NFE! :D I love the fun and the wonderful run of amazing stories, and the anticipation, including right now, the gleeful anticipation of the story you're thinking of writing for me! Thank you!

One of the things I like about NFE is how people's imaginations go rocketing off in all directions, making totally unexpected turns and leaps; one of the things I like about Narnia is how open it is to hugely various possibilities, way beyond my imagining.  So I won't be too detailed in this letter about what I like and what I don't, because your story could be a thousand different yet-undreamt-of things.  :)

But still, just briefly:

I like book-verse rather than movie-verse.

I like stories that stretch canon, push at the edges and explore the unexplained. (And Lewis wonderfully left lots unexplained!)  That could be (as I've hinted in one of my prompts) exploring the stories of "minor" characters.  (But who is minor in their own story?)  But it could as easily be the unexplored lands, known or unknown, or worlds, or ideas, or eras, or friendships - up to you!   

I like gen stories, world-building, character-driven stories, plotty stories, stories for grown-ups (ie where life has more complexities than how to organise breathless sex), fairytales, stories that make me smile (or laugh!), culture exploration... 

I mentioned several characters in the prompts, but don't feel confined to those at all.  I like women-centred stories, and would like to hear more of Polly, or Jill, say, though I'd be interested in exploration of what lies behind Peter's (as it seems to me) almost impenetrable control. 
In rthstewart's TSG-verse, I would very much like to hear more about Asim, or what Asim and Lucy encounter together. 
Also OCs are great in pushing the edges (though I'm not keen on OCs brought in primarily for romance, generally speaking - nor especially on shipping as the sole point of the story, or explicit sex.) 

I'd rather not have incest or abusive sex, including dubcon.  Or gratuitous abuse of any kind, come to that - nothing that dwells on cruelty for the sake of it.

Ummm... a quote to end on:  “Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvellous, intoxicating.”  (Simone Weil, more or less.)  

There!  Thank you for reading all that, and thanks again for being in NFE, and for writing your story!  :)
