Dear Creator, my ship- and fandom-specific thoughts are in the signup form but here's some general likes/dislikes! I fully admit that I am really bad at coming up with ways to express what I like in art vs fic so just know that if I requested art as an option I will be happy with literally anything!
Some tropes I like:
Other stuff I like in fic:
Smutty likes (apologies in advance if this list contains stuff that is a squick for you, I put the tamer stuff up front):
Smutty dislikes, beyond the stuff that's in my hard DNW list (these are just things I don't particularly care for, not active squicks):
General DNW:
Anyway, not all of my lists apply to every fandom but hopefully you can pick and choose what makes sense. And of course, per the signup, you only need to match on one thing and avoid the DNW's and it's all good!!
Some tropes I like:
- all varieties of something made them do it, including sex pollen, heat, ritual sex, sex as part of job duties, sex to protect someone else from something, sex for goods or services, aliens made them do it, magic made them do it, bad guys made them do it, undercover as a couple, all as consensual or dubcon as you desire
- oh no he's hot
- forced to share a bed
- and they were roommates
- arranged marriage/marriage of convenience
- fake dating/fake married/fake relationship
- we were just hooking up but I caught feelings
- casual sex/friends with benefits
- snowed in/canadian shack/somehow stuck together
- friends to lovers
- enemies to lovers
- enemies to friends to lovers or enemies to lovers to friends+lovers
- enemies to enemies who fuck/enemies with benefits
- relationship of convenience (for example: I'm a sub and you're the only dom, or I'm an omega going into heat and you're the only handy alpha)
- you were feeling down/nervous and I made you feel better with sex
- 5+1 things
- lost a bet so now we're doing some ridiculous activity together
- drinking/party games ("never have I ever" reveals someone's surprising secret, I dare you to make out, drunken confessions, etc.)
- sex as a reward
- sex work
- guilt over being attracted to someone you shouldn't (e.g. incest, mentor/mentee, etc.)
Other stuff I like in fic:
- happy endings! or at least hopeful endings!
- canon-compliance or near compliance (fixit is fine, for example, or canon divergence)
- cheerfully promiscuous characters/ethical sluts
- supportive friends/wingmen, esp if they also tease character A about their feelings for character B
- romantic tension, like, the moment when one character turns around and the other is RIGHT THERE and OH MY GOD ARE THEY GOING TO KISS?!
- competency kink
- bisexual characters
- power differential
- add-on AUs like omegaverse, BDSM au, other things where they're still in the canon verse but it's different
- sleazy sexy villains
- that guy is a horrible terrible human being but damn he's hot anyway
Smutty likes (apologies in advance if this list contains stuff that is a squick for you, I put the tamer stuff up front):
- DIRTY TALK but in a positive way (like talking about how good it feels, how hot the person is, what character A is going to do to character B)
- slut shaming but in a positive way? slut encouraging? like the humiliation of someone talking about a person being a slut but in a kind of impressed sort of way, or enjoying someone talking about having sex with other people
- masturbation
- sexting
- voyeurism/exhibitionism
- blow jobs
- desperate to come/orgasm delay
- voice kink
- coming in pants
- frottage
- hand jobs
- athletic fucking
- manhandling
- pegging
- face-sitting
- biological imperative for sex (heat, sex pollen, etc)
- praising the other person's body
- public sex or semi-public sex or other type of sex where they might be discovered
- putting someone on display
- gangbang/group sex/orgy
- facials
- sex toy under clothes
- overstimulation
- collar + leash
- crawling
- face slapping
- bondage
- making the other person beg/ask nicely for what they want
- breathplay
- femdom
- .....omorashi, which is literally the only bathroom-related thing I enjoy, the rest is all DNW
Smutty dislikes, beyond the stuff that's in my hard DNW list (these are just things I don't particularly care for, not active squicks):
- creampie
- eating come out of ass (eating come out of pussy is fine though)
- excessive come eating (like swallowing more than two loads)
- food-related kinks
- humiliation of any type other than the "you're such a slut for my cock"/"all you're good for is fucking" type (I enjoy positive humiliation/degrading praise, but I don't like just actual negative insulting humiliation)
- gagging (as in, gagging on a dick, not like actual gags, those are fine
- furry
General DNW:
- unrequested gender changes/genderbends of any variety
- non-canonical major character death

- anything to do with pregnancy/childbirth
- infant/child death
- animal cruelty or animal death (excluding for food purposes, eating meat is fine)

- painful sex
- underage below age 15
- feederism
- bestiality
Anyway, not all of my lists apply to every fandom but hopefully you can pick and choose what makes sense. And of course, per the signup, you only need to match on one thing and avoid the DNW's and it's all good!!
