Type of work(s) I am willing to offer: fic or podfic
What I am comfortable working with as a creator: gen, het, femslash, slash, poly. Ratings up through Mature (although there's an outside chance of producing porn, if the muses and my match agree). Hurt/comfort, humour, slice-of-life, relationship negotiations, canon divergence, SF-nal AUs. I'm especially happy to write the minor characters of canon.

What I would definitely prefer NOT to work with: Depression, suicide, drug addiction, homophobia, Moriarty, kidfic.

What I would like to receive: fic, art, or podfic. As far as ships go, I'm flexible: any permutation of Holmes, Watson, and Mary as pleases you (including pairs or ampersands); femslash is excellent; gen is always enjoyed. I'm fond of Holmes and Watson, if that's your preference, but would be thrilled to see the minor characters of canon brought into POV position; I'm also down with Original Characters, in either ship-fic or gen-fic. Genderswap is also good (cis or trans are equally pleasing to me). I enjoy the conceit that Watson is a lying liar who lies -- feel free to tell/show me what really went down. I'd also be happy with an SF-nal adventure -- everything is better with dinosaurs, is it not?

I'm fond of Mary and believe she and Watson were genuinely in love; please don't make her a literary fiction or a beard. I'm a big fan of people loving each other generously and to the very best of their ability (however flawed that ability may be). As much as I like getting-together fic, I adore established relationships and the accumulated history and weirdnesses of people who have been together forever. I'm generally fine with heavy themes, but I firmly believe that people are incredibly resourceful at scrabbling together some happiness for themselves -- please leave your characters a path to happiness, even if they're only just starting down it.

No rating above Mature, please, and no ending grimmer than bittersweet.

If you're arting or podficcing and you'd like to take one of my stories for a spin, please feel free. (But don't feel you have to, either!)

What I would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: Suicide, non-con, child abuse, torture, or unrelieved suffering. Homophobia or transphobia as the thematic center of the work. Mary as a literary fiction or a beard.

Any other information you would like to add: None.

Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: No, sorry.
