Things I'd Like: I like a lot of things and I'm pretty easy to please, but to help inspire my secret santa, here are some of my favorites: episodic fic, team!fic, canon-compliant or canon-divergent fic (as opposed to a total AU or AR, although in-canon AUs/ARs like Vegas!verse are good), hurt/comfort, unexplored backstory, character development, crack!fic, crack-y ideas that somehow morph into something more serious, asexual characters, gender-bending or gender-swap, poly, OT3/OT4, ensemble fic where multiple characters have a hand in the overall story, kink, and porn! \o/ I also love mpreg, but I like reactions to it to be realistic and congruent with the characters' personalities, etc. Mostly prefer slash (followed by het followed by femslash followed by gen). I like characters being smart and kicking ass; I like agency and internal conflict and subtle humor/plot twists. Some of my favorite episodes are Sateda, Childhood's End, The Siege II, The Last Man, The Brotherhood, Vegas, Tabula Rasa, and Conversion.

I love every character on the Expedition, so you can't go wrong there. I also love Keras, Todd, and sometimes Michael. And Allina! :D I'd love to see Ford leading an off-world team, or Weir going on a mission in a capacity other than leader, or any kind of Wraith history or mythology or culture; also, Jonas in Atlantis, anything that explores Sheppard's connection to the Wraith, or cultural extrapolations based on canon (what do we not know about Sateda, Athos, Keras' world, et cetera?).

For pairings, I mostly read John/Rodney and rare pairs such as John/Keras, Rodney/Aiden, and Lorne/Zelenka (not as rare as the others, but still a smaller pairing). Some other rare pairings I'd like to see: Teyla/Jonas, Ronon/Vala, Ford/Keller, Weir/Kavanagh, Laura Cadman/Katie Brown, and/or any combination of Lorne/Jonas/Kavanagh/Zelenka/Ronon. For canon pairings, I like Teyla/Kanaan and Ronon/Amelia.

Things I Do Not Want: John Sheppard, to me, knows what his feelings are, he just doesn't communicate them very well, so please don't make him emotionally clueless if you write his POV. Nothing supernatural, such as werewolves or vampires. No Sheppard/Weir, no McKay/Keller except as background or past relationship (or on the way to being past), although I do enjoy John/Rodney/Jennifer. No character or kink bashing. As for kinks, I don't want watersports, emetophilia, or scat play. I don't like AMTDI when played for humor; I'm not into soulbonding. No gender-swap for the purposes of "correcting" a same-sex pairing.

Things I Can Do: Pretty much anything. I'm better at angst with a smattering of fluff, rather than complete fluff. Best at episodic fics, angst & hurt/comfort, and action; better at slash but also write het, fem and gen. I love culture-building, character study, and rare pairs, and I enjoy doing experimental things like poetry.

Things I Can't Do: I don't write Sheppard/Weir, and I don't write McKay/Keller except as background or past relationship. Pairings-wise, that's mostly it. I'm not a fan of total AUs/ARs, nor do I care much for werewolves/vampires/etc. I don't character bash. I don't write watersports, emetophilia, or scat play; I'm iffy on AMTDI (if I write it, I don't play it for laughs).

Pinch-hit? Perhaps. We'll see what happens!
