hilandmumYou've picked one or more of my fandoms and that says a lot about you (and me, too, I suppose).
I'm rather easy to please although I do have a few 'no-nos' that will send me running - fast - and if you've ever seen me run, it's not a pretty sight.
I tend to cringe at gratuitous graphic sex, although a well written bit of smut, and especially something appropriately sensuous or romantic is always appreciated.
Inconsistencies within a piece make my head spin. If character A likes chocolate ice cream in scene one, then vanilla shouldn't suddenly become their favorite later on. I don't mean that characters have to be entirely true to canon, because sometimes that's up to interpretation.
I frown at unusual cruelty towards even the evilest of characters, and since I don't (usually) kill off characters, even their deaths. Although I love humor, slapstick makes me squirm.
And speaking of humor, fluff is also good and so is clever banter. But I can deal with angst as well as hurt/comfort. Kids in stories can be cute or heartwarming, but overly precocious ones not so much (even though I've been guilty of including those myself).
Otherwise, feel free to express yourself and how you see the story going. These are the ones I chose this year:
Stumptown
I want more background on Dex and her brother. She’s obviously taken care of him a lot. He’s a great character.
Whiskey Cavalier
Love the banter between the characters, but especially the way they work together on each caper. Give me one of those with Frankie and Will arguing about tactics.
New Amsterdam
I’d love a story focused on Iggy. We haven’t seen enough of him, his husband and the kids. Maybe have Max asking them to babysit the baby.
Frankie Drake
Love the camaraderie among the four women. Just want them each to take part in their investigation. And throw in something for Nora too.
