This is a list of my preferences in fanworks by others, in things I would like to receive, some more negative opinions, and, broadly, what I like to read the most. However, despite my preferences I am still pretty inclined to read anything.<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m mostly fic-focused, I&#8217;ve listed at the top here other types of fanworks I greatly enjoy perceiving or receiving. Spoiler: it&#8217;s all fanart based.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Favorite mediums:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Fanfiction<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Fanart, comics, animations<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Fanart for my fanfiction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><strong>Tropes I like<\/strong> &#8211; a lot of this mostly applies to shippy fanfiction, though I do like gen:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Unexpected transformations, particularly into a child or into an animal, where characters have to take care of them and in doing so, become more honest about their feelings towards their love interest, who may or may not be said transformed being. (If not, the, of course, the transformed being helps them get close\/admit their feelings for each other.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">General animal care and child-care.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Canon play or exploration; post-canon; pre-canon; a lot of the times I\u2019m into a fandom because I like and respect the canon a lot, and I like to see ways other writers do the same through their fic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Post-canon fix-it, canon divergence, unexpected pre-canon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Worldbuilding, mystery, larger than life elements of the story even if it takes place in \u201cour\u201d world. Basically, making the setting feel both grounded and expansive.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Roleswap\/mirrorverse, as in, the positions of at least the main characters are switched in terms of narrative position but not necessarily personality.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Casual domesticity between two people who don\u2019t realize how incredibly obvious and domestic it is (or they do but still don\u2019t think the other would reciprocate, for some reason)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Character who knows his queerness x character who discovers his queerness through the other but desperately doesn\u2019t want to be \u201chomophobic\u201d beforehand<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Mutual pining, pining while fucking, obliviously <\/span><span class=\"s4\">seeming<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> one-sided pining. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Secret very long-term pining that is thought to never amount to anything, except after some time the love interest is incredibly into them. Both of them think the other could never like them back, and the long-term piner continues to try to get over them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Enemies to lovers, enemies to friends to lovers, enemies to enemies with benefits to friend with benefits to lovers, whatever. Characters who see each other at their worst from the beginning and dislike each other for it and have to grow to learn to like each other as well. Sometimes with sex involved.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Best friends to enemies to [whatever else] to lovers <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Hurt\/comfort, hospitalfic, we\u2019re stuck in this situation together and have to depend on each other.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Secret\/forbidden relationships, fake relationships, arranged relationships, always with sex involved and complicating things further.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Mpreg in a domestic and\/or needing to be responsible way. Teenage pregnancy, knowing\/not knowing if a kid is his and being involved, as a vehicle for other types of relationship play (see above).<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Class difference; down on their luck x luckily privileged; coming from different material worlds of poverty and comfort.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Satire, parody, comedy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Vampires, werewolves, some sort of non-human animalistic element that tests the not-quite-human\u2019s control while their love interest also animalistically wants them to lose control.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Plot\/mystery\/heists with romance on the side<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Fairy tales<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Pianos<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Genderswap-to-femslash with main pairing, other characters\u2019 genders are dealer\u2019s choice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Oh shit it\u2019s you again and you got hot<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Fist fights, throwing a punch, men taking out their own strong emotions about each other in a physically violent way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Matchmaking, falling in love seemingly under an influence, usually in a light-hearted way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Comedy of errors, hidden identity, indirect communication through notes\/the internet, secret admirer\/gift giving.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Sports\/competition as a main plot driver, competitive relationships as a metaphor or vehicle for romance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Silly, tropey, cliche situations played straight where characters still act in a realistic human way despite the ridiculous situations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Crossovers, crossover fusion, world-based crossovers, story-\/character-based crossovers either for comedy or played straight. Whacky crossovers taken seriously. Crossover fusions that can be integrated with canon (e.g. LOST AU, pacific rim au&#8230;)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Canon AU, as in an AU that is relevant or technically \u201ccanon\u201d within the canon, e.g. a band\u2019s music video, attempt #218 in the Good Place, Future Fish for Free, Haikyuu Quest<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">School, academia, high school, university; basically some sort of expected structured lifestyle for young people under the guise of education when most of the time they\u2019re thinking about their social lives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Amnesia, time travel, parallel universes, mystery. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Selfcest<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Cracky (or not) fandom AU<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">In m\/m fic where a member of the ship canonically has a girlfriend, said girlfriend is made to be a lesbian in the fic<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n<details>\n<summary><strong><span class=\"s2\">Sex things I like<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/summary>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Virginity \/ secret virgin. Doesn\u2019t have to be both of them, it just adds a little oomph to the sexual part of the relationship in the fic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Omegaverse, heat\/mating cycles, knotting, breeding kink, mpreg<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Getting turned on by fear (see vampire\/werewolf mention from earlier), violence as a prelude to sex, uncontainable animalistic lust.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Sex pollen \/ dubcon situations (not necessarily inflicted by a relevant character)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Guilt-driven sex, secrecy-ridden sex. Infidelity-based sex, where my ship is not cheating on each other, but rather different partners with each other.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Power exploration \/ trust testing<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Begging<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s2\">Barebacking\/creampies I want condoms to have narrative purpose ONLY!!!!!!!
