Lj name
email address YouraddyATemailproviderDOTcom OR if you prefer not to put this in an open comment, please PM mods with this information.
Type of work(s) you are willing to offer e.g. fic, art, icons [minimum 10 icons please]. If fic, *rough* idea of how long it is likely to be, e.g. under 1000 words, 1000 to 5000, over 5000 [blimey]. We have no minimum word limit for fics but something reasonably substantial 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], 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
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

Crossover fic and art is welcome, but there must be substantial ACD Holmes content, please.
Icons - 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

ETA the WONDERFUL Banner by mistyzeo. Will be spreading this far and wide asap.

Thanks! It's been a very long time since I ran one of these, so any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: Art using traditional media, most likely will be in black and white.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: I am most interested in depicting Holmes/Watson in any timeline during the canon (ie early stories, retirement, etc), and with any rating, however, I consider myself better with depicting fluffy schmoop rather than explicit NC-17 scenes.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: mpreg, character death, non-con/dub-con, violence/gore, infidelity or any overly kinky or smutty sexual scenes. (I'm pretty vanilla).
What you would like to receive: Fic or Art depicting Holmes/Watson schmoopy, fluffy retirement times! Something conveying the feeling like: "hey, we had a pretty awesome life together!"
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: exclusions as above.
Any other information you would like to add: Yay! A chance to be creative!
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: As much as I would like to, I don't think my schedule will allow it, sorry!
