pennfana(For the person who got my SSHG Exchange prompts, since it's extremely likely that we don't actually know each other.)
So, here's what I like. I have to admit that I like some amounts of fluff, or at least as much fluff as an in-character Severus (or Hermione, for that matter) can manage. Humour is great; I tried to come up with prompts that would be open to some amount of comedy, whether high or low. I'm fond of clever innuendo, too. Angst is good as well—especially if all turns out nicely in the end. Speaking of which, I do like happy endings, but I'm also a sucker for open endings, and not-necessarily-happy endings, when they're done well.
As for what I don't like in fic...I don't like rape/non-consensual sex; it bothers me on a very deep level. I also really dislike romance-based fics in which Hermione is still a Hogwarts student, even as an "eighth-year," because of the professional misconduct involved; even if she's of age, the power dynamic between them is profoundly unequal if she's still his student. I'm also not a fan of fics in which Hermione is romantically involved with Ron at any point; they barely get along as friends most of the time. Still, Ron behaving badly is also not something that I like to see. I'm not exactly a Ron fan, but when I read fics with him in them, I do like to see him acting reasonably, even if he's still a bit immature and insecure. I'm also not fond of PWP, extreme explicit violence, or BDSM. Yeah, I know, I'm boring. ;)
And although I doubt that it will actually be a problem, you should probably know that I find negative remarks about people's weight, the use of the word "fat" as an insult, and diet talk/body policing in general, to be very triggering. Please avoid these things if at all possible.
Crossovers are fine, even if I'm not familiar with the characters and situations that come from other fandoms, though I'd appreciate a few hints about the non-HP characters and their histories if you decide to do a crossover. (The only exception that I can come up with to this rule is the Twilight series; I tried to read the first book in the series and ended up actually throwing it across the room out of sheer exasperation.)
If you've chosen to do one of my art prompts, anything from my lists of likes and dislikes that can apply to art does apply to it. I'm not particularly fussy, and (this goes for fic, too, by the way) I'll probably be thrilled with whatever you come up with. :)
All in all, I have my preferences, but really, I'm looking forward to seeing whatever you do with whichever of my prompts you choose, and I hope you have fun while you're doing it. :)
