9. I don’t always have a romantic ship in a fandom. When I do have a ship, it’s usually a loose preference.

I can count my OTPs on one hand.

8. If the ship is physical, I’ll usually write them as switches. There are occasional exceptions, but, I like flexibility in the dynamics.

7. Mostly I write or read Monogamy! Sometimes, you can’t resist an OT3, though.

6. I write some of both! I’m probably more of a rare pair shipper by nature, however…

5. Multiship! There’s an AU for everything

4. A physical aspect of a ship I like is when they have contrasting color schemes, especially with hair. One dark haired character and one light haired character gives a good visual balance

3. An emotional aspect of a ship that will usually get to me is when there’s a fierce amount of loyalty between the two characters—especially if it’s in a situation where that trust doesn’t feel like it would be natural, but it exists between them anyway.

2. I think that almost everything can be written well, but three shipping tropes that I’m less likely to enjoy

💔 Bad Boy/Good Girl
💔 Bully/Bullied
💔 Parent/Their Child’s Friend

1. Three shipping tropes that I love are

🤍 Idiots in Love
🤍 Grumpy / Sunshine
🤍 Monster / Human
