I'm not one who likes decoration- there is beauty in simplicity. That being said, I'm not really fond of bare minimum interest checks myself, and especially those that are bullet points which include pairings of this x that. That's actually my biggest turn off. Second to that would probably be when people wish to write with only a specific gender, like a male asking for a female- that honestly makes me very uncomfortable.

I like to see actual plots and ideas, and if those are barebone, I'm fine with that. I just wish to know that the person has put some effort and is not solely relying on me to come up with the story and eventually lead it.
