Are you open to fic recommendations? If so, what stuff would you NOT be interested in?
I donāt see why not?? I have so many things to read, but I never mind adding to that list.Ā Stuff that Iām NOT interested in is actually a super good question and makes it a lot easier to answer bc the list is shorter than what I AM interested in, lol.Ā
So Iām not into poly relationships. Nothing against them at all, cause thatās legit, but I get so wrapped up in my otp that I just wanna read about klance together.Ā
That being said, I also donāt like cheating fics or anything resembling that, bc of my own personal baggage ((there are exceptions to this, but itās a case by case basis)).Ā
I donāt usually read super short things. I have a mental formula for whether or not to try a fic when I come across it myself, and one of the requirements is a minimum average of 2k words per chapter. Preferably more.Ā
I donāt usually read rated G things unless theyāre highly recommended?? Just because like... Iām an adult, and I like adult themes. I like there to be enough otp interaction to feel satisfying, and at least some sexual tension, even if the fic never goes into that. Thatās not an always, just a usually.Ā
Iām usually not a fan of rp style fics, and thatās simply bc the reading of an rp is different from the reading of a fluid story and it kinda jars me as a reader. Thatās just a personal preference.Ā
I donāt like hard angst. Like... Iām fine with angst if it has a resolution and a happy ending. I donāt like sad endings. I donāt like character death. I like to see characters come out of their struggles better for it. I have enough depression, and I like to escape when I read.Ā
I donāt usually like fics that follow the story line of existing content exactly. Whether thatās canonverse fics that have scenes from the show, or whether thatās fics that follow scenes from movies to a T. This is a My Brain TM thing, but if I know whatās coming/happening bc Iāve seen/read it before, my brain checks out. So reading scenes from the show slows the pacing down, and reading fics that follow stories exactly becomes predictable. Now I LOVE AUS. Placing a story in an existing universe is fantastic and I fucking love it. Example, Iāll get bored if a harry potter au follows the plot of the books, but Iāll read every hogwarts au until I die. If the fic deviates from the og plot or just follows it loosely, Iāll read it.Ā
Iām not super into canonverse aus right now?? When I first join a fandom, I tend to only like canonverse, and then I slowly fade into only loving aus. Iāll still read canonverse if they sound interesting enough, but Iāve stopping reading ones that follow the showās episodes because of the above bullet point.Ā
I donāt like first person. Just a personal preference.Ā
Honestly, thatās it. And most of that is just technical aspects of stories that I donāt like?? Any au or concept or plot, like... anything has a chance of catching my interest, so feel free to hit me up with your fic recs. I canāt guarantee Iāll read them, and I might have read them already, but Iāll checkĀ āem out.
