Not gonna lie. Sometimes I read the comments to see if there are any major character deaths. There is one I started reading and itnstarted so good. Then I read the comments and i was like "wait. What?!?!? Hermione dies?!" I don't usually spoiler myself, but I check just to make sure. I always read the first page of comments on FF.net and check out the kudos to hit ratio on AO3. I just dont have enough time to waste reading a story just to hate it halfway through. I have like 80 tabs open right now. |

I don't mind an occassional major character death, if it fits the storyline. Like I'm reading a Dramione one where Ron dies in an accident and that's how Draco and Hermione get close. i agree with this. I'm saying more like Draco or Hermione dying. If it's a Dramoine. Or Harry if it's Hermione and harry. |

rape stuff is a no for me too. From the main characters. Same here. Someone didnt tag a Mass Effect one properly and it shook me. |

I think part of why I stopped reading Isolation was Theo dying. I couldnt take it, I love that little shit. But I will finish it eventually.

Time turners don't do it for me. Buuuuuuut there was this one m.fanfiction.net/s/12698049/1/ (once more with feelings) where Hermione was stuck in some sort of Groundhog Day and had Draco fall in love with her everyday. I liked it. Have this one open for later. |

I have a secret guilty pleasure for Alpha/Beta/Omega fics. They are pretty much all terrible, but I find them fun. I also enjoy a good Soulmark fic. Soulmarks are the one I thought I would hate but I absolutely love them!!! I have never read an A/B/O there have been several discussions about them in my AO# writers group lately nd they just dont sound like something I would enjoy. But you never know I suppose. |

No from me too. But I see what you're saying miawallace , if I was into a story I could read it but I wouldnt search it out. I came across one where HArry was basically banging everyone from the Dursleys to the Malfoys as families. I am.....scarred. Oh, harem fics are another one I just can't do. I don't someone having sex with every character ever. Oh yes, thats a no from me. |

You know, even when the stories were good. I didn't like pure blood Hermione tropes. I like her as a muggleborn with brown hair, brown eyes.

Question. Do you guys visualize the movie actors in the stories? I do except for pansy. I feel like she will always look like Libby from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

I agree, Shayalonnie (girl who wrote DOT) wrote one that I liked but for the most part I think being a muggleborn is so important to her that I dont care for them. |

They've become so synonomous with the characters it's hard not to. Harry actually has green eyes and messy hair though. I kind of imagine Lavendar differently too. I don't remember if Theo was even in the movies, so he's completely different in my brain. |

I have seen a couple drawings and fancasts for some characters that I like better. Especially wrt to the Marauders, they were all cast way too old in the movies. James and Lily were in their early 20s when they did not their 40s |

It was good. But I couldn't get into it because I can't picture Hermione with black hair and blue eyes. It makes the Dramoine too easy for me. I like that her blood status Is the major point of conflict. |

I haven't ventured into marauders stuff, but I liked the tom Hiddlesfon, Jared Leto debt of time pics I've seen online. |

I need to find a one shot or actual fic of draco's point of view during yule ball. I love it when Draco love Hermione and is fighting his feelings for her. It's my favorite type of trope. Have you asked in the Dramione group? |

I HATE HATE HATE it when someone uses an AU to basically write their own story without making up their own characters. Like they just use the names of the main characters from whatever universe but then deviate from there. Like I was reading this one Reylo author only to find out most of her stories weren't Reylo at all. All of a sudden Kylo is Armenian and Rey is half black. And their personalities don't fit at all. Just write an original fic. I never read any AUs really. Like the coffee shop ones and university AUs are so popular and I just scroll right on by. |

I love me some fake relationship tropes. I read a few good Bucky/Darcy soulmarks and omg the feeelllsssss.
I really like marauder era hijinks and Ron bashing. Especially in Scorpius/Rose and he tries to pit the families against each other and the kids are like no we don't like this.
I like crossovers too, I like the cleverness in finding where everything fits together.
I used to like marriage law fics but I am a brat and don't like it anymore. It's popular in Charmione but I am just not a fan.
I refuse to read 99% of the OC fics or AU fics I come across. I hate when HP characters are put in a high school with no magic, hate when Hermione is a pure blood, and hardest of all passes to incest and mpreg. I just cannot.
I can handle a major character death but it needs to be tagged or stated otherwise. I read one where Hermione suddenly died and I cried and refused to read any more.

I thought of another one. For P&P, I like the compromise/forced marriage trope. There are some really good Darcy/Lizzy stories where they have to get married earlier in the story due to a compromising situation or something.
