Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:

Things I generally love in fic: Conversations (epistolary or otherwise), banter, tenderness, a sense of history between two people, generosity, wry affection, idiosyncrasies, two people working on something together that brings out the best in them.

For vids, I like all kinds of music and will enjoy anything you create. Holmes/Watson shippiness is always welcome, but I also love vids focused on humor, adventure, character exploration, friendship, or tributes to a particular beloved adaptation or performance. Go as the spirit moves you!

The same can be said for art, I would welcome anything in my requested verses. (If you are drawing for Granada, I have a preference for Hardwicke's Watson). If you like illustrating fanworks, you are of course welcome to draw something from one of my fics, but if you prefer creating original compositions, or comics, or scenes from whichever source material or adaptation you like, I’m just as happy with that.

For podfic, I would be glad to receive a reading of any of my work, and I'd be equally happy to hear any story you think I would like based on the preferences listed above, provided you are able to get the author's permission.

If you would find more verse-specific prompts helpful, just ask the mods to ask me and I'd be happy to send you some optional prompts for any adaptation you may choose to create for, or just tell you some of my favorite things about that verse :) But of course also feel free to do your own thing!

Finally, a quick list of Do Not Wants: please avoid non-con/dub-con, infidelity, sex work/prostitution, dark!fic, the good guys torturing or killing bad guys, abortion or miscarriage, unhappy endings, incest, main character deaths.

Thank you very much, and wishing you a happy Holmestice!

Special requests: none

The Game is On!

Treat Preference: I'd be thrilled to receive any treats!

I will create:

A fanwork of the following type(s): fic

In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Sherlock BBC

For one or more of the following relationships: For romance: Sherlock/John. For non-romantic relationships/friendships: anyone in canon.

I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff, Angst (with a happy ending); Post-Reichenbach; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Friendship; Humor; First Time; Established Relationship; Missing Scenes

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: Alcohol/drug abuse; character death (not Sherlock, John, or Rosie Watson); does S4 count as a squick for some? I'm willing to write something S4-related, canon-based or canon-divergent. I'm also willing to write smut, but tucked into the story and not the focus of it.


I want to receive:

A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic, vid, podfic

In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Sherlock BBC, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/Anna Waterhouse "Mycroft Holmes" series

For one or more of the following relationships: For romance: Sherlock/John in BBC. For non-romantic relationships/friendships: anyone in BBC canon. For the Abdul-Jabbar/Waterhouse series, go wild- I'll take whatever you might come up with.

I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Angst (with a happy ending); Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Crossover; Friendship; Humor; Case Fic; First Time; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Established Relationship; Missing Scenes

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: Alcohol/drug abuse; character death (not Sherlock, John, or Rosie Watson). 

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I'm all about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, so I'd be happy with a fic centered on the two of them whether it be romantic or platonic. If romantic, I'd like a happy or at least hopeful ending; I'd prefer not to see them paired off with anyone else unless their own relationship prevails in the end. As for AUs, kidlock, parentlock, retirementlock...I'm in favor. If there's a trope out there, I probably love it. 

BBC: Character studies of Sherlock and John would be more than welcomed. I love both of these deeply flawed men and greatly enjoy reading different interpretations of how they come to be who they are. I'm also a total sucker for fics that delve into Sherlock and Mycroft's relationship. Anything featuring Sherlock, Mycroft, and John working together (or not so much) would be great as well. Baker Street domesticity is especially appealing too, but if you want to bring on the angst with Sherlock and John (given a happy ending), I'm up for that as well. I'm also fine with anything referencing S4, including Eurus.

If you'd rather focus on minor characters, I'd be happy with that too. I'm keen on backstories, especially first meetings. Sally Donovan and Greg Lestrade, Molly Hooper and the man on the slab in ASiP. Why did Anderson lead a Sherlock fan club and how did he get it started? How did Anthea become Keeper of The Coat during the Hiatus and where did she stash it? What was Ella Thompson thinking after her first session with John Watson?

Abdul-Jabbar/Waterhouse's Mycroft Holmes series: I've read all three books and absolutely love this series. I'm up for anything in this 'verse. Friendship, romance, missing scenes, AUs, anything.

For art: I'd love anything featuring the detectives at Scotland Yard or the Holmes brothers. Baker Street domesticity would be lovely as well, especially if it involves Sherlock and John cuddling. If you are okay with making art of any of my fics, I would be beyond thrilled.

For vids: I'd love something featuring the Holmes brothers and of course, you can never go wrong with Johnlock. I adore John Watson, so a John-centric vid would thrill me. Focusing on the minor characters is fine too. Crack, fluff, humor, angst...any and all is fine.

For podfic: Hearing any of my 221b ficlets read aloud would be amazing. So would any of my Holmestice gifts (with author permission of course).
 
Special requests: None! I'm happy this exchange is back and can't wait for all of the great works to come.
