When I first joined the FORKNI-L mailing list, people used to ask me what faction I belonged to; and I always said that I didn't have one since, in order to write a virtual season, I had to be able to write all the characters without playing favourites. Not surprisingly, then, I've played as a Die-Hard in the last three FK Wars (if that means anything to you).

I like all the characters. Okay, some a bit more than others: inevitably not every character gets the same loving attention—neither from me, nor from other fans. In fact, there are some about whom there has been very little fanfic written at all. That includes the police captains, and Schanke's wife, and Feliks Twist. Recently, it's also included Vachon and his friends—and even Janette! Sadly, I only have three prompts (and one of them has to be a pairing); so I can't ask for everyone.

On the whole, I prefer gen. (This makes the requirement that one of my prompts be a pairing a bit of a nuisance.) Not that I ask anyone to ignore canon, you understand; but I'm not so interested in romance as the plot, and I don't much care for "adult" (i.e. explicit) stories of any persuasion. I've no objection if you want to slash Nick with Lacroix (or Vachon, for that matter). Though I personally don't think anything like that is happening in the present, they are vampires and hence, of course, have a very, very long history.

I prefer stories that are canon-compliant, but do feel free to ignore "Last Knight" if you want. I'm always happy to ignore it!


General Guidelines

What I Like:
* Plot and/or character (both being the ideal, of course!)
* A sense of humour and being able to recognize the ridiculous when it pops up; also wit and wordplay, if the story calls for them. (Having said that, I totally leave it up to you whether you write a serious or comic story—or a serious story with comic interludes.)
* Stories that are true to canon (though I've certainly enjoyed some flat-out AUs)

What I Dislike:
* Poor spelling, bad grammar and punctuation, and blatant Americanisms uttered by British characters (unless they're aware of what they're doing, which is another matter entirely)
* Explicit sex, especially if long and detailed. No objection to hints, but I'm not into plumbing.
