Master Fic ListHonestly, I haven't written enough yet to merit one of these, but I'm told it's easier to start earlier than later. Honesty now compels me to admit that yes, I've probably produced enough stuff to make a fic list useful, if not exactly necessary. But it is certainly easier to start earlier rather than later. Usually my stuff is fairly mild, ratings-wise, and not likely to set anyone's hair on fire, but all things are subject to change, and please read the warnings. I hope you enjoy!
ACD-Verse:
- Taking the Steps (PG) What events might inspire Mycroft Holmes to climb a staircase?
- On Ilkley Moor (PG-13) Watson and Holmes struggle to make their way to safety while stranded alone and injured on the moor... An expansion of a drabble, written specifically for the Help_Japan effort at Watson's Woes.
- Holmesian Drabbles from the Second Prompts Table, posted in batches of five apiece. Updated on Tuesdays until I get through all 100 of them. Ratings vary by batch. Batch 1, Batch 2, Batch 3, Batch 4, Batch 5, Batch 6, Batch 7, Batch 8, Batch 9, Batch 10, Batch 11, Batch 12, Batch 13, Batch 14, Batch 15, Batch 16, Batch 17, Batch 18, Batch 19, Batch 20! I made it through all 100 prompts!

And you can find the FIRST reader-prompt table here: The Massively Awesome Reader Prompt Table (of DOOM!) And as it happens, these reader-provided words inspired not one, but two drabble series:
- The RETURN of Reader-Sponsored Drabbles: I ran out of words once. Then various readers came to my rescue, and lo, the return of Drabble Tuesday!
