Happy Valentines Day From Buff!

Reblog if you recognize pan/poly/demi/gray/asexual as legitimate sexualities

feel free to add more but i’m proving a point for the less recognized people

Random Round-Number Give-away! At the moment I unfortunately don’t have the means to actually send out gift-prizes, but a few people seemed interested in the idea of winning a custom fic. So that’s what you’re playing for – custom Sherlock fanfic! Yay?

How it Works:

You can enter the contest twice in total – one “like” and one reblog.

You must be following me.

After a week, I will use a random number generator and choose someone at random.

Winner and runner-ups will be contact, and they have three days to send me a prompt of their choice before I move on to the next person.I will write fic based on the prompt and post it – either on Tumblr or AO3.

Prizes: 1st – One fic of your prompting, 1000 or more words.  2nd – One fic of your prompting, 500 or more words. 3rd – One fic of your prompting, 250 or more words.

Please note: I have a habit of not actually being able to write short-fic, so you might end up with more.

What I Will/Won’t Write:

I’m currently only writing for the Sherlock fandom. 

My primary pairing is Sherlock/John.

I will not write Mycroft/Lestrade, or Moriarty/Moran.

I’m uncomfortable writing femslash/genderswap/explicit het. 

I’m mainly comfortable writing vanilla. (No BDSM or hard D/s, bestiality, omegaverse or hard kinks.)

I’m uncomfortable writing most kidfic (some exceptions – ask) or giving John and/or Sherlock (specifically) children.

I have a hard time with historical AUs or AUs that take the characters out of their environment. (I can give it a try – I just can’t guarantee quality.) Other AUs/magical realism-type stuff is fine.

If you have something specific in mind but are uncertain, please send me a signed-in ask.

START: Right now! WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Monday, July 22nd, 2013.

Help would be appreciated.

If any Star Trek fans could fill out my anonymous questionnaire (here), it would be greatly appreciated. It’s for a major assessment at school, so I would prefer if it were kept to serious responses. A summary of responses is provided upon completing the questionnaire, or may be seen here.

Thanks.

Hi all! I’m writing a paper for “Sherlock Holmes: Past and Present,” an academic conference being held next month in London. http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/ies-events/conferences/SherlockHolmes

Anyhoo, I’m writing about slash in the fandom and would love to include some data from...
