Okay, it's no longer 11/11 as I promised. I suck. *sigh*
I really am not picky. I'll love whatever is written for me. I don't tend to come up with specific prompts as I want my writer to go with their muse, but the basics are below as well as some suggestions that you are completely free to ignore because optional details are optional.
I do list a few things I don't like at all and I'm sure you'll take those into account because you're awesome. Also, I love any rating, pretty much any genre, het, slash and gen, and dark stuff (even noncon) is AOK with me. If you want to see what I like to read, just check out what I write, either at AO3 (ladyoneill) or my website, www.meanderingmuse.com
But, again, write wherever your muse takes you!
First a few things I don't enjoy: second person, scat and watersports, incest, deathfic (unless specifically asked for or it's a canon character death), mpreg (except a few fandoms where I love it and write it obsessively ie Teen Wolf), babies/kids dying unless in canon or very minor characters, ABO dynamics, bashing characters (unless the characters do it in canon), all human AUs (which probably don't apply here), high school AUs, complete AUs where people are placed in different eras or different places or space, when, for example, the fandom is set in 2015 California, and, finally always a different gender characters. I prefer fics that are AU from canon but still have the canon characteristics (vampires are vampires for example) and the characters are the ages and genders they are on the show/in the book etc.
I'm not a huge fan of complete fluff but love happy endings. I love angst and dark stuff and kink other than the ones listed above that I don't like. I also love domestic stories, and character driven stories, and baby/kid fics. I'm a historian at heart (and degrees) so historical accuracy or at least along the lines of the fandom is greatly appreciated. Oh, and I don't mind infidelity; I know some people do. While I used to love first person, I find myself preferring third these days but like either present or past tense, and I love flashbacks. I also will get thrown out of a fic by the use language or grammar particular to a country that is not canon. I know this can be difficult, but fandoms I requested are set in America. I'm an American and when I write British fandoms, I try very hard to use the appropriate terminology. There are places online where you can find the American equivalent to English terms like sweater over jumper and mom over mum etc. On the other hand, I don't mind spelling differences, ie theatre over theater, colour over color, defence over defense.
Always remember please that gen fic is fine! As long as you write about at least one of the pairings I listed, I'll be thrilled.
Oh, also, if you want to throw in other characters from the fandom not listed or in the tagset as minor characters, feel free. There are none in any of the fandoms I've requested that I don't like.
For Teen Wolf, I tend to love the adults over the teens (except for Stiles and Lydia). I absolutely adore Peter, but prefer him not completely evil as per the show. I love BAMF!Sheriff. Strong Melissa. Chris with some compassion. Brilliant Lydia. Snarky Stiles. I have no problem with May-December relationships or Stiles and Lydia being underage. Mating fics make me very happy and I also like mpreg in this fandom, though I'd prefer no ABO as I'm picky about the ones I read. I love bottom Stiles but otherwise am not picky. Also, if you name the Sheriff John, I will love you forever.
For Buffy: This was my first fandom. I'm one of those weird shippers who loves both Buffy/Spike and Buffy/Angel (well, a somewhat sane Angelus is my fave). I also love Cordy/Angel, Faith/Angel and Faith/sSpike so any of the threesomes I requested I'll be happy with. Spike or Angel can be souled or not. Feel free to go dark. Really, check out my website and see the dark I used to write in this fandom! I'm fine with future fics though I'm not up-to-date on the comics.
For SPN: I'm a big fan of the angels. While I watched the show from day one, what really hooked me (and dragged me into the fandom) was season 4 and the biblical (somewhat) apocalypse. I love Gabriel and Cas is one of my favorite characters. While I can't really see Lucifer ever being a nice guy, if you can do it, please do! I'm also very much a Dean girl but like Sam, too. Anna was sadly underused so if you want to resurrect her, feel free! Angelcest is fine with me as are dark fics. I love strong angels and snarky Dean.
