You Name: Valerie AKA chimbomba Email Address: yankees_grrlee02 [atty] yahoo [dotty] com LJ name of someone you trust (and can keep a secret) that the person creating your gift can contact with questions about your preferences:peskywhistpaw Are you willing to be a pinch-hitter if need be?: I think that depends on how I'm doing with my own submission. :P
Receiving Top five (or so) pairings you'd like to receive: Harry/Gabrielle, Sirius/Bellatrix, Bellatrix/Barty Jr, Ginny/Theo Desired rating of your gift: G to PG-13 Situations, genres, prompts, things, etc., you want: These might seem familiar... ;) Harry/Gabrielle: HUMOR. Something inspired by: "So shallow, not even an infant could drown within this compassion." Please give Gabrielle her accent, otherwise choose a different pairing.
Sirius/Bellatrix: Dark. Prompt: Valhalla. Sirius is not in love with Bellatrix and never will be; please keep Sirius IC. I'd be okay with some violence here.
Bellatrix/Barty Jr: Dark(/Humor?). I'd love to see them band together on a mission to overthrow the other Death Eaters or something equally ridiculous and nonsensical. I love me my crazies. :P A bit o' stream of consciousness might be love? Really go all out with the psychopath/mental issues.
Ginny/Theo: Humor, with witty banter. Prompt: a touch of evil.
In general, I'm fond of: mysteries (both humorous and dramatic), sneaky nerdy references (if you throw in something about electronics or irrational numbers I will love you muchly), UST LIKE WHOAAAAAAAA, dramatic irony, snark/sarcasm, getting-together fics, friendships, crack (here's a random prompt: a sparkly of my very own), plotplotplot, puzzles/logic, creative uses of magic, banter.
Situations, genres, things, etc., you DON'T want: The usual squicks (BDSM, mpreg, blah blah blah...) Please don't use the words 'lover' and 'arse', unless you're joking. Use obscenities sparingly. Smoking/drunkenness. Excessive fluff or angst. Cliches. OOCness. Established relationships. Quidditch or either of the Wars as the focus of the plot. SMUT -- this is my biggest no-no.
Giving Are you willing to write slash, femmeslash, or both?: Femmeslash. The only slash I can readily pull off is Tom Riddle//Voldemort slash. And then it would probably be cracky. (But not necessarily.) Highest rating you will write: R for violence/gore Characters and genres you can or would like to write: I particularly enjoy writing crack, humor, and dark!fics. I have a preference for the elder generations... my favorite characters are Bellatrix, Voldemort, Gilderoy Lockhart, Rita Skeeter, and Viktor. But I'll write most anyone since I highly doubt there is a great demand for Lockhart (the poor sod). Situations, ships, characters, genres, etc., you CANNOT or would NOT like to write: No incestuous pairings except for Sirius/Bellatrix, nothing smutty-like. I won't write Luna, Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise, most Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws/most members of the DA, next-gen characters, interview characters (except Astoria), or Dumbledore. Crossgen is okay. Any additional writing strengths: I'm pretty flexible. ;)
