Half the challenge of this nowadays is editing the formatting (as a possible future thing, if it's possible to create an alternate template formatted with "Markdown" syntax, that would be Very Useful, very possibly to more people than just me).

I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: Anything not in my DNWs is fair game in the service of angst :)

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson - Apt. 2B: Assuming it’s not currently playing in a theatre near you, you can buy the script here for US$10. I recommend skipping the Playwright’s Notes until you’ve read it through, they contain a major spoiler. F!Holmes and F!Watson in 2021! Fun/ny! Meta references! Sherlock being brilliant, bizarre, and emotionally stunted! Convoluted dramatic showdown with quintuple crossings! Gay kissing!
Fic ideas:
*Sherlock being made unambiguously aroace (whether or not anyone around knows the words)
*Joan realizing she really was jealous of Irene (and it being requited or not)
*Joan & Sherlock becoming closer
*More of whatever the frig was going on with Sherlock & Irene
*The sequel that was cruelly set up but will never happen

All purpose likes/prompts:
*epistolary, 5+1, experiments with style & format
*Meta (as in commentary or as in referencing the Sherlock Holmes multiverse)
*Sherlock being abrasive, solitary, super smart
*Relationships that are unconventional, complex, difficult to define, involve competing needs, require negotiation, that revolve around shared interests, that are extremely strong
*metamours Sherlock & Mary getting along so well it's scary
*TGG/TFP-esque convoluted scenarios by Moriarty/other villains
*forced to make difficult choices that have no get-out-of-jail-free, best-of-both-worlds escape hatch
*Jo(a/h)n confronting Sherlock’s enemies
*Going through hell with or for each other

Vid likes/prompts:
Loving, understated, heartbreaking, opinionated, euphoric, we’re-adrenaline-junkies-and-never-gonna-die… Also, vids that either work with the lyrics to show why the song is a great fit to the canon, or pointedly interpret either the lyrics or visuals differently than the artist intended. Special effects, experiments with the possibilities of the medium.
I love being introduced to new music via fanvids. Or taking an already popular song and tricking me into associating it with the vid & fandom in the future. I don’t listen to much music otherwise and the only thing that really unites my taste is that I like when it’s easy to make out the lyrics. If you’re really looking for ideas, artists I have been known to return to include Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, The Ark, Carbon Leaf, and The Longest Johns.

Music likes/prompts:
Cozy or angsty or adrenaline-filled vibes... Songs that tell a self-contained story... As far as I can tell, fan music seems to have dropped off even more dramatically than other mediums after S2, it would be cool to get something that references the later seasons (or Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson)!

DNW: PWP (explicit content is fine, just not as the sole focus), gore, Mary portrayed as worse than John & Sherlock, Sally portrayed as worse than Sherlock, canon negativity

For podfics, any of mine that you like, no restrictions. For music, surprise me!

DNW (creating or receiving): Non-con, graphic torture, graphic child or animal abuse (sexual or not), major (permanent) character death, bleak hopeless endings

I especially like confessions of unusual kinks and partners embracing them fully.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I would love me some Viclock for Sh&Co, especially with him returning to London present day. (I headcanon his as an allo/ace relationship that they didn’t know how to navigate yet, but do what feels right to you…one of them could have not been in a good space for a relationship. Rather not see cheating) Also happy to see a Reichenbach interpretation! I do not like amnesia fics of misunderstanding tropes, or anything where people are not believed/gaslighting. No DV or any abuse between any main characters but can be in the story elsewhere. I love retirement in any universe that doesnt have retirement yet. Really, just make it creative and different from a typical episode and expand on the existing dynamic and I will be thrilled. Also, anything involving a continuation or reinterpretation of one of my fics in *any* format is always amazing!

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
I am a big fan of alternative universes, so if you feel like writing something like that please go wild (time travel, fantasy, science-fiction, ... all amazing). I think it would be fascinating to have some more wild AUs for Sherlock & co or even Granada. No matter if it is a casefic or a slice of (AU) life. Maybe a little bit of angst to spice things up.

