Feel free to ask me any of them. I don't think I'll post this meme myself, because too many of my answers would be boring--about a third of the questions would elicit some variation of "I don't know," or "I don't remember," because specific fics and author names tend to slip through my brain and disappear.

But ok – you know my specific likes and dislikes - beyond that -
The perfect fic is long – as long as I would like it, with more f I ever want more
It is well characterized – both characters, relationships and maybe even the world aroun them and the things they do- are specific/considered and interesting, and play off each other well
It focuses on a relationship, slowly
Personal/relationship changes
Pref it’s Sam/Dean, or J2, non AU (canon divergent is cool, though),
It plays off canon interestingly, incorporates the things about canon that are great, and also is its own thing
It is unique
Pref it explores a unique angle of things/relationships/characters/canon
It doesn’t trigger or suick me ffs
Casefic is good if the case is interesting and illuminated the chracters/relationships interestingly

Besides Kevin fic in general, and Sam/Kevin fic in particular? ;) Hmm, for sexual kinks: consensual bloodplay and knifeplay; BDSM with non-woobie subs, or where the sub is more experienced; BDSM with doms who enthusiastically love and get off on domming for reasons other than (just) taking care of their partner; BDSM in a loving relationship that has a real S&M component; nonsexual praise kink that's fun and light; nonpenetrative sex of all kinds.
Other stuff: consensual bad sex that isn't exclusively one person's fault; obsessive, destructive relationships where both parties are complicit, and are engaging in mind games with each other; established relationship fic about believable relationship problems; trueform angels/demons and genuinely alien-feeling nonhuman pov fic.
What makes you pick up a fic, what makes it sound interesting?
These days I seldom read something that isn't by an author I know I like, or else recommended by someone whose taste I trust, unless it's Sam/Kevin--I click on pretty much everything written for that pairing, no matter how terrible it looks. Other things: if the summary is well-written in a way that feels to me like the author is on my wavelength, and it suggests the story is about a subject I find interesting, or a kink I like, that makes a huge difference. If it sounds appealing enough I may try it, even without a rec or a lot of pre-existing interest in the pairing. On the flip side, if a story on AO3 has more than a half dozen lines of tags, there's basically no chance I'll click--it probably has too many ships/characters for my taste, and too much overly complicated plot.
What’s the weirdest fic you’ve ever read? Describe it.
This is one of those questions I have a boring answer for--I honestly don't remember. I mean, I've read a ton of bizarre fics on the Kink Meme, but that feels like shooting fish in a barrel, and really it's all relative to what you're used to. The tamest a/b/o fic is weird by the standards of anyone who isn't in the fandoms where it's prevalent.
I loved your description of the weirdest fic you ever read, though! It sounded like someone had just written down an unfiltered dream, which is the vibe I get from some of the weirder fics I've read.
If you could imagine the perfect fic, what would it be like?
That varies depending on the fandom and ship. Since Sam/Kevin is my current OTP, let's go with that. A perfect fic would be canon-verse, 10-20k, and a significant portion, if not all of it, would be devoted to their relationship after they got together. There'd be a fair amount of crazy!Kevin being psychologically unstable, and Sam's screwed up history would hang over everything that happened between them. Intense, damaging fights paired with equally intense caretaking and comfort, from each of them to the other. The author would have an awareness of the troublesome power dynamic between them, and weave that into their relationship. If you want to throw kink into it, at some point Sam would give Kevin nonsexual praise related to his intellectual/research abilities that excited Kevin in a sexual way, and at another point Sam would consensually cut Kevin and taste his blood.

I tried to relook at that magnet fic. It is still weird. Not what I remembered exactly, but mostly I understood mocre about it from the comments....
Still, the author wrote one of my favorite fics, and not unlike the things you describe, eestablished relationship, only on my boys..........
