Continuing in my attempt to do more with Dreamwidth, I'm crossposting this from Tumblr, with the additional benefit that it seems easier to actually have a conversation in the comments here rather than on a Tumblr post. Thanks [personal profile] gracerene for the tag, and if any you haven't already been tagged on this on Tumblr, feel free to do it too!

Rules:
Copy/paste and bold your fic preferences because why not, gotta choose one (near impossible, but go with your first gut instinct), and tag someone because, again, why not.

  • slow burn or love at first sight
  • fake dating or secret dating
  • enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers
  • oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance with correspondence
  • hurt/comfort or amnesia
  • fantasy au or modern au (I’m not really an AU fan in general but I guess if I had to pick)
  • mutual pining or domestic bliss (I do love a bit of domestic bliss for established relationships but it doesn’t tend to be enough to sustain a longer fic which is what I prefer to read)
  • smut or fluff
  • canon compliant (missing scenes) or fix-it fic (this one was tricky, I have no idea if I’ve ever read a fix-it fic, but generally speaking I don’t like reading fics that change canon apart from the HP epilogue)
  • alternate universe or future fic (not really a massive fan of AUs)
  • one-shot or multi-chapter (this was tricky as I’m not really sure what it’s asking. Right now I’m mostly reading shorter fics for time reasons, so one shot, but if you’re asking whether I’d prefer a 40k fic to be a one shot or split up into chapters, I’d probably go for chapters, although it’s not a dealbreaker)
  • kid fic or roadtrip fic (I don’t mind a kid fic, although I don’t love things that are too kid focused, but roadtrip fic just sounds so American to me that I can’t immediately see it working well in the HP universe, although I’m sure there are authors who could do it brilliantly)
  • reincarnation or character death (I love a bit of angst, so don’t mind MCD at all)
  • arranged marriage or accidental marriage (I don’t really like either of these, but I guess accidental marriage, as long as the consent issue is dealt with reasonably well.
  • high school romance or middle-aged romance (I am all about the middle-aged romance, and I love fics that focus on the characters from their 30s onwards. I think it lends itself particularly well to Harry and Draco, and one day I will write one of these)
  • time travel or isolated together
  • neighbours or roommates (I guess I would go for roommates between these two, but if we’re talking Drarry I have to really be sold on how they end up as roommates)
  • sci-fi au or magic au (this is a little bit redundant in the HP fandom but I just can’t lose the magic from that universe)
  • bodyswap or genderbend
  • angst or crack (give me all the angst)
  • apocalyptic or mundane (I don’t mind mundane in a short ficlet or drabble, but I need the apocalyptic stuff in a longer fic)
