I am so excited about this!

Username: luvbarryfefe

Preferred Genres: teen/young adult themes, comedy, romance, drama, soaps, mystery/thriller, horror, paranormal stuff (vampires, werewolves, etc.). Superhero stuff. Marvel preferred, but I do like some DC shows and movies as well.

DNW Genres: non-fiction (reality tv), competition shows, heavy science fiction themes (not a big fan of movies like Star Wars).

Preferred Media Types: books (available in print form please; not just ebook!), movies, web series, and TV shows

DNW Media Types: podcasts, anime, kids' cartoons

General Likes: high drama. Make me emotional, make me cry, make me sit on the edge of the seat. Give me a mystery to unravel. Or make me laugh. I love programs and books that have me gripping my belly, tears of joy rolling down my face. I am a shipper at heart, so I'd love anything with a real rootable couple in it, although it's not necessary because oddly enough, I love crazy watching complete dysfunction too. Great acting and writing are important!

General DNWs: anything overly political or religious. Please entertain me. Not preach at me. Porn. Some sex scenes are just fine and welcomed even, but if most of the content is humpin' and grindin' don't include it please. Black & white programs. Old movies. I like vibrant techicolor haha

Fandom Preferences: Any size fandom is fine, though I do like discovering new things, so a smaller fandom is enjoyed and appreciated. Shipping potential, especially M/F and F/F couples, strong genfic culture. Some vids are nice, although it's not necessary either.

Requests for Content Warnings: Animal abuse. Graphic rape scenes.

Highly recommend the mysteries of Ovidia Yu. I don't remember anything particularly graphic in the ones I've read. In the Aunty Lee's series, there is a lot of reference to food, which is absolutely my thing.

Also, cosy mysteries by Livia Day, who is the alter ego of Tansy Rayner Roberts, who does fabulous fairy tale reworkings, somewhat comic, as well as a bunch of other things. The Unreal Academia sound like they might be your kind of thing. Tansy has a patreon, and subscribing there, even at the lowest level for one month, gets you access to a number of works.

For teen/ya murder mystery, Karen McManus, in particular One of Us is Lying.

Other possibilities: Her Perilous Mansions - Sean Williams (middle grade mystery), You Brought me the Ocean - Alex Sanchez (graphic novel, coming of age, queer, superhero origin story)
