I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): Fic
In one or more of the following parts of fandom:I usually write BBC Sherlock, but am willing to give ACD Holmes a shot!
For one or more of the following relationships: Sherlock/John or Holmes/Watson is my main pairing, but I am happy to try Mycroft/Lestrade (probably best if Mystrade were BBC, I am just learning Holmes/Watson in ACD and have yet to get a feel for Mystrade in ACD).
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Most of what I’ve written has been friends to lovers/mutual pining type stuff and/or PWP, but I’d love to try something new! I had a blast writing Omegaverse for the last Holmestice.
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: So far, I’ve found I can’t write: slavery AU, non-con between main protags (dub-con is ok, as is past rape/rape recovery for a main protag), major character death, scat, vore, omorashi, cheating between main protags, domestic abuse between main protags or incest. Otherwise, I’m willing to give it a shot.

I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): Would love a fic, but would also greatly appreciate art based on one of my works!
In one or more of the following parts of fandom:Books: Canon; A Study in Emerald; TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Ritchie Films; Sherlock BBC
For one or more of the following relationships: John/Sherlock, Holmes/Watson, Mycroft/Lestrade.
I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Angst (with a Happy Ending); Post-Reichenbach-particularly canon divergence; Hurt/Comfort; Friends to Lovers; Humor; First Time; BDSM AU; Omegaverse; Historical AU; Sentinal Verse
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: Please no: non-con between main protags (dub-con is ok, as is past rape/rape recovery for a main protag), major character death, scat, vore, omorashi, cheating between main protags, domestic abuse between main protags or incest.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: Some fics I’d love to see (but please, don’t feel limited to these):

ACD/Granada: Have been thinking about “discreet bachelor establishments” since the last round, thanks to The Engineers Thumb and Other Body Parts...what if Holmes was asked to investigate blackmail or something at such a place by his old friend Victor Trevor? Cue the pining and miscommunication and jealous Watson!

BBC: A friends to lovers murder mystery weekend!

Mystrade: Have recently discovered I love the historical Omegaverse niche when it comes to Mystrade. Honestly, though, would probably love any Mystrade fic.

I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic, podfic
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Doyle - Canon; Mary Russell Series; A Study in Emerald; TV/Film: Granada TV Show; Elementary.
Comics/radio/other: Bert Coules radio dramatizations; Rathbone radio
For one or more of the following relationships: Holmes & Watson Gen/Friendship (always shipping-friendly) is as far as I go except in the Granada!verse, where I'm happy to ship them. If you want pining and soulful angst, however, or platonic/queerplatonic pairings, wind me up and set me loose. I will write for Watson/Mary Morstan. Also, I *love* exploring the friendships and secondary characters of all these 'verses, so feel free to ask for, e.g., something focusing on one of the awesome ladies of canon, or the Holmes & Watson & Lestrade friendship.
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Friendship; Case Fic; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (mild?)
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes;
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: torture; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; character death


I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic... or, taking inspiration from someone else's entry here, art for one of my own works.
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Doyle - Canon. TV/Film: Granada TV Show; Elementary.
For one or more of the following relationships: Holmes & Watson Gen/platonic life partners only please. Het romance leaves me generally cold... and indeed I'd prefer the work not to be romance-centric, though background pairings of any sort would be fine/cool. I'd love to see exploration of friendships and families of choice (I know what I like and it is complex emotional relationships.)
I like stuff in the following categories: Angst; Hurt/Comfort; Friendship; Case Fic; Friendship (friendship seems to be listed twice? I'm cool with that); Post-Reichenbach
With any of the following ratings: delete any that do NOT apply 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes;
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: alcohol/drug abuse; character death

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I am weak for Victorian literary allusions. I love opera, and would love to see Holmes and/or Watson loving it too. Would you like to write one of Dr. Watson's many untold cases? I would love to read about it! I really like Watson's tendency to wax poetic about landscapes; feel free to indulge it. Also, I lived in NYC for most of the past decade and I miss it, so if you want to indulge in analogous cliché-free city-atmosphere for the Elementary!verse, go nuts and I'll probably go misty over it. I'm a feminist historian, so if you want to set Holmes & Watson loose on the social ills of late Victorian England, go for it.

Special requests: I'm also happy to write expansions of canon, e.g. what happened to Nancy Barclay and Henry Wood after the events of CROO, or Violet Hunter's subsequent career, or what happened leading up to the episode at the Hotel Dulong, or what was up with the Trepoff murders, or Matthews, who knocked out Holmes' left canine in the waiting room at Charing Cross... etc. I am professionally good at research, so if someone wants a textured late C19/early C20 context, I can provide it. Other specialities include angst and literary allusions, and oddly specific knowledge of Anglicanism. Oh! and, as mentioned above, knowledge of NYC. I don't want to write something that ends in Holmes & Watson estranged or with a strained relationship. I'm perfectly willing to work them back from that, but I love them very much and I need them to love each other.
