I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: None, generally, but I don’t mind a passing reference to pretty much anything if it serves the story you want to tell.

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

I'm pretty darn easy to please. :-) If you enjoyed the process of making it, I know I'll enjoy receiving it! As you can tell, I've got a passion for obscure small Holmesian fandoms, and I've always been a fan of what I call “Crack Treated Seriously” – a seemingly crackfic premise that's then given a thoughtful, in-depth treatment.

But that doesn't mean you have to go in the silly direction, or choose the silly fandoms! I'll be equally delighted to receive something earnest and full of heart. I love characters who look out for each other, and found families, and what I think is termed “loyalty kink” – like a Holmes and Watson who are ride-or-die for each other no matter what Holmesian universe they're in.

I usually give way too much detail for each individual fandom, so I'm going to skip that this time, but if you want to know more about what I like about any one of these individual 'verses, feel free to ask via the mods and I will happily burble at you about them. (Especially if you want to hear my thoughts about the A Study in Charlotte books, where my interest is mostly in what the series *could* have been, instead of what it ended up being...)

Special requests: Give me the weird and obscure ones, you know the drill ;-)