I also generally love feel-good fics, where Holmes and Watson are just domestic and happy together, maybe coming down after an exhausting case or a retirement fic. Extra points for some aro/ace and/or trans/gender-non-conforming headcanons. That could be very lovely.

Some Angst (maybe Reichenbach Fall/Final Problem) especially for Sherlock & co would also be amazing because I have a feeling that this is the direction we are heading towards. If you want to give it a happy ending, I would be forever grateful!

Oh, or maybe something that is focusing on the Baker Street Irregulars, no matter what adaptation. Maybe they are helping to solve a case or they get annoyed by the forever-pining adults and take matters into their own hands ... maybe some grown-up Irregulars who are visiting retired Holmes and Watson in the countryside?

I love London as a character, gloomy/rainy atmosphere, spookiness. Please nothing overtly sexual if you're doing Rathbone and Bruce(those are my parents!). With BBC Sherlock, if there is a sexual power imbalance, I much prefer top!John.

I have no idea how to request music, but I have faith!

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
ACD-Canon: I've recently become obsessed with Canon-era stuff that deals with the peril involved with confessing attraction to another man, so something like Holmes or Watson (maybe especially Holmes?) deciding to take a huge leap of faith and confess his romantic/sexual affections after a moment of high drama. It would be especially interesting if Holmes' return is what prompts this.
Elementary: I think Gregson and Sherlock should have some kind of strange situationship going on.
BBC Sherlock: Holmescest that leans into what might have driven them together, mentioning Eurus is optional but if you can make her interesting that'd be amazing.
Johnstrade where they're both using each other as poor substitutes for Holmes.
Enola Holmes: Either some kind of Enola pov shenanigans fic, or what it must be like for Holmes to have a sister like her (with possible bonus background Holmes/Watson preferred)
For more obscure canons, like Servants of Hell: I'm interested in what a Holmes/Watson relationship might look like in that context.

All of this to say, I'm actually pretty open to receiving anything that isn't un-tagged major character death, so feel free to match me with someone you're struggling to match with.

My own major major do not wants are
-piss/shit/general bodily fluids
-vomit
-transphobic language used in a non-con context

Treat preference: I suppose so? Sure!

I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic! I'm afraid I'm no good at art, so I will stick to fic.
In one or more of the following parts of fandom:Books: Doyle - Canon TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Elementary; Livanov/Solomin Russian Holmes; She Comics/radio/other: N/A
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Oh gosh, I'm okay with working with a lot of everything! I'm cool with doing Holmes/Watson, Holmes & Watson as just a friendship, Watson/Mary, so I'm not too squicked out by relationships.
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Humor; Case Fic; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Mystery
With any of the following ratings:1) suitable for general audiences; 2) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 3) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: Oh jeez, I'm not really into Explicit fics/smut, so I'm not willing to create anything smutty/kinky, apologies! I am okay with getting into some mature territory though, so I can cover some things like abuse, heavy angst, murder, and things like that. I'm also okay with exploring some sad territory with Reichenbach too(depression and what not)



I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic, art, podfic(though I'd really love a fic! Never had a podfic before, either, so that'd be delightful)
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Canon TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Elementary; Livanov/Solomin Russian Holmes
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Holmes/Watson, Holmes & Watson, Watson/Mary
I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Humor; Case Fic; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Mystery; Emotional Hurt/Comfort
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 3) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature theme
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: Again, I'm not really into kink/explicit things, so please don't give any of that to me. I'm okay with some of the mature things that I'm willing to create, like Reichenbach Angst.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: Your more elaborate prompt goes here.

Oh boy! I love love love case fics! I find them so fascinating, and I love getting to solve the mystery alongside the boys. I'm also especially fond of AUs for Holmes and Watson, like anything supernatural or magical/folklore or even sci-fi, I don't mind at all(I'd absolutely adore an Urban Fantasy Holmes!), so really, no AU is too bonkers for me. I am also probably the world's biggest sucker for 'The Adventure of the Dancing Men', so I will literally come running if it has anything to do with that story.

