Things I'd like:
the really big stuff: My ideal wish, every year, is a John/Teyla + everyone EPIC STORY OF EPICNESS with an action-adventure focus and a whole lotta shit going down. It would involve a cast of thousands and all those cultures in Pegasus that we've come tolove hate love (I did mention EPIC STORY OF EPICNESS, didn't I?). Oh, and Teyla would be the Hero of the story.
the big stuff: However, in the absence of plotbunnies, time, inspiration, Ancient devices capable of producing said fic, and/or any of the above, I'd be happy with a Teyla-centric, a John/Teyla non-romantic, and/or a team-fic with Teyla as major player. (Those categories don't have to exclude each other, either.)
the small stuff: Definitely include the team! I love stories where Ronon is written as though Sateda had a culture of its own before it was destroyed by the Wraith, and stories that have John behave like an adult man who learned to keep himself bottled up all those years and is only just becoming accustomed to allowing himself to believe that people aren't going to drop him for being emotionally screwed up - but still the kind of guy who held out the hand of friendship to the Athosians when everyone else was willing to write them off as 'hunter-gatherer primitives'. I like stories that use Rodney like szechuan pepper: adding a little zing without overdosing.
I like all the Atlantis women and I like them to have agency. I like hints of female friendships where the two women don't understand each other fully or hang in each other's pockets but are still there for each other. I like seeing women who are not traditionally 'feminine' - or who transgress the societal and literary expectations of a 'female character' or 'heroine'. Any additional characters are fine - casts of thousands are great fun when interacting - I like all the characters, but my favourite above and beyond all the others is Teyla.
If you want to write Wraith, I like the version of Wraith society as laid out in the SGA Legacy series by Melissa Scott, Jo Graham, and Amy Griswold: an Elizabethan-style court of Queen and her subject males. And I don't mind Teyla/Kanaan so long as it's in the past - something like "they worked out that they hadn't gotten together before for a reason and agree to co-parent Torren in a civil and civilised manner" works for me.
AUs are fine, action/adventure is fine, hurt/comfort is fine, peril and BDSM (Teyla/John in a D/s relationship - ZOMG) and fluff are fine!
Things I wouldn't like: John/Rodney or John/Elizabeth. Teyla and/or Ronon acting stupid (this includes asking questions about basic things of Earth culture by the end of the series, like "what is a tabloid reporter?") or not knowing what to do in Pegasus when a crisis happens. Fluffy romantic stuff. (On the other hand, guns and weapons and dire danger and tearing each others' clothes off in boltholes = WIN. Nothing says 'love' like defending back-to-back in a tight corner.)
What I can do: I can write Teyla-centric or John/Teyla or OT4 or team. I can write any gen (but I would prefer something that included Teyla), any het (especially Teyla-centric het) except John/Elizabeth, Teyla/Ronon, or Teyla/Kanaan. I can write femmeslash, and will write any slash except John/Rodney. I'm good with female characters as well as the male ones; I can do action/adventure, hurt/comfort, porn, or fluff. Humour is touch-and-go, but I'll do my best.
What I can't do: I've pretty much listed the pairing exclusions above: John/Rodney, Teyla/Ronon, John/Elizabeth, Teyla/Kanaan. And I don't want to write hatefic, character death, or anything that excludes Teyla.
Pinch hitter?: Maybe, if needed.
