How you got into Sherlock: A lot of my friends kept telling me to watch it after they saw the first episode. I watched the Blind Banker and was sort of; "Meh...this isn't for me." Then last December I decided to give it another go because I was on a bit of a Sherlock Holmes fix after watching the Guy Ritchie movie and Great Mouse Detective. Ten minutes into the first episode and I was in love.
Other adaptations you enjoy: Granada, Guy Ritchie, ACD!Canon, Great Mouse Detective and I am a little curious about Elementary, I have to admit.
Favourite Sherlock character(s)/pairing(s): Sherlock/John are my platonic OTP. I also like Lestrade/Molly and Jim/Seb.
A prompt you'd like to see filled: There was a prompt I remember seeing a while back that was about the whole "It's all a dream" trope except both Sherlock and John were hallucinating but they sort of made up this world together. And it turns out John is being tortured in Afghanistan and Sherlock is still a junkie but when they 'wake up' they find each other even though they haven't really met (or so everyone thinks).
Favourite episode and why: A Study In Pink. Because so many other Holmes/Watson adaptations I've seen usually have their relationship pre-established like Granada, Guy Ritchie, Basil Rothebone etc. While I love those versions of the characters as well, this Sherlock and John are the most precious to me because we get to see them meet and how they made each other happy when they were both so alone before.
Things you enjoy in fics: Hurt/comfort is my kink with an equal emphasis on both. In that order. I'm a bit of a sadist, I like to see a character brought to breaking point and then I love seeing them be put back together. I can never just leave them broken, I'm not that evil. :P I also love humour. I don't have many sexual kinks but when I do it depends on the pairing.
Other fandoms: Doctor Who, Supernatural, Misfits, Mass Effect, Ouran High School Host Club, Being Human, Star Wars, Red Dwarf, Black Books (some of these aren't fandoms, just other shows I like).
Non-fandom interests: Gaming, I have an 360 and a Wii. Jobseeking and my volunteer work takes up the rest of my time at the moment.
Five random facts about you: 5"5. An Essex girl who doesn't wear fake tan. Agnostic (sort of spiritualist). I can instantly know a quote from any episode of the Simpsons pre-1999. My first same-sex crush was one of the women who used to host Nickelodeon back when it was that sort of channel (I was 11).
Something you'd like to do this year: Get a decent job. Move out, preferably to London near my friends.
Anything else: Not much. I'm a bit of a loner but I do like to get to know people if they're willing to put up with me. Outside of fic, I'm more into vidding and if anyone wants to check out my channel on YouTube it's RoseNoir90. Shameless self-plugging is shameless.

I know how it is to look for a job! Was doing that till 3 weeks ago, and was overly depressed about everything ><
Hang in there, yeah?

What kind of volunteering do you do?
I am a volunteer for the British Red Cross in London, well, actually, I just started XD just finished all my training and have still to go out the first time >>

[lolofielding]

Thanks :) It can be incredibly depressing, I've reached a few low points over the past year. Not doing so bad at the moment.

I do three days a week at my local Age Concern UK charity shop. Been working there for almost a year now. Good luck on your first day at the Red Cross. Hope you enjoy it. :)

I know, I don't think I have ever been as low as I was then! But things get better eventually!
I think trying to find something in London is good, because there's so much going on here.
May I ask you what kind of job you are looking for?

Thank you! I am pretty sure I will >> unless they die on me >> that would not be good >>

If you need someone to complain with, or rant about Sherlock to, I am available <3
