rsadelleI found two things very interesting about this meme. First of all, it was longer every time I saw it. In that spirit, I've added a couple of things to it. Secondly, I was surprised by some of people's answers - even those of people I thought I knew really well. I would love to know what on here surprises you!
I have answered these as if the question regarding each item were, "Do you like this?" Unless otherwise specified, I will read - and enjoy - the things I've said no to when well-written, although I wouldn't click on them unless they were by someone I know is a good writer or they were part of a story with something else I wanted to read.
Creature/Aliens: Sure, I guess.
Animagus: Sure.
Mpreg: Yes! I like mpreg, but I keep thinking I haven't read any that's good recently/
S/M: Yes.
Humiliation, shaming: No. I dislike anything that will make me feel anxious for the characters.
Power exchange, dominance and submission: Yesssss. Control/submission is my number one kink.
Fight for dominance: Yes.
Slavefic: Yes. Caveat: I like relationships between equals, so a slave who just passively obeys is not my thing.
Age difference: Sure? I'll read things with an age difference, but it's not a kink for me.
Bloodplay: No.
Underage (chan): Eh. I'll read underage, but I'm less interested in it the older I get.
Crossdressing/Genderbender: Yes!
Bodyswap: Yes.
Dubcon: Generally yes.
Noncon: Generally no.
Incest/Selfcest: Sure.
Threesome/moresome/gangbang: Yes! Always.
Death: No.
Watersports/scat: No. Not at all. Period.
Crossovers: Sometimes. They can be good. They can also be annoyingly bad.
Unhappy/wide-open endings: No.
Violence/Torture: No.
Impact play (spanking, flogging, etc.): Yes.
Established relationship: Eh. I'll read it, but I prefer first time stories. I'm more likely to read established relationship if I'm looking for cuddling or kink.
Infidelity: No.
Self-harming/Attempted suicide: No.
Addictions/Disorders: No.
Toys: Yes.
Uniforms (school girl, nurse, military uniforms etc.): Sure, why not?
Double penetration: Yes.
Anal (het, gay and/or lesbian): Yes.
Rimming: Yes.

Deep-throating: Yes.
Boot worship, foot fetish: Eh. Not my thing, but I might read it.
Chains, shackles, collars, handcuffs, and other means to restrain a character: Yes! Bondage, of the tied down or held down variety is one of my top five kinks, especially if it involves things around people's wrists.
Blindfolds: Yes.
Certain places such as dungeons, prison cells, interrogation room, offices (add your own if you have one I didn't mention): Not really. Someone once commented on a story I wrote and said they particularly enjoyed that much of it took place in the kitchen because they have a thing for stories in kitchens, which made me realize that I also enjoy things that take place in kitchens.
Mind games/mind fuck (you know, that nice psychological approach to bend a character to one's will and/or break them): No.
Food play/sploshing: No.
Gore/guro: No, not at all.
Breath play/asphyxiation: Yes.
Hair-pulling/biting/scratching/bruising: Yes. I love things where people leave marks.
Writing on the body: Yessssss. This is one of my top five kinks, with a caveat: if it's pen, I like words or pictures, but if it's paint, I want it to be words.
Gun play/knife play/wand play (knife play does not have to include cutting someone, and you can add some other inanimate object to the list, if you have one!): Wands yes; knives sometimes, guns no.
Drugs or intoxication: No.
Language kink (accents etc.): No.
Squick fics (aka fics that are meant to squick the hell out of you): No, no way, not at all.
Have to get married!: Yessssss.
Soul- (life-, heart-, force-, marriage-, wizard-, etc.) bonds: Yessss, forever yes.
Hurt/comfort: Eh. I guess? I read someone's comment once where she said that what she didn't like about hurt/comfort was the inequality between the characters, and that's made me look at the genre differently.
Kid!fic: Yes. A million times yes.
Time travel: Yes, especially if it deals with the consequences of the time travel on the regular timeline.

Amnesia: Yes.

Kidnapping: Sure.