I'm also oddly fond of the idea of Holmes and Watson doing their thing in another country? So if that gives anything else, I hope that helps.

Oh! I also love Gothic literature(My area of study is fin-de-siecle Gothic Literature), and I have a fascination with the Victorian spiritualist movement, so anything during the 1890s is a winner for me too.

As for triggers/hard nos: Explicit/smut fics. They're just not for me. Also nothing to do with like. Graphic death or anything like that. I am also really not fond of miscommunication/betrayal, nor am I of hypnotism/mind control. I... don't know how that'd pop up in a Holmes fic, but I figured I'd cover my bases.

So to clean this up a little and TLDR it(Love/Would NOT Love)
-Anything having to do with 'The Adventure of the Dancing Men'
-Urban Fantasy AUs(And AUs in general, go nuts!)
-Case Fics
-Holmes and Watson on a case or on a vacation that turns into a case in another country
-Anything Gothic, related to the 1890s Spiritualist movement/fin-de-siecle era
Absolutely not:
-Explicit/Smut fics
-Graphic, violent death or murder
-Miscommunication/Betrayal of friendship or love
-Anything with hypnosis or mind control(gives me the biggest ick)
-Graphic Medical scenes(Something like... the flu is fine. Don't give me graphic depictions of surgery mid-fic.)

Special requests: This is my very first time signing up for Holmestice, so I don't think so? Can't wait to work with you all! (I also do the Holmes December Calendar Challenge on FFN, so this is exciting.) Also I'm more well versed in Book/Granada than I am Soviet Holmes and Elementary, so I'd prefer the former rather than the latter.

Treat preference: Yes please <3

I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic, artwork
In one or more of the following parts of fandom:
ACD Canon; Gillette play; Granada; Ronald Howard Holmes tv series; The Great Mouse Detective; My Dearly Beloved Detective; Coules BBC Radio series; Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century; Rathbone Films or radio; The Great Mouse Detective

For one or more of the following characters or relationship
s: I love 'em all, honestly. I don't have any strong shipping preferences, and I'm generally most drawn to exploring dynamics between characters that aren't focused on the 'getting together' bit (established couple, family, friends, qpps, mentor/mentees, enemies, rivals...)

I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a happy ending, Established Relationship, Sickfic, Friendship, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Speculative Fiction elements, Crack treated absolutely seriously.

With any of the following ratings:
General Audiences, Teen And Up Audiences, Non-sexual mature themes.

I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks
:None

I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic

In one or more of the following parts of fandom: ACD Canon, Granada, Ronald Howard tv series, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Rathbone Films or radio.

For one or more of the following characters or relationships:
I'm open to anything, Holmes and Watson are always wonderful, and I also love explorations of the wider cast and more obscure characters.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
  • Time travellllll
  • Holmes having a childhood which isn't completely dire. There's a tendency to assume that Holmes must have had a very traumatic or lonely childhood, so I like takes which explore him perhaps going through hardships a probably neurodivergent kid was going to have in that time period, but also having support.
  • Anything Mycroft, I just love me some Mycroft. 
  • Explorations of side characters from the canon. I like "Whatever happened to X client/character?" stories. 
  • I love slightly out-there speculative fiction or magical realism takes on the characters.
  • That robot from 22nd Century. The entire concept of him just fascinates me. If you've ever wanted to write some slightly angsty robot fic, this is your excuse to do it :D
  •  Silliest idea ever but if anyone fancies exploring the framing device of the Rathbone radio show where Watson is apparently living in California with a bunch of puppies and he has a close friend who really loves Petri brand wine, that would be amazing. Where is Holmes? How did Watson meet this wine fiend?!

Special requests: Nothing which focuses too much on physical relationships please - it's just not my jam. Kisses/hugs/physical intimacy is fine, just no extended sexy scenes please <3
