Here's what I want to know about your FIC preferences:
* Your pairing of choice
* Your surefire, bulletproof kinks
* Your most surprising, dirty little secret kinks
* Who tops/bottoms
* Squicks
* Cliches/tropes common in your fandom that just don't do it for you
* Your ultimate/ideal fic
Stargate Atlantis/Stargate SG-1
Pairing of choice: John Sheppard/Cameron Mitchell. (I also love John/Ronon, but I'll stick with one pairing for the purposes of this meme.)
Bulletproof kinks: John and Cam make a relationship work despite the logistical barriers and emotional obstacles. UST or past relationship with pining that ends happily. Shared love of flying. Mutual respect/understanding as fellow AF officers. Domesticity and kidfic. Sports as metaphor.
Surprising kinks: John rolls over for Cam whenever, wherever--mostly it's John's way of expressing love and trust, though he'd need a therapist to deconstruct his behaviour to get that. Cam has an aggressive streak that wars with his deeply chivalrous/romantic core.
Topping/bottoming: John bottoms. Or at least Cam isn't the one being penetrated. (Blowjobs are another thing.) There's not enough John/Cam fic for me to be too picky, though, and I'll read anything with those two.
Squicks: Food combined with sex. Mpreg. Hardcore BDSM. But like I said, there's not enough fic to be picky.
Cliches or tropes that don't do it for me: When John uses Cam as a substitute, or Cam is basically the James Marsden character. I've only seen one or two fics like that, but they drive me nuts. They're not John/Cam fic for real.
My ideal fic: John and Cam have pre-series friendship or past relationship. They're reunited when they join the Stargate Program and start/re-kindle a romance during "The Return", or in SGA Season 5, when John sees his friends paired off. In Season 5, John finds himself depressed, wanting more; he looks around and realises Cam has been there the whole time, the guy he's always wanted but didn't think he could have. For Cam, John is a surprise, but once he recognises how good they are together, he refuses to give John up. The fic is epic, abounding with Sheppards and Mitchells, full of team-love, domesticity, and kids.
Numb3rs
Pairing of choice: David Sinclair/Colby Granger.
Bulletproof kinks: Banter, snark, trust, partnership, sweetness, sexual tension that gets resolved.
Surprising kinks: Heavy-duty make-out sessions. Getting so turned on that pants become uncomfortable. Tender sex.
Topping/bottoming: No particular preference.
Squicks: Food combined with sex. Hardcore BDSM. Bad writing that fetishes David's skin colour.
Cliches or tropes that don't do it for me: There's not enough fic for me to have run into a cliche or trope that didn't do it for me.
My ideal fic: Something that seamlessly fits into canon, or at least takes it into account until that point. David and Colby are already so very married in canon, it's not difficult to take it that tiny step further.
