General
I will expound this later when I am less frustrated at LJ! But under PG-13 (unless R for darkness/themes) = awesome!
Also I love cheerful fics, and thoughtful fics, and bittersweet fics, and things with worldbuilding, and accuracy in research, and explorations of who characters are. (I also, somewhat contradictorily, like fics that never quite tell you the whole story, though it's clear the author knows it. See: Fire and Hemlock!)
I do not like sexism/homophobic-ness/other -isms/racism/ableism, though really only the last will totally destroy my ability to read the fic. I ask if you use any of them, you use it thoughtfully and in-character (for instance, Mitt is a misogynistic classist. It's canon). I can't stand if it's supported by the narrative, though.
I do not read porn; relatedly, in most instances I vastly prefer gen to shipfic. I do not mind romance, but it rarely seems to me to add to the story rather than become a story about romance? So if you want to write it, you can, but make sure it illumines who the characters are :).
Oh, and: my triggers are violence done to children, and men using their social power over women. Very specific, I know, but it's probably good to let you know! The latter is fuzzy, so really don't worry about it if you are going "is this it???" I'll probably be okay! Run it past the person below, though, if you want to be sure :).
Also you can ping Becca (bookelfe on AIM) or send her an e-mail at ryfkah@gmail.com if you ever have any questions. She has told me she is willing to act as the expert on TL. (She IS a me-expert. It is somewhat terrifying, if useful)
ALSO I WILL LOVE WHAT YOU WRITE I PROMISE.
