If you've found this post then you're prolly writing for me in a fest. If so, this is not intended to stifle anyone's creativity, but if you're here stalking then we may not know each other well and this may be the best way to figure to what to write for me. Certainly, if you're floundering (and trust me, I've been there), this post may help. This of course works only for HP since that's the vast majority of what I read/write.
Preferred Pairings:
Slash – Severus/Harry (my OTP), Harry/Draco, and any combination of Harry, Severus, Draco, Neville, Bill, Remus, Charlie, Kingsley, Blaise, George. And honestly, just because I haven't mentioned your fave pairing doesn't mean I'm not interested. If you have strong feelings about a slash pairing convince me.
Het - Harry/Luna, Severus/Hermione, Severus/Rosemerta, Severus/Lily, Charlie/Hermione, Seamus/Hermione, Blaise/Hermione, George/Hermione, Lucius/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Blaise/Ginny, Harry/Astoria, Dudley/Millicent, Scorpius/Lily Luna, Scorpius/Rose. I also like some canon pairings, specifically: Arthur/Molly, Bill/Fleur, Draco/Astoria, Lucius/Narcissa.
Threesomes – Severus/Harry/Draco, Harry/Draco/Neville just to name a few. Really, if you like them together, I prolly will, too, so have fun.
Characters (Gen) – anything involving Snape, Harry, Neville, Luna, Hermione, Draco, Lucius, Pansy, Millicent, Slytherins in general, Kingsley, Teddy, Charlie, Bill, Scorpius, James Sirius, Albus Severus, Lily Luna, Rose.
Dislikes: Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione, Snape/Dumbledore, Fenrir/anyone, Marauders era, Death Eaters being, well, evil death eaters, name-only characters.
Kinks: Humor, snark, banter, plot - especially character-driven plot, mild relationship angst (jealousy, possessiveness, temporary break-ups, forced bonding, misunderstandings - as long as they are resolved by the end), cross-dressing (esp. skirts/kilts), light bondage (playful and consensual only, please), UST, AU, hurt/comfort, tenderness, first time, wall!sex, furniture!sex, flirtation, courtship/seduction, post-Hogwarts, post-war, unusual locations, unusual post-Hogwarts careers, redemption, realistic happy endings, hopeful endings, flipped clichés, Slytherin plots and motives, Slytherin!Harry, adult!Harry, Ravenclaw!Draco, Ravenclaw!Severus, public or semi-public sex, almost discovered sex, food smut, voyeurism, sex toys, snogging, hand holding, secret crushes, characters who have friends/lives of their own, unusual magic theory, wandlore.
Squicks: Chan under 16, incest (except for twincest and Lily Luna, who I can see doing her male relatives, lol), hate-sex, heavy BDSM, D/s, A/B/O, infantilism/ageplay, torture, watersports, scat, saccharine endings, suicide and self-harm, crack, non-con and dub-con, men who cry, lots of pain, unrelenting angst, non-magic AU/AR, infidelity, humiliation, Roman showers, munging (if you don't know, don't look it up, trust me - ugh), necrophilia. Also, I'm really not fond of photo manips, sims, or poser art.
You should be aware of my world view: In my mind Snape is not dead. No body, no funeral, no portrait, no death. If you do create something for me in which he is (allegedly) dead he'll need to be brought back to life in some way unless that isn't the focus of the story - i.e. a non-Snarry pairing (although I have no idea why you would want to write that for me... *g*). Certainly, if the pairing is H/D or a non-Snape pairing then, fine, he can be dead I suppose, but I won't LIKE it. :P
Just so we're clear, if Harry marries Ginny and has children with her, he only did so because he thought his Half-Blood Prince was dead. As soon as he realizes that Snape is still alive, he's totally leaving her and going to his Severus.
Same goes if you're writing Harry/Draco.
And seriously, above all, just enjoy yourself no matter what you're creating. If you're having fun then that will come across in your creation and I'll love it. Promise. :)
I update this post about twice a year, so see the date at the top to see when I last made adjustments.

Very confused...shakes head...tsk tsk.
great idea by the way
*edits*
LOL.
You know I was going to do this, but decided against it as I don't think I've been in fandom long enough(2 years) to narrow it down yet. I have a definite few squicks, and I have pairs I don't like writing for, but reading is another story. I am not a fan of Snarry, but I sure have read some incredible Snarry stories.
For the Mpreg exchange I wrote down some things I said I did not like to write, and sure enough the person I am writing for had some of these as her favs. I do not think I've had that much fun writing a story in awhile. So for now I will leave it open.
*I do agree with almost all of your squicks*
Anyway, yeah. I do love some Harry/Luna, although I often turn it into Snarry. *g*
. . . BUT NOOOOO.
Just a question, What's Roman showers? XD Thermae?
*pets* You poor, poor soul. *hugs*
