One of these days I'm gonna get an LJ so I can stop being a creepy stalker anon and friend people proper-like. Anyway,... I'm excited to hear you are working on another story. Whoo, hoo!
I think your 'not' list kinda mirrors some of my own preferences in fic I choose to read so thanks for sharing. I'm glad I'm not alone in my canon love. I'm not really an AU person either. People rave about them, but I'm so 'meh' about lawyers/actors/ballet dancers. I can't picture those versions of A/E planning heists or kicking ass and taking names. That's what first attracted me to inception fandom, Mal, Cobb, Eames, and Arthur are mind-criminals. That's so cool! Why turn already cool characters into grocery store clerks? I don't get it. :/ (I'm not trying to be wanky, I apoloizge in advance if I offended anyone writing a clerk/ballet/actor AU.) I love, love, love that you are still playing in the movie verse b/c I think there is still so much possibility and stories yet to be told.

Don't worry that you're not super graphic porny, sometimes a good story with UST or a bit of a snog is just what is called for. :)

Anyway, sending support and encouragment your way.
