lauren3210Okay so, a bunch of you guys pointed me towards the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hd_erised fic exchange, and thank you for the hint, because I have decided to sign up. The only problem is, I'm now stressing on how to answer these questions! I mean, how do I give one sentence on why I love H/D? I literally got asked this question on Tumblr, and my answer ended up being about 2k long and I still wasn't done! But more seriously, what do I put for things I like to read about? Does it have to be super specific, or more general? Like, do I write something like, "I like reading about Draco being a Potions Master running his own company", or "I like a Draco who is good at potions" (I actually have very few feelings about Draco and his affiliation with potions, but as an example)? I mean, I could easily come up with a list of vague things I like to read about (8th year fics, something plotty, lots of banter and dialogue, stuff like that) and stuff that I don't (infidelity, pairing character death, unhappy endings), but should I be more specific than that?
Also, should I put down the kinds of tropes or kinks I would be interested in writing? Because I can pretty much attempt to write any content (barring a few personal squicks). Basically, I just need an idea on exactly how specific I need to be in the sign up, and any advice would be great!
