Alright, the story I commented on last time has developed a little more, so I can add some more points to it (I promise I won't do this a lot). Won't re-post the list I typed before but if you would prefer me to, tell me. ^^;
She'd like: - to further the point about the angst she and her friend suffered, at one point it was so bad my lead considered suicide
She'd hate: - I've actually started to plan out a series of events to explain some of the angst feelings that (I feel) legitimately explain them. - what happened to them during the 'four years' will have a lasting effect on them. - the only reason my lead ever wanted to commit suicide is as a result of spending a year and a half being constantly subjected to terrors and brutality along with her friend while being mentally and physically a child (although they did retain their memories and some of their more adult mindset), along with the fact that she thinks that her friend had died because of her. She knows that if she returns to the male character who controls her that he'd most likely kill her for not coming back with her friend.

LOL. Which one would I pick~? Hmm, she would hate my short-stories because: -It's got underage-drinking -It's about two homeless teenagers living together, not about super-rich vamps and perfect little girl. -The characters actually have flaws -The story does not have a happy-end -It contains little romance, but it's of homosexual nature (Gotta love BL <3) -The story has a rather dark theme -The relationship is twisted, but not hidden like in her works. -The main character dies -Their love was built on a truly rough ground -Pre-marital sex -One of the guys has actually never said 'I love you' to the other. He shows his feelings. -Even when one dies, the other doesn't go around killing himself -No love-triangles -The problems and challenges in the story was real. Like when people were going to tear down the building and they have nowhere to stay anymore; when one tried to stop the other from selling drugs to get money; and when one was sick although they know they can't get any help from anywhere because they aren't even supposed to be there according to the government.
Things she would like about it: -The true love thing. The main characters stays with each other until the end -The main character is blindly and stupidly in love with the other. He will practically do anything for his boyfriend (The fact that it was considered as a stupid thing even in the story is to be ignored) -It mentions on how the main character's eyes reminds his boyfriend of the summer sky repeatedly, but it was a part of the plot.
I think that's it <3

-- GENERAL -- + There are elves in the book... - ...but almost all of them have succumbed to evil and are the main villains of the story. - ...but they are not immortal anymore. - ...but none of them are justified in killing, despite being more beautiful and long-lived than humans. + The main theme of the book is that punishment by death is just as evil and unnecessary as any murder... - ...but this is shown by having the FMC go against the theme, killing many and striving to kill for vengeance, only in the end realizing the huge error in her way of thinking.
-- CHARACTERS -- + The MC is female... - ...who can handle a sword, excells at riding and has worked as a town guard for many years. - ...who has a lot flaws, including being violent and short-sighted. + This FMC is the one taking care of the household... - ...but she very much respects her mother, who while old, is not in the least bit helpless. + Both secondary MCs are male... - ...but neither have their lives circle around the FMC's. - ...and they both have flaws. + There are slight hints of infatuation between the FMC and both of the MMC's... - ...but none of these spark into romance during the book... + ...apart from (perhaps) a hint in the end. + The FMC is a half-elf, therefore aging slower than any human... - ...but despises her elven father and origins, fighting against the elves in the war, and hunting down her elven father. - The MCs get beaten up and have to sacrifice a lot to gain their goals, and in the final climax one of them (the closest friend of the FMC) gets killed.

Well... Likes: There's romance. Not much, but there is some. One girl runs away when her 'soulmate' 'dies'. Two children get rapidly aged from 2 to 16 in the space of 2 years. Dislikes: There's a hell of a lot of sex. Plenty of drinking. One of my main characters is just dating a guy for the sex. There's lots of blood and gore. One of the other main characters cuts herself. There's a lot of fight scenes, and a couple of shoot-outs. Swearing There is NO supernatural creatures. Yeah, that's about it..

Like
-There is romance - There are shape-shifters (there may be vampires in it later on, I am not sure yet) - There is a love triangle (although the love triangle doesn't involve the main characters)
Dislike
- The love triangle involves one guy trying to get the girl he loves out of an abusive relationship - The abusive relationship is portrayed as bad - The main characters start out as friends and their relationship doesn't turn romantic until towards the end - The main female character at least tries to defend herself against the shape-shifters that attack her and doesn't rely on the male lead to defend her - The female side characters are not only separated into who likes the main character and who doesn't

The FMA crack/angst fic that I previously wrote about has expanded considerably since I last posted, so I'll add a few more things that SMeyer would like or dislike about it.
Positive: + Quite a few characters are physically attractive.
Negative: - Guy/guy and girl/girl pairings. - Polyamory. - Crossdressing. - At one point, Edward and Jacob show up. They end up in bed with one of the story's male characters.

