Thank you so much for creating something for me! I would be ecstatic to receive whatever you choose to make if it's something *you* enjoyed making, because that's when the good stuff happens.


So honestly, I am not picky. Just give me a happy ending, preferably with the main pairing or threesome (which I did not request, but making any of the pairing combinations I included into threesomes would be okay with me) being happily in love, on their way to a happily ever after under whatever circumstances.


Some things I'd prefer not to read in this fandom:
Mpreg
Rape, non-con or dub-con
Cutting or stuff like that
Misogyny
Humiliation
Unequal power balance in romantic pairings
Jealousy, insecurity or possessiveness
Character death
Character bashing


Entirely optional things that I like seeing in fic:
Movie fusions
AUs
Harlequin-style romantic plots
Accidents of fate that make it seem the pairing/threesome is meant to be
Whimsy
Magical realism
Humor
Kidfic
Cluelessness and other tropes like undercover in a gay bar, dating without knowing it, forced to share close quarters
Fraser bottoming
RayK being intelligent, capable and good at his job
Good use of the secondary and tertiary characters from the series
(I am particularly fond of Diefenbaker, Elaine, Frannie and Welsh; Tony, Maria and Ma Vecchio, and RayK's parents, Victoria, MacKenzie King and Lady Shoes)
Loyalty
Yearning
Porn
Stories set post-CoTW
Multi-media stories
Nonlinear narratives

Entirely optional things that I like seeing in vids:
Romance
Longing
Fate
Humor
Having something to say
Cutting to the beat
Interesting editing
Playing with time

Some of my favorite dS vids are Sisabet's "Icebound Stream," Here's Luck's "In the Mirror" and "Out Here," Voiceless009's "Things I'll Never Say," "9 to 5" and "Can't Stop this Feeling."

Hope this was helpful and not confusing or overwhelming. Feel free to dismiss whatever doesn't work for you. Something from this list might spark something for you, or not. You asked for more detail on what I'd like, so here it is, but of course I don't need or expect all or even any of these things. Again, if you enjoy creating it, I will probably enjoy it, and I will definitely be thrilled to open my present come Christmas.

Thanks again!!!!!!!
