Permanent Fic Exchange Notes

[sixthlight]

This is a permanent post to archive my preferences for fic exchanges - I'll edit/update it if they change.

 

Stuff I really like in fic includes: people being kind to each other, science (and SCIENCE!), mystery plots/casefic, found family, loyalty, women bonding and female friendship, queer communities, humour, happy endings, the exploration of worldbuilding and its implications (including via AUs), expansion on/use of minor canon details, and cracky premises/tropes treated with some seriousness.

Stuff I would really prefer not to see in exchange fic includes: dark interpretations of characters (or darker than canon, where relevant), brooding, angst, endings that feel hopeless, infidelity, noncon/dubcon, incest, child abuse (sexual and non-sexual), homophobia, transphobia, very explicit or detailed violence, torture, people being humiliated, embarrassment humour, and canon being changed or rewritten Just Because. That said, in general adult elements of all sorts (sex, violence, swearing, discussion of mortgage tax) are fine, especially if in line with the tone of the canon.