Positive: + Quite a few characters are physically attractive. Negative: - Guy/guy and girl/girl pairings. - Polyamory. - Crossdressing. - At one point, Edward and Jacob show up. They end up in bed with one of the story's male characters.
-Polygamy in addition to polyamory -The girl who slept with her not-boyfriend's brother. She uses this guy (the brother), and, though she has sex with him, never says his name in bed. ...She says his brother's. -A gay male character got a girl pregnant in high school, and now has twins. -The girl that he got pregnant is bisexual. -One of the characters attempts suicide (I'm not sure if I told Italia that I worked this bit out?) -One of the characters believes that most children are demonic, and seriously has paedophobia. -For which he is put on antipsychotics, which he refuses to take on the grounds that it's not exactly compatible with the other medication he's on. -Which is for a disability that falls under the autism spectrum -...which he actually manages to get prescribed without actually seeing anyone capable of accurately prescribing it. -This guy is also the random relative that lives in his more successful relative's basement for a few years (his brother - who, actually, makes less money than he does, but is more emotionally stable and has a happy, healthy marriage and two kids). -Rats with a rocket launcher are mentioned -One of the immortals was an SS officer - Einsatz. -His father was put under many experiments in Dachau... including vivisection. His son knew of this and didn't object, but merely kept quiet - mainly in order to prevent the same thing from happening to him. -The SS officer participated in the Lebensborn program. One of the children he fathered is the great-grandmother of his son's first wife (thankfully, no children were produced out of this union, manly due to the man in question being sterile). -The spawns of the immortals. Oh, their "powers". More like disabilities: weakened immune system, inability to know which language they're speaking (one or two of them), mental disabilities... yeah. -...The SS officer, being born in the 18th century, is somehow responsible for Hitler's existence (we haven't worked out the details). -One of the character's parents was all but disowned for marrying the man she loved - she was French, her parents were dead, and she was raised by her very anti-German grandparents (who lived through WWII, so...) - her husband was half German, half Japanese. -Their son is... over-emotional. He, ah, cries. A lot. -The girl he's in love with adamantly refuses to acknowledge that she has any feelings for him... even though she's sleeping with him primarily because he wrote her beautiful love letters that made her want him - but yet every time he asks her out, she turns him down. -One of the characters was a sniper in a war. She killed people. -Though the couple in question didn't have sex before they were married, the girl still would walk around their apartment wearing the sluttiest lingerie she could find from the time they started going out. -She was disappointed when she couldn't effectively seduce him, due to him wanting to wait until they were married. (Well, they started dating in November, and were married the following January). This didn't stop her from trying. - sex ≠ love. Well, not always. -One guy cheats on... well, everyone he's ever in a relationship with. -It's not that he didn't love his girlfriend (and later, boyfriend/husband), but that he actually had a sex addiction. -Which his husband forces him to go to rehab for. -Almost everyone sees the same therapist. I don't know how the therapist in question has refrained from suicide.

She would like- -That Adrian kind of a pretty boy -Him and the main girl (I haven't named her yet.) have a relationship similar to Edward and Bella, in the sense that Adrian controls her actions. -Adrian will stay young-looking longer than is naturally possible.
She would dislike- -That the above relationship is not depicted as 'ideal' or 'tru wuv.' Their relationship is very much messed up and not healthy for both of them, the girl especially. -That Adrian's lifespan as a result of his extended youth and powers is only thirty-five years at best. (He's about twenty-two at the time of his story.) -Speaking of Adrian, he's an amoral douche that has no qualms about killing in cold blood, and who regards humans as nothing more than pesky bugs at best, and a stain on the Earth at best. You think Edward's dangerous? Adrian would eat him for breakfast. -The main girl stands up for herself, and is actually capable of fighting for what she believes in -There is actually a plot. Said plot does not kick in in the last half of the book. -The violence. -The premaritial sex (Scandalous!) -While she would like the superpowered beings, she would dislike that their powers really aren't anything as 'special' as her vampires (The only powers they have is enhanced senses and strength that are not that better than a normal human) -The bad guy is actually, well, a bad guy. For that matter, he's the creepiest character in the whole thing. Not a half-assed wimp like James.

