mindsplintersThe content on this journal has been very sparse lately but I have archives in which you can poke as well as an account on FF.net and AO3 - Tanzy Morrow and Angie13, respectively.
Do:
* Have fun. I don't want this to be a chore.
* I adore a sense of humor and I'm a glutton for puns. Feel free to unleash your inner Spider Robinson if you must.
* I do like a well-written bit of heated prose so don't shy away from hot and heavy. I would rather not a complete Plot What Plot but no one said the plot has to be deep. It could be "help me research this case, oh, my panties fell off." I'm not picky. It can also range from sweet to rough, BDSM to blushing missionary.
* I am a total tramp when it comes to a well-written bit of character development. I drool over interactions and have been known to overlook plot weaknesses when given yummy character interaction and brilliant dialogue. Seriously, I <3 slice of life stories to a totally unhealthy degree.
Don't:
* Please no main character death unless it is canon-based. I don't mind angst or trauma or unhappy topics when done well because, hey, it's life but I really do want to keep my this free of wearing-black.
* If you go the pr0n route, do not make it non-con. No rape, incest, or pedophilia at all. Dub-con is a fine-line.
* Aim for stridently offensive humor. My sense of humor is very broad indeed but reading about people embarrassing themselves solely for the sake of embarrassing themselves... Makes me uncomfy. To frame this up for reference, I get up and leave the room during viewings of Something About Mary, Dumb And Dumber, etc. (But, strangely, I love me some Zoolander.)
* For the love of everything, do NOT vilify a character involved in the canon 'ship or even seen as a potential threat to justify a pairing. It is a serious pet peeve of mine when characters don't come together because they are suited or work for it but instead because another character is a mustache-twirling villain standing in the Way of True Love.
