I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: None, please
Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
Canon - I am eternally interested in some of the secondary characters, especially the myriad of Violets, Kitty Winter, Isadora Klein, Lestrade, Hopkins, all the Yarders together, Shinwell Johnson, Porlock... any of them. I love learning more about their inner world and what their life is like outside of the glimpses we see of them in the stories. I also enjoy these characters in relation to their relationships with Holmes and Watson over time. For art, I love seeing non-standard depictions of canon characters. Additionally, I've recently read the Peter Wimsey-Harriet Vane novels, and am fascinated by the idea of Wimsey and Holmes, in particular, meeting. Though if you could get all four in a room together that would be delightful. Oooo, what would BUNTER think of them all??
Mary Russell: I just... there is something that always brings me back to the Russell novels. They're such a comfort read for me. Mary is one of my favourite characters of all time (yes, yes, throw tomatoes all you want, I love her, though). I'd love to see more of Mary interacting with THE TWENTIES, because while we get glimpses here and there, and hilarious moments of her being very wrong-footed and uncomfortable in the set of folks who really got into The Roaring Twenties, I'd like to see her end up immersed in the glitzy glam jazz era side, and falling more into the darkness that the glitzy glam side is hiding. With or without Holmes, at that point, I just want her to have to reckon, full force, with the somewhat stereotypical, but very much real, Roaring Twenties. I’d also love someone to try to tackle the direction that the series has been moving recently, with Russell realizing her life is rather small and there is more out there, as well as her fallings out and loss of relationships.
Enola Holmes - Art of Enola as an adult would be cool, or of her and Lady Cecily. I'd also like to see her and the Watsons developing a friendship separate from Holmes. Also, relationship story of her and Lady Cecily – how do they meet again? How do they fall in love? What does their relationship look like?
Shelby Holmes – These are such sweet little stories. I’d love to see something slice-of-life for Shelby and John, maybe non-case related. And it would be cool to see Shelby’s nemesis come back in some way. Oh, and I want to see Lestrade and Shelby and John come to work together well at some point. I love in the third book Shelby ruminating on bullying and her own behaviour, and I'd love to see more of that. I haven’t yet read the fourth book, though I do own it. I also find the art style for these books absolutely charming.
Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer: A sweet little graphic novel that I’d love to see explored more. Do the people they encountered and brought together help with future investigations? What does their next investigation look like? Shirley apologized for her selfishness and made concessions – does Jamila have to adjust how she handles things going forward? Can Jamila ever get Shirley to play basketball with her??? Art of the two together would also be great – maybe of them hanging out together in one of their bedrooms?
Janet Watson Chronicles - I would love to see fanart for this book, either a scene from it or an imagined one. As for fic, I have no concrete ideas, I'd just like to see more of Janet and Sara and their relationship developing and getting healthier. I haven’t read the second book in the series yet, though, so keep that in mind if you write for this canon.
Mrs Hudson and Mary Watson Investigations – It makes me so sad that more people haven’t hopped on this series, given just how lovely it is. We’ve gotten some conversations between Holmes and Mrs Hudson in the series itself, acknowledging quietly what Mrs Hudson is doing, but what about Holmes and Mary? I’d love to see how Holmes approaches her, and how Mary reacts and handles him. I’d also enjoy seeing how Watson and Mary came to a decision where he would teach her medical stuff. And I’d love to see Mary, Mrs Hudson, and Irene team up once more.
Test of the Professionals – I love how Wilson writes Lestrade and the Yarders. Literally give me an entire story about the Yarders doing something together and I’d be over the moon. I owe my entire fascination with the Yarders to this series, and now I’m always craving more.
Rathbone & Bruce Radio series: This is one of my comfort series. The wine advertisements are my favourite part – my partner and I like to quote Petri wine adverts to each other. I’d love to see something in the script format or even, weirdly, a moment between Watson and Harry Bartell after they finish recording a show? Or Bartell visiting Watson and lo and behold, Holmes is there? I literally listen to this almost every night before I fall asleep because it’s just so silly and charming.
Bert Coules Radio Plays – I love everything that Coules did with both the canon and his extracanonical stories. I’d love some episode tags that build on some of the added moments. Or art based around some of those moments in the series would also be cool – especially if the moments were from the New Adventures.
Special requests: If I write for someone who wants ACD, please note that I much prefer to write secondary characters, not Holmes and Watson.
