Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: Fic, I generally write in the 5k range, little under or a little over depending.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: gen, het, and slash. Holmes/Watson is my OTP, but I'm also cool with just about any pairing but Holmescest, I even did a Holmes/Hudson upon request once and I had NEVER considered that before. No good at original casefic, but happy to write in and around a canon case. Work best with a prompt to get me going, but not necessary. Can do angst, but I'm not particularly funny. Can do simple sweet, but also dark and twisted. Kinks don't bother me, but I'd rather they not be the focus of what I'm asked to write.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: No Holmescest portrayed in a positive light please! And no fic primarily focused on a specific kink, background kink totally ok. Other than that, I'm game.

What you would like to receive: Fic please! Holmes & Watson oriented. While they don't have to be together in a sexual sense, I do believe they are devoted to one another and that Mary Morstan, while loved by Watson, was a bit of a second fiddle. My favorite character is Watson and I prefer his POV. Casefic isn't necessary, but I do love catching references to canon. I often feel that fandom and Holmes adaptations simplify Watson for the sake of complicating Holmes. I really feel that ACD as his editor, edited a lot of Watson out of the stories and I really enjoy an exploration of him, his roles in their relationship, and his rather complicated nature. What made him stick by Holmes's side for decades, yet marry at least once (and perhaps as many as 3 times)? Why did he consider himself a doctor at all times, yet clearly his profession was immortalizing Holmes? And why those particular cases for the Strand? So on and so forth.
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: I'm not a kinky person.
Any other information you would like to add:
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Absolutely!
