Yuletiiiiide!
October 18th, 2026 01:33 pmDear Yuletide writer – I love this fest and the spirit of rare weird shit that it embraces. It is my most favorite fannish event and I am 10000000% here for whatever you write. Below I have done some rambling about each fandom and given a handful of prompts, but honestly you should feel free to discard that stuff and write the story of your heart. I know I will love it.
Treats very welcome also.
( General likes, dislikes, and DNW )
Specific fandoms, in no particular order:
( The Reflex – Duran Duran (song) )
( Wanderstop (video game) )

Trying to Creep In Under the Wire
October 13th, 2026 09:39 pmName: EstelRaca everywhere you please
Contact email: estelraca@gmail.com
AO3 username: estelraca
Treat preference: I love treats and will comment on them, it just sometimes takes me a little time (see title of this post)
I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Doyle - Canon; The Seven-Percent Solution and others of Meyer's work; A Study in Emerald or anything else from Shadows Over Baker Street; Lindsey Faye's work; Enola Holmes book series; Pentecost & Parker series; Mycroft Holmes series; Bonnie MacBird Art in the Blood series; Mycroft Holmes series by Kareem Abdul Jabbar; if it's short enough to easily read in the time available and readily found, I am happy to read anything for Holmestice.
TV/Film: Granada TV Show; Ritchie Films; Rathbone Films; Miss Sherlock; Great Mouse Detective
Comics: Shirley & Jamil; Watson's Sketchbook; any others that are easily found (I love comics)
Other: Sherlock & Co podcast; Great Ace Attorney; Moriarty the Patriot; Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Holmes/Watson and Holmes & Watson are good across pretty much any adaptation (and expies thereof, eg Holmes/Mikotoba in Great Ace Attorney); also Mycroft & Sherlock (I love writing sibling interactions!); also Holmes/Watson/Mary, Holmes/Watson/Lestrade, Holmes/Watson/Mary/Lestrade; I am pretty much always down for writing gen fic, too, if anyone wants something focused on the Irregulars, Stanley Hopkins, etc.
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Case Fic; First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Sibling Relationships; Queer Characters
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: bdsm; bloodplay; torture; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; suicide; character death; child abuse; I am not the right person for writing incest, and while I can absolutely write noncon, I prefer not to write between requested romantic pairings (eg I am fine with dubcon Holmes/Watson if it's omegaverse, fuck or die, pon farr etc, and could quite easily write one of them being raped in the context of Villains Did It, but would not be comfortable writing noncon between Holmes and Watson)
I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic, vids, graphics
In one or more of the following parts of fandom:
Books: Canon; The Seven-Percent Solution and other Meyers work; A Study in Emerald and anything else from Shadows Over Baker Street; Lindsey Faye's work; Art in the Blood series by MacBird; Mycroft Holmes series by Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Rathbone Films; Miss Sherlock; Great Mouse Detective
Comics: Shirley & Jamila; Watson's Sketchbook
Other: Sherlock & Co podcast; Sherlock Holmes: Chapter one and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened; The Great Ace Attorney
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: If you wanted to write me some Mycroft & Sherlock fic, in pretty much any of my requested fandoms, I would absolutely love it! Them as children; them as young adults pursuing their respective careers; them working a case together; them trolling each other (the radio play with Rathbone where Mycroft sends Sherlock to solve a murder because he Doesn't Want To and Thinks There's Spies, and John ends up arrested? Beautiful sibling behavior); them talking during the world wars; one mourning the other! I love anything with the brothers.
That being said, I also love Holmes &/ Watson to pieces. I love them as platonic best friends; as queerplatonic partners; as full on queer love story dodging the blow-back of their time period. I also love seeing takes on polycules involving them, whether it's Holmes/Watson/Lestrade, or Holmes/Watson/Mary (or Holmes/Watson/Mary/Lestrade, let's go for broke!).
Case fic is great. Relationship fic is great. Making something Wild and Fun is great. Eldritch horror is great. Werewolves are always a huge draw.
