Contact Person/Link: I'm going to say shes_gone and longleggedgit because we have similar tastes so I trust them. ♥

Stuff tacked on at the end... I should also mention that I adore all supporting characters and love it when they get used. Also, I'm easy. Whatever you decide to write just have a vision and go with it and I'll be happy.

Other squicks: Infidelity; dystopian future fic; incest; first and second person POV.
Other likes: VIRGINS. Arthur, especially makes an excellent one. Even into adulthood. Even if only virgin to guys. It's all good. A bit of anxiety and "I cannot believe this is happening" is good, too. Fumbling and clumsiness so long as they don't kill the mood. I am also a sucker for tropes such as royalty AU, accidental bonding, suddenly and accidentally seeing the other in a sexy new light, finding the secret gay porn stash, overhearing/accidentally seeing other wanking, secretly being aware of the other's kinks, rimming, matter-of-fact yet embarrassed Merlin. For a short, classic example of something I consider awesome, please see slantedknitting's What Happens In the Tent (Can Keep Happening Long After) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/477695).

I should also say I love writing bawdy (or not so bawdy) farce and comedies of error. Like burning.
