First, thanks so much! I’m pretty catholic in my tastes, and I really appreciate finding stories in a rare fandom. As indicated by my fairly vague prompts, I focus most on character. I love plot, but I also love angst and hijinks. Other things I like: flawed heroes, the Gift of the Magi, getting the thing that you want the most except that it’s broken, banter, love strong enough to rock the world, trust, betrayal, power games, bodyswap, genderswap, sex pollen, consequences, telling the truth in a way that the hearer doesn’t believe it, characters who think they’re lying but aren’t, shaggy dog stories, love and blood and rhetoric, and so on. I do not mind unhappy endings; I love melodrama and characters who defy melodrama. Pretty much the only thing I don’t like: bashing female characters.

Someone gave me 12 months of LJ! Thanks, someone! Can I do something nice for you? SV porn, perhaps? (It's occurred to me that this may have happened a while ago, and the notification might be part of the apparent release of long-delayed comments also happening now, in which case I'm really sorry I didn't know before.)
I learned one very important thing from my most recent story: When in doubt, break furniture. Mostly my feedback is varied and singles out different parts of a story, but this time every single person who said anything specific liked the impromptu office redecoration.
