I'm kind of scattered on genres right now? There's been mystery/thriller/scifi/urban fantasy/straight up contemporary romance/kinkfest/various genresmashes. Basically anything with a happy ending and no elves or vampires, and I am really beginning to avoid the still closeted/recently or still in denial/only-gay-for-him stuff, because I have kind of had it with teachable moments.
Also, I don't like "moving on from the death of a lover" stories AT ALL and prefer no kids, no m/m/f, and no historical era stuff. And no high school settings unless they are AMAZING. I'm also kind of tired of homphobia as THE major plot point? As a motivation for a villain, fine, but not as like a majority opinion among every straight they meet or as the main obstacle to their love or whatever. That is why I am reading contemporary and not historical, okay, because now even in Oklahoma people usually won't say that shit TO someone who's gay or lesbian, they will say it to everyone else behind their back. Still bad! But it's not the moustache-twirling, bible-thumping nonsense I keep seeing on the page.
I like kink, I like traumatic pasts, I like cops and military men (my dream story right now is a dude getting wooed right out in the open by an enlisted Marine/SEAL/etc. now that DADT is repealed - like, men, women, fanfic, origfic, I don't care, I WANT TO READ THAT SO BAD), I like psychics, I like found families, I like geeks... If something is amazing, I will probably at least try it, even if it's not my bag.