I like stuff in the following categories: Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Crossover (especially between various Holmes canons!); Friendship; Case Fic; First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence; Bondage; Surgery; Watson Is a Competent Doctor
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: dubcon; non-con/rape (so long as it is not between a requested romantic relationship); bdsm; bloodplay; torture (no one has managed to squick me! Not a challenge, just, if you've wanted to write something gory and dramatic? Go for it!); domestic abuse (not between requested relationships); alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; suicide; character death; child abuse
Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: My only hard Do Not Want is incest between the Holmes siblings. If writing child death/rape; animal death/rape, especially pets; or a completely hopeless ending, please warn for it, as these can be triggering to me. I will still read, I just need to be in the right headspace.
For canon, Meyers, Faye, Mycroft Holmes, and Granada: I love more like the cases we see. I love relationship building. I love people taking these details and throwing them in a blender with their own favorite genre (werewolf Watson is a favorite of mine, but I love seeing other people make AUs!). I love extrapolation of queerness into the canon and canon-typical stories.
For Miss Sherlock: I really loved this delightful mess! They clearly wanted/expected a second season; want to extrapolate how it goes? Want to delve into how Sherlock got her name? Want to give me more of the delightful sibling relationship? Give Wato-san some closure? Have Wato-san and Sherlock figure out a romantic relationship? I would be down for any and all of this.
For Chapter One and The Awakened: My eldritch horror babies! I love this Sherlock, with his youth, his fear of water, his fear of hereditary insanity, his autistic swagger that has netted him one (1) friend! Jonathan is fascinating. Mycroft and Sherlock need to get a chance to fix their relationship. Mycroft needs to experience The Horrors. Sherlock and John need to have more eldritch adventures. Sherlock should do more magic and bleed from his eyes.
For A Study in Emerald: I would loooove to see what more of the canon characters are up to. Where's Mycroft? Where's Irene Adler? Show me more of the Restorationists! Let John write more plays! Do more with the hints that Moriarty can see other universes and their roles in those. I would love any of it.
For Rathbone Holmes: I love the accidental hint that they're immortal; if you want to run with that, have fun! Otherwise giving Watson WWI trauma. Giving them more backstory; giving them more front story after World War II! Giving this universe a Mycroft!
For Great Ace Attorney: I just want to see Holmes and Mikotoba have a good ending. I love everyone else in these crazy games (Kazuma needs so much therapy, and I love that he's messy and complicated, and so is Barok, and neither of them asked for these scars but they still have to carry them), but since we're focusing on Holmes for Holmestice: adapting more canon stories to this universe! Letting Holmes explore Japan!
For Moriarty the Patriot: I honestly would mostly want to see more of Mycroft here. I ship him with Albert. I'm fascinated by this family history; by his relationship with Sherlock; by his place in creating MI6.
For Great Mouse Detective: I love Basil and Dawson. There is not enough of them in the world, or of their little mouse society. What war was Dawson fighting? What comes next for them? Dawson deserves to cuddle Basil.
For Shirley & Jamila: More canon adventures adapted for children! If they managed it with Charles Augustus Milverton, it can be managed wtih anything! Alternately, the girls all grown up.
For Watson's Sketchbook: I love the queerness here! More of that? More delving into the changes, such as Holmes shooting Milverton directly, or Holmes' suicidality?
For Sherlock & Co: I would love to see something with Sherlock/John/Mariana as a queer trio, be it a full polycule, queerplatonic, what have you.
For those not writing fic: I am terrible at giving prompts! I love non-fic mediums but cannot do any of them! I have a lot of fic if you want to draw something? But also I will love anything you create for me, so if you're inspired by my ramblings above, go, be free!
General Things I Like: Queerness. Historical accuracy. Alternately, very deliberately throwing historical accuracy out the window because Steampunk or Werewolves or They're Mice; commit to a bit and I am along for the ride happily. Blood. Medical adventures, including surgery (nothing so intimate as one's hands in another's body). Heartbeats. Werewolves! Fae. Wings and wingfic. Interactions with gods. Eldritch horror. Body horror. Pregnancy, including mpreg, including omegaverse. Aliens. Alien biology. Playing with biology! Hair washing. Cuddling. Tender care. Care tailored to an individual person, which may not seem tender but is full of love. Friendships. Time travel/time loops.
