Things I'd like:

John/Rodney: - I love these two guys! I'll be happy with anything you come up with. I'm okay with both first time, and established relationship. I do prefer that the focus of the story not be entirely about romance. I like the guys doing things, exploring Atlantis, stumbling into danger, getting themselves into and out of trouble. I also like having Teyla and Ronon in the story, but not as yentas. A Team story with a side of John/Rodney would be excellent! But as I said, I'd be happy with anything with John/Rodney.

Rodney/Teyla: I really wish there had been more canon with just these two. I think they have a very interesting dynamic, and I always wonder how their relationship developed from strangers to friends/teammates. I'm absolutely fine with a gen friendship fic! I'd love a story with Rodney and Teyla teaming together to save the day. It would be really interesting to see Rodney and Teyla pitted against John and Ronon -- but no prank war or shipping, I'd like this scenario to be strictly gen.

If you're inclined to write Rodney/Teyla in a relationship, please don't vilify Jennifer or Kanaan.

I also wouldn't mind a domestic fic where Rodney, Teyla and Torren do something together, and Rodney discovers how much he loves the little guy. Teyla/Kanaan is fine for this one. Uncle Rodney with Torren would be very sweet!

General things I like: Rereading the above, I guess it's obvious that I love the Team. A gen team fic would be awesome! I like all of the canon AUs, such as Mensaverse and Vegasverse. I have a real soft spot for any type of Conversion AU. I like stories that explore Atlantis. Also stories that explore Pegasus culture. Kitten/Cat fic - Rodney getting a kitten or some Pegasus version of a cat would be great!

The thing that's really important to me is that you have fun with the story you write. I'm really easy going, and it makes me very happy that someone is writing a story for me!

Things I wouldn't like: Character bashing of any kind. I have my preferences, but that doesn't mean I want the other characters turned into convenient villains. I don't want any kind of break-up story. Deal with Jennifer as Rodney's friend after an amicable break-up well in the past, if you want. Or they never got together. No ugly break-up scenes or infidelity of any kind. No deathfic, permanent mutilation, brain damage or amnesia, scat, watersports, or humiliation. I like angst that leads to a well earned happy ending. No excessive whump with little comfort.

What I can do: John/Rodney with a focus on romance and the development of their relationship, or something more plotty. I can write fluff, but I can also do something fairly angsty leading to a happy ending. I can't do anything in my Things I wouldn't like list. Sorry, but if I write any sex at all, it would be pretty vanilla. I seem to have lost my kink muse.

I can also do gen Team (Rodney+Ronon+Teyla+John) fic. I can do plot! It might not be exceptionally complicated, but I can definitely do some action/adventure. I can do some exploration of Atlantis or Pegasus cultures. I will make sure that all four Team members get a chance to shine. I can also do a more domestic story with the Team spending down time together, maybe with Kanaan, Torren and/or Amelia.

What I can't do: Elizabeth, Radek, Carson, Lorne, Jennifer, Woolsey in a prominent role. I'm fine with them in supporting roles. I regret that I can't do kink. I can't do extreme whump, or anything that ends with permanent damage to any character. No deathfic.

Pinch hitter?: No, sorry.

ETA: I think I need a tag for Torren.
