disgruntled_owlYou might be visiting my blog if you've been assigned me as a recipient in an exchange. Here are some details on my general likes and dislikes.
Relationship Interests: I enjoy gen, het, slash, and femslash. Poly is less of a thing for me, but I am open to reading about it if you find it makes for a compelling story. I’m particularly intrigued by mentor and student relationships, romantic possibilities for older characters, sexual extortion, and power dynamics and imbalances.
Other Likes: Gothic tales, noir, intrigue, atmosphere, vampires, ghosts, period settings, spooky monsters, ruins, fairy tale motifs, nature (forests, deserts, oceans, shores, and swamps), villains and their motives and psychological characteristics.
Do-Not-Wants: cannibalism (vampires drinking blood is okay), bestiality, zombies, mpreg, gratuitous graphic violence, scat/watersports, tentacle porn, underage, body horror, animal or child abuse.
Gray Areas: I’d prefer not to read stories about infidelity or very explicit rape/non-con. Given my relationship interests, dub-con is okay. I understand this territory is murky, so don’t worry too much about crossing a line. I’m primarily trying to avoid really extreme or violent situations.
Story Characteristics: I’m good with missing scenes and canon divergence, but I like to stay in the world of the story, so I’d prefer the story not be set in a dramatically different AU (coffee shop, high school, etc.). I'm also not into reader inserts or stories written in the second person. Also, I read a lot of fiction with dark themes, in large part because it's what I like to write. However, I enjoy receiving light and fluffy stories, too, not least because that style is a bit outside my repertoire. So, if you feel inspired to write something happy or silly, go for it!
