First times oh yesss, I love them Established relationships love them too Threesomes depends on the author m/m slash well, of course femmeslash strangely enough, I hardly read it anymore Slashing a children's book/movie not appealing Chanslash what's that? Explicit sex well, duh;) The importance of charactarization absolutely crucial OOCness ??? Canon OK Fanon OK as well Cliches I admire all authors who manage to avoid them Supernatural love it MPREG usually not, but there are exceptions Wingfics don't think I've read any Genderfuck WTF? Crossovers they don't work for me Group Slut Fics usually more funny than sexy, but that doesn't hurt sometimes;) Incest it depends - between brothers or sisters is OK for me, but a parent/child relationship would be too much May/December ???