I've updated my likes/dislikes list for my RP, seeing how there were a couple of details I forgot about. The full list is on my original post, but here are the recently-added points:
LIKES:
5) The only humans currently present in the story are either non-Earth humans from other realms, or NPC supporting characters. Even then, their presence is rare in both cases, and most of them play relatively minor roles.
6) Family and friendship are very big themes throughout most of the RP, and in general family-related characters are shown to be noticeably closer with each other than they are with other characters.
DISLIKES:
7) Any and all supernatural properties, including a Celestian's or other being's powers, are completely negated on Earth, with the sole exception of Celestian telepathy. For example, if Edward Cullen were ever to come to our world, he would basically spend his stay here as *le GASP!* a plain, ordinary HUMAN!
8) Although Earth humans have rarely had a chance to shine in the story so far, those who do make an appearance are by no means wimpy or fragile, save for realistic exceptions such as pregnant women. Granted, to date these are all NPC supporting characters and all civilians with little to no combat expertise, and thus they don't kick as much ass as a typical Celestian character might, but I have yet to see any of these be truly portrayed as useless cowards. Future Earth human characters are currently in the works with more experience in fighting, hacking, etc., and the goal right now is to make said humans every bit as capable as their Celestian counterparts.
9) All of the characters, in addition to having their share of flaws and imperfections, tend to have their own personal goals and agendas, none of which include falling in "twu wuv" with the first pretty face who looks their way.
10) Some degree of blood/gore is shown, albeit on a PG-13 level. On that note, some R-rated realms have been nominated by our members for use in future arcs, including Devil May Cry 4 and the Mortal Kombat series, which may or may not increase the PG-13 rating in the future, depending on how it is handled.
11) Many serious topics are featured in the backstories of certain characters, including gang violence and the Taliban as mentioned before.
12) One word: Guns. As of right now the main RP is almost finishing up with its first real phase of the story on Earth, and in that part alone, guns have been pulled on or fired at other characters a grand total of 13 times. Knives, swords, and the like have also been used quite often: not as often as guns, but still enough to raise some eyebrows on SMeyer's part.

I think she would like my Twilight fanfiction. (Don't ask, I had my reasons.) I'm not sure about the others, though. They have a bit of romance in them, so she would like that, but there's quite a bit of action in them, and it can get gory.

Likes -Characters have slight romantic connections, but its never really developed. -Main female character -One character is in a possessive relationship with an older man (He abuses her mentally, sexually, and physically though, then again, SMeyers may like that.)
Dislikes -Main female character(Iced) is an assassin, a bit of a bitch and a narcissist and is scarred and not very pretty. -Main male character(Aden) is not Adonis like and not a controlling manipulitave asshole. -The series features death, blood, gore, dismemberment, violence and cannibalism. -None of the male characters are "gorgeous", handsome yes, but overall ruthless killers (Some, not Aden, he's a pansy) -No sparkly vampires, sorry, actually, no vampires at all. -Demons, nuff said -Heavy alcohol usage -Some characters swear like sailors (-cough- Iced) -The story actually has a plot (OMG really?) -Most of the characters have some sort of personality/mental disorder, (Iced: narcissist, Rebecca: Schizophrenia, etc.) -Elaborate descriptions of weapons and battle scenes -No real set "good guy/bad guy" -Heavy doses of character death
I can't really think of anything else that she would very much so dislike, cause I really don't give a damn!

She would like: - The main character is a teenage female - She "falls in love" with a teenage male - Teenage male has an "old-timey" name (Nicholas) - Main character is self-centered She wouldn't like: - The main character is a bitch, a liar, average-looking, and a dominatrix with a superiority complex (and possibly suffering from a mental disorder) - The male is submissive, simple-minded, and unattractive - The main character has an "ugly" name (Dolores) - It's written in third person omniscient - Rape is involved (no, not the thesaurus kind) - There is nothing supernatural - The narrator is unreliable - It's more of a character study than a story with "action" - Loads of sexual innuendo, symbolism, metaphors, allegories and imagery

Like: - There is romance and gratuitous fluff at times - True love is often a component of the plot - Some of my male characters are the brooding sort - Sometimes the male characters are supernatural
Dislike: - Nearly all the romance is non-heteronormative and in every single novel the main couple is two men - One novel in particular involves a romance between God's son and Lucifer's son - There is lots of swearing - Premarital sex between men - The women tend to be smart-mouthed and independent - People who try to control others get yelled at rather than swooned over - People learn from their mistakes - Romance is never the main plot - Romantic partners are pretty much always best friends as well as lovers - The good guys are often scarred and not always attractive - Anyone who has magic also has weaknesses and limitations because of it

What she would like: 1. Nobody has (consensual) premarital sex. 2. There are vampires (hers) 3. There is (eventually) a happy ending 4. Everyone is heterosexual
What she would not like: 1. The main character is mentally ill. 2. Everybody suffers horribly before Earning Their Happy Ending. 3. It gets very violent at times. 4. Characters can/do die. (Sometimes several times over, and often brutally) 5. The main character does not fall in love, ever. 6. My characters end up very broken by the end. (Not that they were particularly well-adjusted in the first place) 6. There's no real romance to be had. 7. The fact that I am deconstructing her universe, and putting her characters through Hell, in a nutshell.

