Dream Universe Archive is dedicated to five pairings, this means that your fanfic should have a majority focus on at least one of them. If you go to read under each of the pairings you will get a bit more of the specific rules I have for archiving fiction of that specific pairing. On the overall there are some things that's requested. Certain offensive themes like Rasism, Abuse, Rape can cause strong reactions in real life victims of such, hence I do not want to archive stories involving such.

If it's Buffy/Angel or Buffy/Angelus doesn't matter so terribly, neither does the genre really, or rating. I can read all sorts. What I am however, is a sucker for good endings. You don't need it end with cotton candy land... in fact... please don't... But I don't want to end my reading experience bawling my eyes out, ok? I've seen too many fics ending in death and I just want to avoid it. If death occurres, I demand resurrection or afterlife, or ghostly form, you got it?
When it comes to subpairings, I'd like to limit it to what's nessesary for the plot to work. Please don't make me gag over something that clearly isn't a B/A story. I won't read twenty pages of Riley, just to have two with Angel in the end.

I'm pretty much fine with any categories, ratings you might write. The demand is whatever you put them through they stay strong together. Deaths demands ressurection, afterife or ghosts, just as the rules above say. And please don't write Dawn too young, cause I mean, I love the pairing, but I don't want to go completely cradle-robbing, if you know what I mean.
When it comes to subpairings, well, just ask. This is an unconventional pairing, hence with exception of actual exes on the show, a story might contain several pairings I haven't thought of. If I find any of it icky, then the answer will be no.

I'm fine with any category and rating, but what I ask is whatever you do, do not have Fred's soul be destroyed. I will always be in denial, no matter how much it's mentioned. Any fics involving death, I make the same demands here as the ones above. Ressurection, afterlife, ghostly form. On the subject of Illyria, I'm fine with most, but remember, this isn't a Wesley/Illyria archive, so there are some limits. At least parts have to be Fred.
And on the subject of sub-pairings, I have no problems with Gunn or Lilah playing their parts, other than that please keep it a minimum. Only if the story requires it, ok.

Any category or rating, just as the rules above. But absolutely no deaths of either two of them. I can't demand ressurection or anything as there's nothing supernatural in Firefly, so the demand is no deaths. And don't even think about breaking them up, or I will haunt you down and make you eat your own liver!
As for subpairings, I can understand Kaylee/Inara, Kaylee/Mal, but absolutely and I mean absolutely no Kaylee/Jayne. I gag just at the thought of them so the answer is no. Also don't dominate the story with the subpairing. I'm interessted in reading Simon/Kaylee first and foremost, okay?

Any category, any rating is fine by me. Absolutely no deaths for either two. Since I can't demand a resurrection, I won't stand it. And on a personal request, please no "missed chances" fics. The thought of the possibility that the two of them not getting it together until it's too late to have the whole package, it just hurts too much inside.
On the subject of subpairings, I should mention I like Max and Rachel as characters. Nicole can function as a very good plot point. I ask you to please limit the use of Dopey (Chris) when it comes to romance. I get the history between him and Lorelai, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. What I would like to see is some ackowledgement that just because he's been there for the last couple of months, it doesn't make the twenty years he wasn't there disappear. I'm tired of him constantly getting the "out of jail" card so easily, when he should be working for it. Ok, rant over. Long story short, please only use Chris if it's a plot point.
