjoyed): Pens rarepairs (Give me more Hags/Rusty! Give me more Sid/Cully!), but I also enjoy other Pens pairings except (!) SidGeno (I'm just over it). Brioux or any Nolan Patrick-pairing are also good now. (I cannot believe I'm including Flyers in this.) Sid/Giroux and Sid/Nate are also absolute favourites. Nicke/Ovi is okay (if there's angst), but Jordie Benn/Tyler Seguin is better!!! On the Leafs I've become partial to any Willy pairings, but especially Willy/Zach, and also anyone-but-Auston/Mitch, but I'll also read other Leafs fic. For the Avs I've read some Gabe/Tyson, as well as Cale/Gravy, EJ/Nate and EJ/Gabe. Honestly, if you ship something that you want me to check out, find me a fic that hits a lot of my likes (see list below) and I'll probably end up shipping it before long.
tl;dr- Pens rare pairs
- Beau Bennett/happiness
- but esp. Beau Bennett/Paul Martin
- or Beau/Sid, Beau/Nealsy, Beau/Bortz, Beau/anyone
- Tyler Seguin-ships
- esp. Tyler/Jordie & Tyler/Radulov
- Nicke/Ovi
- Sid/Ovi
- Willy-ships
- esp. Willy/Zach and Willy/Kyle
- Willy/Auston/Mitch, Mitch/Freddie, Mitch/Anyone-except-Auston
- Brioux
- Giroux/Sid
- Nolan Patrick-ships
- Kane/Toews
- Gabe/Tyson, EJ-fics, as well as other Avs
- NO Tuukka Rask (in ships, I'm okay with him as side-characters)
- any ship you like except SidGeno or Jamie/Tyler
Leverage (Redemption): Hello, yes, this fandom is back! If you have Eliot/Sophie (pod)fic, I will absolutely devour it. It can feature Eliot in a poly-triangle with Hardison and Parker (ongoing or past) but I don't want Nate in there if it's set during og Leverage era (past Sophie/Nate is of course fine in all options).
tl;drOriginal Works: If it's a story that'll interest me based on my likes (see below) or based on anything you know about me from my fannish preferences, go for it. I'm not really into straight romances, or femslash, so that just as a heads up.
tl;dr- m/m pairings
- has to fit my other likes
Psych: I'm Shassie trash. Shawn/Lassiter is my OTP and unless it's fic about them, I'm not really interested, sorry. However, I'm fine with both Canon AUs and Post!Canon AUs, or even completely different AUs according to my AU preferences listed below.
tl;dr- Carlton/Shawn
- nothing else
Rivers of London: Peter Grant/Thomas Nightingale, no other pairings. (I can live with Peter/Thomas/Beverly but it's not my preference). Gen fic can work, but I’m more into the ships when reading fanfic, because the entire book series is gen, with a couple of interruptions when Peter actually gets laid. All AU types in the “Like” section below are fine! With regards to the latest book release (Lies Sleeping and beyond*), please make sure to heed the "don't like" section partaining to relationship developments from the end of that book.
* I STILL haven't read "False Value" yet so please don't spoil me. (yes, this is me saying this in Oct 2020)
tl;drSailor Moon: Usagi/Seiya or Usagi/Seiya/Mamoru is A+. I prefer Seiya in male form, tbh. Canon or post!Canon welcome. Please no cheating fics.
tl;dr- Usagi/Seiya
- Usagi/Seiya/Mamoru
- cis male-looking!Seiya only
~~
Here's a list of things I like a LOT in fics:
- AUs -- with ties to canon, with few ties to canon, with no ties to canon, they're all good (except where otherwise indicated), as are all the AUs where they have completely different professions/roles (You know, coffeeshop, teachers, etc.)
- magical realism
- soulmate (ESPECIALLY WITH SOULMATE IDENTIFYING MARKS!!!)
- angst, pining, hurt/comfort -- as long as they have happy endings. The characters can go through as much whump as anyone wants to put them through. I just need character B to be there to comfort/help, and a happy ending.
- enemies to lovers/friends to lovers
- arranged marriage
- Fake relationships
- getting back together jealousy (in a non-abusive or manipulative way)
- (Large) Age gaps
- Omegaverse (but no subversion via omega/omega or alpha/alpha. I like this somewhat traditional.)