Smeyer would like: -the touching moments between the characters
She wouldn't like: -The heroine gets raped and murdered in the first chapter -She then gets resurrected by an angry witch hell bent on the destruction of the monster that raped and killed the protagonist. -There is a hell of a lot of cussing -Lots of sex -lots of murder -absolutely no religious connotations
That's about it, really.

So, Meyer's opinions...
Things she might like:
- There is a romance sub-plot - There are supernatural elements
Things she'd probably hate:
- The supernatural zombieish things aren't pretty, they're Silent Hill-esque creepy. - Said supernatural things aren't misunderstood poor things, they kill violently and have no emotions. - Main character has a problem with possession, it mutates her body and makes her look deformed and disturbing. - Pre-marital sex! No purity message, hell one of the characters works in a fetish club, she's a nice character too. - Romantic interests didn't save their virginity for eachother, no couples were virgins for eachother. - Drunken idiocy. - Plenty of surreal trippy nightmarish scenes. - Sarcastic and/or dark humour at some points. - A lot of torture, violence and gore, none that is related to childbirth. - Important characters do die - Romance sub-plot doesn't include flowery soppy crap about how attractive the guy is (he's fairly attractive but not described any more than necessary), they do not fall in love and declare that they are soulmates instantly and horrible things get in the way often. There is no wedding nor is there a baby. - Romance sub-plot is no more important than the platonic friendship sub-plot between main girl and her best friend. - Said best friend doesn't obsess over fashion and kiss main girl's arse. She also has development not involving the main girl. - Characters are all 20-somethings, not high school teens. - Main girl is blonde. - Main girl doesn't get every single guy's attention, she is attractive but not made out to be more so than the other characters.

Oh, SMeyer would hate a lot of things my writing... it has no title yet, but here goes.
- The main female characters in the story are an Argentine detective, a half Cajun half Afro-Dominican medical examiner and her foreign language specialist sister, a Sri Lankan CSI, a half Jewish half Filipino forensic technician and a half Haitian-Japanese half Welsh police officer
- Men and women working together to fight crime
- No special made up names
- The detective calls one of the main male costumed heroes out for being a sociopath
- It focuses on plot rather than romance although there is some ship tease
- Everyone has their moment to shine
- The rise of female costumed heroes and heroes of ethnic minorities
- There are both minority and Caucasian villains
- Anti-villains with actual goals
- Characters have scars, burn marks, freckles, gap teeth, tattoos, piercings, broken noses, etc
- A few heroes and villains have mental issues
- The detective is divorced and is happy being single, not to mention raising four kids: her son, her niece, her adopted teen ex-stepson and his female best friend
- The characters have actual flaws and weaknesses
- The characters have actual quirks, talents, hobbies and interests
- There are plenty of people wearing glasses and have nerdy interests, including the medical examiner and a male and female costumed hero
- There is an Afro-French police captain, a German woman as district attorney, an Iranian woman as fire chief, a deaf Afrikaner-Greek woman as head of the crime lab with a non-stereotypical gay man as second in command, a Jewish woman as assistant district attorney and a Middle Eastern man as police commissioner
- A major character gets killed off
- There are mixed marriages
- A Catalan woman (who happens to be the mayor's secretary) is actually the one doing a good job of running the city
- Characters in damsel-in-distress situations usually figure out how to get themselves out
- There is a blind hero and a blind villain, a dyslexic police lieutenant, a crippled hero, a mute private detective, a teen hero with a prosthetic arm and a hacker with cerebral palsy
- Best of all, no sparkly vampires!

Let's see...
- Barely any romance. If there will be, it won't be the focus. - There is a lot of violence and blood, onscreen. - Villains actually have a good reason for turning to villainy and not just because they're "evulz". - Most characters go through a lot of trauma in their lives. - Delves into the dark side of religion and how it can corrupt. - Everyone actually does have real flaws, and not everyone is super pretty. - Takes place in a fantasy world, but no vampires. There are supernatural, but they're not "speshul". - People do die. Sometimes very graphically.
There might be more, but too tired to keep using my brain right now.

