I am willing to create for the following kinks: None

I want to receive: Fic, vid, podfic, graphics, art
In at least one of the following parts of fandom: ACD canon, Granada, Russian Holmes, New Russian Holmes, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, The Great Mouse Detective, Young Sherlock Holmes, Asylum Holmes, Watson and Holmes (comic), Bert Coules radio adaptations, Rathbone films, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Ronald Howard adaptation, Murder by Decree, Elementary, Enola Holmes books, Irene Adler books, Mary Russell books, Basil of Baker Street (books), Honour Among Punks (graphic novel), Watson at War series, Boy Sherlock Holmes series… there aren’t too many pastiches I’m not familiar with, so if there is something not on my list that you really want to create for, go for it. I’m certain to be delighted.
For at least one of the following pairings: Holmes/Watson in any form. I like pairings involving secondary characters in any of the adaptations, though Elementary is the easiest to name (Alfredo/Ms Hudson; Ms. Hudson/Bell; Alfredo/Bell; Ms Hudson/Pam the Snow Plow Driver; etc.). I also like Enola/Lady Cecily, Irene/Penelope/Godfrey, stories where Mary Russell is explicitly bi and has relationships with any of the queer women in the text, and other such fun pairings. For Honour Among Punks, I like both Sharon/Sam as well as Sharon/Sue.
I wouldn’t mind any of the following kinks: No, thank you.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: In general, I like hurt/comfort, fluff, angst that is resolved, friendship, case!fic, character studies, missing scenes, backstory, and domesticity.

More specifically, I like fanworks where Watson is recognized as a valuable and competent partner to Holmes, so no Jam!Watson, please. I love the found families trope, so any use of that is bound to go over well. I prefer character-driven stuff on the whole. No character-bashing, please. For non-canon adaptations, I love it when elements of canon are woven in in new and different ways. Friendship and case!fic are awesome. I also love the minor characters in all of these adaptations, so fanworks that focus on them and their lives, with Holmes and Watson being secondary characters, are always great. And retirement!fic is a weakness.

I love minor and secondary characters (the Yarders, Ms Hudson, the Irregulars, any other minor characters in other adaptations), so using them to a fuller extent is always enjoyed. That being said, when it comes to Elementary, I do not particularly care for Mycroft, and would not like to see much focus on him.

I like fusions/crossovers between adaptations, where characters or plots or concepts mix and match. However, I do not want any fusions/crossovers with BBC Sherlock.

When it comes some specific fandoms that are a little more obscure:

Honour Among Punks: It kills me that the full storyline for the series was incomplete. Does anyone want to complete this? Alternatively, maybe a cute little slice-of-life like the one included in the collection.

Enola Holmes series: I really just want the story of how Enola reacted/coped during the Great Hiatus. Did she know the truth? Was she kept in the dark? What happened?

Ronald Howard adaptation: These two are just so cute. I love that they have some pretty adorable moments together, and would be interested in seeing more.

Boy Sherlock Holmes series: The series made me happy in many ways, but disappointed me in its inability to give me a more explicitly Jewish Holmes. I would like to see a story where Holmes actually engages in his Judaism, rather than have it be mentioned in the narrative from time to time.

Watson at War series: FIX IT FIC. The ending of the third book is… no. No no no. A fix is in order. Alternatively, parts of the third book from Holmes’ perspective? Or Holmes’ POV on the argument that sets them apart prior to book one?

I request that there be no explicit sexual content. Pairings are fine, but I like them romantic, not sexual.

No rape fic, please. I also cannot read stories with relationships between people with power differentials (boss/employee; student/teacher; etc).

Special requests: I really prefer to write gen fic.
