Things I appreciate in a letter:

1. Clear formatting, paragraph breaks, headings. Some people go super overboard with this, but still, aesthetically pleasing and easy to read, please.
2. DNWs are clear and specific, as unambiguous as possible
3. A list of general likes so I can see if overall our ids align
4. A link to how to get to the canon in question. This applies to five minute fandoms, but also in general -- if I like your letter and vibe, I might want to pick up a canon for you, and making it easy for me to check out helps.
5. What you like about the canon -- so I can see, again, if our overall tastes align and I'm likely to produce something you like.
6. Prompts that inspire me

What turns me off in a letter: 1. A lengthy about me. I assume people do this because there are other people out there who like it, but it is off-putting to me. 2. A really lengthy section on how thrilled, totally thrilled, in love with you they are that you're writing for them, they just love you so much.

What I will actively game away from: 1. Ranting about current events/political issues in your letter 2. Way oversharing about your identity. I will assume you have poor boundaries and are wanky.

ugh, sorry for the formatting fail (ironic) in the latter two lists.

I also dislike judgmental DNWs. As neutral as you can manage, please. But feel free to be OTT excited about your likes, that's fun.