- UST (as long as it gets resolved)
- Dirty Talk
- Teacher/Student (Student must be at least 15 when they get together! No power dynamics that are ickier than the one inherent with this trope, so no manipulation, etc.)
- Sex Work AU (Can be a classic Pretty Woman scenario, or something new. No shaming the sex worker for doing sex work. Sex work is a legit profession, I like it seeing treated as such.)
- Mistaken/secret identity (characters know each other but don't know they're texting/emailing/whatever the other one, OR character A assumes character B is someone who they're not and B goes with it [or doesn't realise])
- Amnesia (only if there's a happy ending and pairing gets (back) together and/or character with amnesia remembers.)
- Age differences (I'm okay with largeish age gaps (10+ years) and the younger character being as young 15/16)
Here's a list of things I dislike in fics that aren’t hard limits:
- Fusions and crossovers – yes, can totally work for me. (I write a lot of them myself, so.) I'm not so much a fan of Hogwarts AUs (unless it's HP fic....) or straight up combining two of my fandoms. That needs specific circumstances for me to work, and if I were you, I'd rather not risk it, unless you know with absolute certainty that I will love it. (Or if you're lunchee and want an excuse to record the next installment in that Marvel/Cabin Pressure fusion AU with Martin/Tony...)
- While I support all the ace identities and wish them loads more representation, I'm not really interested in ace fic for myself. Demi!characters are okay with me (seeing how I read some of my faves as Demi), but I’m too allo for my own good, unfortunately.
- Established relationship – I’m much more into watching them get together
- Domestic stuff is not really my jam. It can work in a roommate situation with mutual pining, but not as an established relationship because that's just not interesting to me, I'm afraid.
- A related not-like: Kid fic, as in: characters (in est. relationship) have a baby/child. It can work for me and has worked for me, but in general I'm really not big on kids. You're safer to just stay away from it.
- (casually) offensive language – like calling male characters “girl” to insult them, other sexist insults, cis-sexism, ableism, racism, etc. If it’s just this kind of casually offensive insult, I’ll be able to deal, but I’d prefer if you warned for it at the beginning of the recording in a short reader’s note. Alternatively, if another character calls offensive!character out for their behaviour. That’s definitely acceptable.
- (Mild) BDSM – I sometimes like it, but it requires a special mood and there’s no guarantee I’ll be in it at the time of posting.
- Sci-fi High
- School AUs, unless it’s the student/teacher dynamic as indicated above, or they’re both teachers.
- Fics with British canon that are unnecessarily Americanised. (If Harry and Draco are living in the US, there better be a reason. If they’re still in school/uni, author should’ve ideally made an attempt at researching Brit school systems.)
- Urban fantasy AUs (vampires, zombies, were[animal], witches, mutants) - have come to like some of them, but it's a toss up whether I'll like one or not.
- historical AUs
Here's a list of things I dislike in fics, and will most likely not be excited about, or at worst, not even touch with a ten foot pole:- Anything specifically excluded for a single fandom.
- Genderbending, cis swapping, etc. are off-limits due to personal reasons.
- femslash
- Heavy offensive themes (sexism, racism, ableism, etc) that aren’t resolved within the fic (i.e. "Character A behaves in an offensive manner, gets called out by Character B" is fine)
- Blood play, breath play, scat, watersports, bestiality, and similar heavy kinks
- Major Character Death (I can deal with temporary MCD, but if I were you, I’d better not risk it)
- Dystopia/Apocalypse fic/Science fiction
Some final notes: Any rating is fine, but I do prefer higher ratings usually. However, if you’re not comfortable with creating porny stuff, I don’t expect you to do it. Fade to black is fine. Kissing is crucial though. Tension’s got to be resolved somehow XD
Regarding non-virtual gifts:
I wouldn't even have thought of adding this but someone made me aware of the fact that, on rare occasions, people might want to send other people real life gifts, like baked goods, or crafts, etc. So, if you have my address, or meet me in RL and want to bring/send me a gift, here some pointers:
I'm lactose intolerant, and I'm allergic to anything with soy in it. I like biscuits and brownies, I adore pretty storage boxes, I collect picture books. I love receiving postcards and letters, and I'll honestly be happy about anything you got me because it made you think of me.
Please don't gift me anything Harry Potter related.
