Omgyay, a Yuletide fairy! And lol, I love these questions :)

1) I have a bit of an embarrassment/humiliation squick, so I probably wouldn't find that so much funny as awkward. Verbal wittiness (snark, dry humour etc) is probably my favourite kind of comedy, I think, but I'm pretty sure I'd like most other kinds of humour too (all the ones I can think of, at least!).

2) a: My entire knowledge of baking is mix ingredients, heat in some way, cross fingers and hope for the best. You could pretty much make up anything you wanted and I'd assume you knew what you were talking about. b: Uhh, I watch police procedurals on tv? I'm fairly well-versed in genetics if you're thinking about going the CSI route, but apart from that I don't know anything beyond how it works on tv. c: I read and watch science fiction, and I did high school physics. So, not terribly familiar. Basically, for any of these options, if it sounds like it makes sense I'm probably not going to question it too deeply :)

3) I'm totally cool with stuff like that. I love seeing how people come up with scenarios that still fit with the characters we know and love, but now they're in space/at Hogwarts/baristas in a coffee shop. As long as the characters are still themselves, it's all good. And I find what-if AUs fascinating and wish I was actually capable of writing them. So basically, um, yes please!

4) Most of them, yes. I'd rather avoid mpreg completely, and I'd prefer there not to be incest involving major characters, but minor characters/OCs are fine as long as it reflects the idea that most people would probably not react well to it. Infidelity is okay as long as it isn't "it's okay to cheat on my partner because the person I'm cheating with is my ~true love~" or anything like that (and I'm not that keen on my favourite characters being cheaters, because they're my ~favourites~, but if it's in a situation where it's in character for them then I can deal). Apart from that, go for it.

Lol, I may have gotten a bit tl;dr there. If you have more questions or I haven't answered these ones well enough, feel free to ask.

And thank you so much for this! Whether or not you or anyone else ends up writing me a treat, it's lovely to know that someone likes my prompts <3
