I'm not gonna participate because I have a grand total of six (6) fics that are 5k or longer, but I do like a lot of these freeforms. I'm tagging this as "dear creator letter" so that anyone who wants to write AU stuff for me can see some of my recent likes.

These AU's are stuff that I like in many fandoms regardless of how it happens (as long as my NOTP isn't endgame and my DNW's aren't crossed), as opposed to me being picky about how it's implemented. (For example: I'm picky about arranged marriages.)
