DEAR AUTHOR LETTER FOR MMRARES
May. 30th, 2015 04:42 pmThank you for signing up for this exchange! This is my first time participating, so I'm excited and a little nervous. If you're excited/nervous too, I'd just like you to know that I wish you good luck and hope you enjoy whatever you decide to write!
I'd really like you to play to your strengths and have fun when you write, but here's a general rundown of what I enjoy in fic:
I enjoy character studies and stories focused on relationship dynamics, especially if the characters/relationship grow and change throughout the story. I also very much enjoy friendships and other relationships being present within a romance-focused story and influencing the main relationship. Other pluses are pining, banter, teasing, jealousy, first kisses, and UST becoming resolved. If the story is darker or angsty, I prefer hopeful endings; I enjoy bittersweet stories. However, lighter/happier stories are more than welcome (as long as they don't come across like "everything is perfect and nothing bad has ever happened ever").