My current fic I'm working on she would not like due to: - Barely any romance - Some ho yay and foe yay that can be seen as kind of romancy - Very little family unity - A lot of ugly and old people are in the story - A lot of people suffer and don't get happy endings. - A lot of them have personality, mental, and other various flaws - Not even the "hawt" fairy lords and demon lords are considered perfect - The main character starts off as a 10 year old boy - My vampires don't sparkle.
Like - The hawt male characters - Het pairings - Sort of made up nicknames (too many characters share the same name) - Magic

Um...yeah.
She probably wouldn't like: - One of my works mirrors the Nazi-Soviet issues of WWII. - Communism, ahoy! (Wait, she might like that.) - The main character of one of my stories actually works to save his kid. - Human trafficking and slave trade. - Very matriarchal society. - Rape. Murder. There's even a mention of child rape in there. - Creepy stalking. As in, creepy, not Stalking Is Love. The stalking is the forerunner to aforementioned rape. - Homosexuality. Oh, dear Lord. -Fang ends up as a weird cat-guy who can't talk all that well. -One of my characters is a porn star and loves sex. -The fact that some character names are in fact words in foreign languages. E.g. Tesák Požár basically translates as "Fang Fire" in Czech.
Probably would like: -Sky pirates! Because pirates are awesome, especially in the air. - There are supernatural creatures. Mainly faeries and a huldra but they're still awesome! Oh, ad a unicorn. - Magic. Elemental magic that is. - Romance. - Hopefully, a happy ending.

What she would like: 1. There is romance 2. There are quite a few mythological beings, right now its centered on werewolves, merpeople and fae. 3. There are some hawt characters. 4. There is magic.
What she won't like: 1. The romance is not the main focus of the story. 2. No insta-chemistry between the main character and the love interest. 3. The main character is gay. 4. Even though the main is gay he doesn't act like a stereotype. 5. Some characters that are close to the main will die and won't come back no matter what. 6. While there are hawt characters nothing romantic will happen between them and the main. 7. My main character is interesting...to me at least as he has hobbies, a job and goes to college. 8. Gore 9. Violence 10. Mentions of child molestation about the main character.

She'd hate mine. It makes fun of love and those in love. In fact, I based several characters on my interpretations of some of hers and have horrible things happen to them based on the more realistic consequences of their personalities.
Edward is seen as an abusive jerk by anyone with sense. My Edward parody takes it a step further to full-out antisocial personality disorder. Charming he may be, but he is a power-hungry sociopath who cares nothing for anyone or anything other than what they can bring him.
Bella is seen as a dimwited martyr who would do anything and give up anything for her love and an immortal life with Edward. My Bella parody has co-dependency issues and martyr syndrome, betrays everyone she's ever known and cared about, brings about the destruction of her own home town and almost everyone in it, helps the villain rise to power, back-stabs the only guy who actually loved her and was willing to do anything for her, and justifies it all with the excuse of "true love" and plays herself off as a martyr for "sacrificing so much". She essentially pisses off my MC so much that when given the chance to outright kill her for everything she's done, the MC actually intentionally lets her flee for the sole purpose of getting to see the girl's "true love" kill her himself once she no longer serves any use to him.
And fun times were had by all...but mostly me.

What she'd like about one of my urban fantasy projects: 1. Character designs tend towards the generically attractive. 2. There are vampires, and they tend to be stronger than humans. 3. There is romance. 4. One female character who works outside the home is criticized for neglecting her son for her work.
She wouldn't like: 1. My vampires require human blood to survive. 2. The humans of the setting have ways to effectively fight vampires if needed. 3. Several female characters are shown working outside the home, in traditionally masculine fields such as the police and the military. 4. For the most part, vampires have been integrated into human society, and while there is some tension, things are generally peaceful. Infrastructure and institutions are in place to help vampires acquire blood safely and to facilitate human/vampire relations. 5. There is no human/vampire romance. 6. The main character is gay, and is treated sympathetically.

Likes:
I actually can't think of anything
Dislikes:
*All women know how to take care of themselves, from the friendly prison therapist to the murderous terrorist.
*Loads of graphic imagery.
*A child who does some... unappropriate things, to say the least (make people stab themselves to death, decapitate the prison warden with a metal wire, bite someone's eye out, things like that).
*Fairies are prominent, but don't sparkle
*The relationships are often twisted and dark (and don't sparkle...)
*People drop like flies in the latter half of the book
(More things will probably pop into mind)
