I will create: fic
In the following parts of fandom: Elementary; Mary Russell
For the following pairings: Elementary: ambiguously platonic OTP Joan/Sherlock; happy to write about any of the other characters with or without pairings among them except Moriarty/anybody or Joan/Mycroft. Mary Russell: Russell/Holmes
I like working with the following categories: Gen, angst, hurt/comfort, domestic natterings, missing scenes & episode tags, backstory, futurefic, unhappy endings
I am willing to create for the following kinks: none

I want to receive: fic, podfic
In at least one of the following parts of fandom: Elementary; Mary Russell
For at least one of the following pairings: Elementary: My main interest is the Joan&Sherlock OTP, Gen or not. Other pairings are also fine, as long as they don't include Moriarty or Mycroft. Flashback to Sherlock/Irene is okay. Entirely Gen fic is also fine. Mary Russell: Russell/Holmes; Watson/Holmes (past); Russell/other. Perfectly fine if the pairing is in the background, not the focus of the story.
I like stuff in the following categories: Gen, het, slash; angst, asexuality, AU, dark, death (major or minor character), domestic natterings, explicit sexual content, hurt/comfort, happy and unhappy endings. Backstory & flashbacks make me SQUEE. Missing scenes and fix-it-fic are also great, as are explorations of the future.
I wouldn’t mind any of the following kinks: explicit sexual content, bdsm. reference to/details about off-screen or past abuse or violence is okay - just not center-stage please.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: If you'd like to make podfic I'd prefer it be one of my fics. I don't have a preference as to which (though I'd be interested in knowing why you chose the one you did).

This is by no means a requirement, but if you know ACD canon, I always enjoy having it worked into fic for other adaptations - everything from explicit retellings to old cases mentioned to character notes and details incorporated into ElementaryVerse or canon characters showing up in RussellVerse. Mostly, I adore learning something new about Watson and Holmes that fits with what's been shown on screen/in text. Did I mention my everlasting squee for backstory?

For Elementary, I don't enjoy Joan/Moriarty or anything that presents Moriarty as a sympathetic character without fully accounting for the destruction and death she orchestrates. Other things I love about the show and in fic: addiction/recovery themes, Joan remaking her life, Sherlock caring for/about Watson in healthy ways (as opposed to making her all about him), the two of them making sense as partners in ways nobody else quite gets, the brownstone, the bees. Having received/read some amazing fusions, I won't rule that out if that's what you want to write, but generally crossovers aren't my thing. Just please no mix with BBC Sherlock.

For Mary Russell, I take Russell as an extremely unreliable narrator, so I enjoy fic that explores/corrects/questions her version of events. Missing scenes are always welcome. I also don't like the books' dismissal of Watson, so fix-it fic for him is great. A jump into the future would be fun, given how slowly LRK moves through time with the novels, as would an exploration of Russell's intellectual life in Oxford.

Special requests: I'm a bad match for anyone who wants sexual content beyond a conservative "Teen" rating with any characters or overt romance/sex between Joan and Sherlock. Also not a good fit for Moriarty as a sympathetic/redeemed character or for pure casefic. My reaction to Joan/Mycroft or Joan/Moriarty is "this is not happening. this is not happening".