Special requests: I've loved every time participating and am very much looking forward to seeing what you give me this time!

Denning); A Night in the Lonesome October (Zelazny); The Irregulars; Sherlock & Co podcast, Victorian Undead comics, Sherlock Holmes & the Servants of Hell (Paul Kane), The Seven-Percent Solution (Meyer), The Sexual Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Townsend), Moriarty: Hound of the D'Urbervilles (Newman), Dust and Shadow (Faye), The Angel of the Crows (Addison) and likely lots of others - try me!

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I'm pretty flexible. I love a good casefic, but I'm equally happy with a warm PWP. Remixed canon stories in AU verses are always welcome. Character voice matters more to me more than plot really. I do love a good magical or fantasy or SF AU. I'm just happy to see these characters in a new light, doing their thing in an unexpected way. I'm always up for travel stories. Whether it's solving a weird mystery or exploring a new kink or taking care of each other in some especially them kind of way, I'm here for it. I love seeing alternate points of view and subversive views of canon.For art, anything on the themes listed above - atmospheric, sexy, funny, whatever strikes you. I love romantic settings, intimacy, costumes. Also fond of spooky. I would especially love art for any of my fics or any of the lesser-known book canons I’ve listed here - or even some I didn't, I'm an adventurous adventuress. For podfics, any of mine that you like, no restrictions. For music, surprise me!
DNW (creating or receiving): Non-con, graphic torture, graphic child or animal abuse (sexual or not), major (permanent) character death, bleak hopeless endings
Special requests: None

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson - Apt. 2B: Assuming it’s not currently playing in a theatre near you, you can buy the script here for US$10. I recommend skipping the Playwright’s Notes until you’ve read it through, they contain a major spoiler. F!Holmes and F!Watson in 2021! Fun/ny! Meta references! Sherlock being brilliant, bizarre, and emotionally stunted! Convoluted dramatic showdown with quintuple crossings! Gay kissing!
Fic ideas:
*Sherlock being made unambiguously aroace (whether or not anyone around knows the words)
*Joan realizing she really was jealous of Irene (and it being requited or not)
*Joan & Sherlock becoming closer
*More of whatever the frig was going on with Sherlock & Irene
*The sequel that was cruelly set up but will never happen
All purpose likes/prompts:
*epistolary, 5+1, experiments with style & format
*Meta (as in commentary or as in referencing the Sherlock Holmes multiverse)
*Sherlock being abrasive, solitary, super smart
*Relationships that are unconventional, complex, difficult to define, involve competing needs, require negotiation, that revolve around shared interests, that are extremely strong
*metamours Sherlock & Mary getting along so well it's scary
*TGG/TFP-esque convoluted scenarios by Moriarty/other villains
*forced to make difficult choices that have no get-out-of-jail-free, best-of-both-worlds escape hatch
*Jo(a/h)n confronting Sherlock’s enemies
*Going through hell with or for each other
Vid likes/prompts:
Loving, understated, heartbreaking, opinionated, euphoric, we’re-adrenaline-junkies-and-never-gonna-die… Also, vids that either work with the lyrics to show why the song is a great fit to the canon, or pointedly interpret either the lyrics or visuals differently than the artist intended. Special effects, experiments with the possibilities of the medium.
I love being introduced to new music via fanvids. Or taking an already popular song and tricking me into associating it with the vid & fandom in the future. I don’t listen to much music otherwise and the only thing that really unites my taste is that I like when it’s easy to make out the lyrics. If you’re really looking for ideas, artists I have been known to return to include Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, The Ark, Carbon Leaf, and The Longest Johns.
Music likes/prompts:
Cozy or angsty or adrenaline-filled vibes... Songs that tell a self-contained story... As far as I can tell, fan music seems to have dropped off even more dramatically than other mediums after S2, it would be cool to get something that references the later seasons (or Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson)!
DNW: PWP (explicit content is fine, just not as the sole focus), gore, Mary portrayed as worse than John & Sherlock, Sally portrayed as worse than Sherlock, canon negativity
