flowerparrishFirst things first: I really enjoy things that people are super excited about making, so if you really like something that feels even kinda aligned with my general likes (and doesn't hit any of my DNWs), please go for what makes you excited! I really do want anyone who makes things for me to have fun and enjoy the process first and foremost, and as a bonus I think it's extra fun to listen to things that people enjoyed making.
Some general likes in any fandom:
THEMES: trans main characters, particularly characters who use neopronouns; gender exploration / identity exploration; angst with a happy ending; found family (including genfic); explicit consent in nsfw works; polyamory & qpp rleationships
TROPES: FIX-IT FIC; fake dating / didn't know they were dating / fake not-dating / stealth dating; there was only one bed, mutual pining, soulmates; crack treated seriously
AU fics loved; canon divergence all the way to modern / no powers or specifically themed aus. Crossover style aus (x characters in y universe) are so fun, but if I haven't created for the source material, I'd prefer that the fic be understandable w/o knowledge of the "y universe" context.
Crossovers/Fusions are great, especially if they're fandoms I have listed here or fandoms I have created in extensively!
In Podfic: texting fics; any degree of music or sfx that brings you joy to include (they're not mandatory but I enjoy podfics with them, so if you enjoy making podfics with them, please follow your heart!!)
Rating: I don't mind sexually explicit fics, but I do strongly prefer either 1) porn with strong focus on the feelings & intimacy, or 2) a lot of plot / relationship / other content, plus porn. Just PWP for the sake of it isn't as strongly appealing to me (unless it's trans. Because then I will bring my own gender feelings to it and you're golden.)
Honorable Mention: I enjoy angst and am often fine with unhappy endings. That said, I do prefer in scenarios like that to know going in, so I'm less of a "choose not to warn" kind of person.
Things I Do Not Want:
- Noncon (dubcon can be hit or miss, but there's wiggle room)
- "on screen" childbirth and/or graphic discussion of pregnancy (mentioned or minor in the story is fine)
- psychiatric institutionalization as a story element (mention of past history with this is fine; focus on the effect of this, even after, less so)
- relationships with unaddressed & starkly unequal power dynamics that lead to dubious consent scenarios
- explicit/graphic self-harm or suicide (mentions are fine)
- poorly handled mental health tropes (ex: anything featuring "split personality" for horror reasons or using personality disorders or psychosis to indicate 'evilness' in a character. I absolutely love some good explorations of PTSD / trauma / mental health, but very little will piss me off as much as poorly handled mental illness--especially when it exacerbates the stigma around certain illnesses & disorders irl)

ATLA: gen preferred, Sokka/Zuko also enjoyed, Toph or Sokka or Zuko or Iroh centered enjoyed, canon divergent AUs beloved. Prefer no Zuko/Katara.
Star Trek AOS: Spock/Kirk or Spock/Kirk/Bones, Gen/crew centered fic also loved
Batfam: Tim or Jason centered preferred; Tim/Jason fine, Gen is also great. Tim/Kon(/Bernard), Jason/Roy or Jason/Roy/Kori also loved
DC/Marvel Crossovers: Jason/Bucky/Clint, Clint Barton/Roy Harper
All for the Game: It's back, my beloved. I am Jerejean for life, but especially in the wake of The Sunshine Court. Jean Moreau is my #1 blorbo for these books, followed closely by Neil Josten. Jean&/Neil is my favorite relationship dynamic; I am additionally an absolute sucker for Raven!Neil AUs. I unapologetically love Kevin Day and explorations of his character. Kevin/Jeremy/Jean, Kevin/Jean, Kevin/Andrew/Neil, and honesty even Kevin/Allison in some cases--I love all of these ships. I hate the Moriyama family passionately and will not consume any content that presents them in a positive light. I will consume content that grapples with Kevin's and Jean's history with this family and their complex abuse survivor feelings regarding the Moriyamas, but if the story ends with them grappling with that and deciding anything the Moriyamas did was okay, I will hate it.
- Note for this fandom specifically: there's a lot of canon noncon in the pasts of many central characters. This is one of the fandoms where I am to some degree always prepared for mentions of this, and am therefore less triggered by grappling with the trauma of noncon wrt the characters so long as it is in the past / not explicitly remembered/relived. Talking about trauma in the aftermath? This is fine for me to consume. Having a vivid flashback? I cannot handle this without warning, and often still choose not to at all.
Other Fandoms I Enjoy:
- Ted Lasso: Roy/Jamie/Kellie
- The Old Guard: Nile or Quynh or Andy centered preferred

Other Last Notes!
In my bookmarks, I tag a lot of things I really like as "favorite." Additionally, I tag things I liked enough to maybe pod at some point "to pod" if the author has blanket permission, and "want to pod" if the author does not. I also tag things that get recommended to me that look really interesting as "to read" and often forget to go back to these and read them, so those are absolutely fair game.
Please feel free to pod anything of mine that I have written!
Repods (of things I have podded or things that have already been podded by someone else, and even of things that have been podded and gifted to me already) are welcome and loved.
Feel free to use anything you make for me for a bingo fill or other prompt type deal.
