I like stuff in the following categories: Gen, het, slash; angst, AU, crack, crossover, dark, death (major or minor character), explicit sexual content, fluff, graphic violence/torture, hurt/comfort, kid!fic, schmoop, songfic, unhappy endings

I wouldn’t mind any of the following kinks: explicit sexual content, graphic violence/torture, incest, sex without condoms/lube, virgin sex

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

I'm not big on PWPs - sexual content is fine but I'd like something which is plot or character focussed rather than mainly sex focused. I'm not a big fan of total woobie Sherlock - which doesn't mean he can't have angst, just as long as he keeps his spine and the charming but selfish streak we know and love.

I love John Watson so something centered on him would be amazing. I also love fics that take secondary or little known characters and flesh them out. I like Sally Donovan a lot and would love to see a sympathetic/ nuanced take on her. I also have a soft spot for Soo Lin, and fic where she doesn't die. I like fic that focuses on character's pasts and sibling relationships too. I adore dramatic irony, epistolary fics (including fics told via texts and emails), fics that play with chronology and reality/fantasy such as coma fic, amnesia fic, dream based fic etc etc. Dark fic is fine, and happy endings not essential (though I do enjoy fluffy fic too). In essence though, I'm not fussy at all, if you have an idea lined up please do feel free to run with it and I'll look forward to seeing the results.

Some more specific prompts, in case you want inspiration:

A fairy or folk tale retelling. A rare or unusual tale or a tale that's local to where you are would be amazing!

Take two canon characters who've never met on page or on screen (for example, Mycroft and Sholto, Soo Lin and Molly, Sally Donovan and Irene) - what would happen if they were introduced?

Something based in this: http://cherrytide.tumblr.com/post/98727637416/notmydate-if-you-watch-this-show-carefully

Speed dating.

ACD specific:

Something featuring the Baker Street Irregulars.

Bizarre crossover idea! Somehow or other, Holmes and Watson end up adopting a young Harry Potter and teaching him the detective arts.

For podfic or art, it would be great to see something based on one of my fics, my AO3 ID is mentioned above.

Special requests: I'm not a big writer of explicit fic or PWP so if someone is very set on receiving such, I'd probably not be the person to pair with them.
