Getting the icky stuff out of the way: 
DNW
Character bashing. This is my biggie; the complexity of some of these characters is what draws me to them. (I'm A-OK with one character criticising another's actions, or characters arguing or disliking one another, but please no shoehorning of personal dislikes.
Perfect Ainur. Well-intentioned but fallible is fine, but I'm not on board with “they can do no wrong."
Crack fic
2^nd person narrator
MPREG (and very explicit pregnancy)
Unrequested kinks (including but not limited to BDSM, scat/waterworks, emetophilia)
A/B/O
24/7 D/S
Incest (parent/child AND sibling/sibling)
Some ships: Celebrimbor/Annatar, Legolas/Gimli(romantic only - platonic bros is fine), Bagginshield

Generally, my tastebuds sing for

• Character complexity and conflicting motivations
• Unusual perspectives, original characters (especially female characters) and textual ghosts
• Weaving a small tale into the vivid tapestry of Canon
• Unreliable narrators and quirky narrative structures – for example, epistolary, fragmented narratives, stories told through found documents, framing devices, stories told out of chronological order 
• Philosophical musings
• Found families/families of choice
• Grief and tragedy
• Hope, redemption and reconciliation
• Exploring the outer edges of the map
• Genderqueer or other queer aspects of characters, OC or otherwise
• Well-crafted OCs
• Developing friendships and budding romances

Kinkwise:

• Hair brushing/washing/braiding
• Sex exploring power dynamics and/or deeply informed by characters' history together
• Neck kissing
• “Thank god you're alive” sex; sex after serious injury
• Differing experience levels
• Enthusiastic consent
• Reading erotic literature together

I hope there is something of use in all this - if you want to test ideas or ask for clarification, feel free to reach out to me on tumblr or via the swg discord (you can ask a friend for the sake of anonymity)

Sindarin/Noldor/Man cultural exploration/clashing and the consequences thereof - could be lighthearted naturewalks, could be political machinations to make Gil-Galad son of caranthir the next High King? Whatever floats your boat ;)
