It's been a while since I've done one of these, so here it is. Participation is optional, obviously, and feel free to answer all of them or just the ones you're comfortable with.

And because I'm in a nosy mood today, I guess:
These are just because I'm curious, and I enjoy seeing how my own likes and dislikes stack up against everyone else's. If you have lots to say about a question and there's not enough room in the text box, you're welcome to comment instead.
A little clarification on the questions, in case you're wondering.
This is for what you read, not what you write. And let's assume that things like "in character", "good spelling and grammar", "properly formatted", etc. are what everyone would like to see in an ideal fic, and that the opposites of those things are what everyone wouldn't like in a fic.
"My bulletproof kink is:" My definition of bulletproof kink is something that you will read a fic for even if you might normally stay away from it because of author, site, pairing, poor spelling/grammar, etc. Something that trips your trigger every time. Just one or two of these would be great.
"My ideal fic includes:" Things that don't make or break a fic for you, but if they were all used and paired up with your bulletproof kink, it would be the perfect story. These can be as general or specific as you want.
"One thing that automatically ruins a fic for me is:" I'm just looking for one or two things here, something that will send you scrambling for the back button even if the fic is otherwise BRILLIANT. I'm curious about things that maybe some people don't mind, or enjoy, but you just absolutely can't stand. "Arse" instead of "ass", or fisting, or characters under eighteen getting it on, or having it set in Arkansas. I DON'T KNOW, SOME PEOPLE MIGHT HATE THAT.
"My ideal fic would not include:" For this one, you can list everything you don't particularly enjoy seeing in a fic, but it wouldn't make you stop reading if it was in there.
"My ideal fic's length would be:" These are my own definitions of length. I'm sure some people consider anything under 1000 words to be super short, or between 10,000 and 20,000 to be medium.
