Sign Ups Round 5 are now CLOSED
Gentlefans,
it's that time of the year again, when cabs clatter through the rain-soaked streets, the Irregulars are on the move (especially one of them, heh), Holmes and Watson are staying indoors solving crimes (amongst other pursuits) and crime is commonplace but logic israre much less fun .

Lj name:
email address: YouraddyATemailproviderDOTcom OR if you prefer not to put this in an open comment, please PM mods (tweedisgood, methylviolet10b or spacemutineer) with this information.
Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: e.g. fic, podfic, art, icons [minimum 10 icons please]. We have no minimum word limit for fics but something reasonably substantial, i.e. over 1,000 words, would be nice.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: - e.g. gen, het, slash, particular pairings/multiples, casefic, humour, h/c, angst, preferred tropes or kinks [please list], how high a rating will you go, etc: we encourage as much latitude as possible to make it easier to match and because variety is good.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: - as above
What you would like to receive: - type(s) of fanwork, preferences as above. If art, please do not specify only wanting your fic illustrated. Not all artists like to do that.
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: - exclusions as above
Any other information you would like to add:
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed:
Crossovers are welcome, but there must be majority ACD Holmes content, please.
Icons or macros - may be based on any of the original illustrations to the ACD stories - not just Sidney Paget's. Camden House has a very full collection.
For all other comm rules, please see the profile page.

no subject
email address: the mods know it ;-)
Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: Fic, probably in the 1-5k range.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: Gen, slash, or het; friendship fic; if working in pairings, Holmes/Watson or Watson/Mary are my comfort zones, but I'm willing to try others if I come up with a good plot. I enjoy writing about Lestrade, too. Case-fic, missing bits from canon, and I'd be happy to try my hand a a remix of the recipient's work, if that floats her boat. I'm fairly flexible, but I'm not particularly gifted at explicit anything, and I'm not a fan of non-con.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: Non-con, deathfics, PWP, heavy angst or "angst-lover" requests, torture porn (I don't mind inflicting whump in service of a plot, but pure whomp and nothing but isn't much fun)
What you would like to receive: Fic or art. If art, I'd be gobsmackingly happy if someone decided to illustrate something from one of my stories. :-) If fic, I adore casefic, missing-moments, slices of life, stories that showcase relationships. A little humor in the fic is always appreciated, although you don't have to make it a humor-only piece; I like a blend of humor and action and, well, see canon. ;-) All that being said, basically, go where your muse takes you, and I'll be happy.
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: Non-con, deathfics, PWP (porn in addition to plot is fine), torture porn (whump in service of plot is fine), infidelity fic, stories where anyone is being unnecessarily horrid to everyone, unhappy endings.
Any other information you would like to add: Really, as long as it's well-written or pretty to look at, I'm going to be happy.
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Hm. Quite possibly.
