I like that you didn't mindlessly conform to the suggestive layout of the questionnaire (like I did). And of course, Mycroft/John and omega!verse is always a good idea. I really shouldn't like the omega!verse stuff, but I do.

Friends?

High fives, new internet friend. And Omega!verse is awesome, if a little uncomfortable at times.

Name/nickname: Mandy.
Age: 33.
Location: East Texas.
How you got into Sherlock: I'd meant to watch it for ages, but seeing all my friends squeeing over how perfect it was sort of lit a fire in me and I finished all the episode within the last week/week & a half. And now I'm hooked beyond belief.
Other adaptations you enjoy: I've never actually seen and/or read any other adaptations. I'm not even sure I want to. How do you improve on perfection?
Favourite Sherlock character(s)/pairing(s): Sherlock, John, Sherlock/John. Yeah, I could just watch those two all day.
A prompt you'd like to see filled: I love good text fic and I've read some lovely ones in this fandom. I'd love to see them come to terms with their feelings for each other via texts over a certain number of days apart and then come back together and you know. Get together. ;)
Favourite episode and why: I can't pick a favorite. No possible way. There are moments in all of them -- yes, even that horrid one that I adore.
Things you enjoy in fics: I like seeing

How you got into Sherlock: Heard about it from a friend of a friend and decided to download series 1 a few weeks after it aired.
Other adaptations you enjoy: Granada and Russian Holmes are my other favourites but I hold a special spot in my heart for the Great Mouse Detective <3
Favourite Sherlock character(s)/pairing(s): John, Sherlock, Molly, Mycroft, actually I should just say ALL THE CHARACTERS. Sherlock/John, Mystrade, Irene/Molly, John/Mary, Moriarty/Moran, Sherlock/John/Mycroft, Sherlock/John/Lestrade (sup OT3's)
A prompt you'd like to see filled: most crossover fics, I'd especially love to see a Kingdom Hearts one (just because I've been listening to the soundtracks all week)
Favourite episode and why: A study in Pink because I love watching adaptions on how John and Sherlock actually met
Things you enjoy in fics: I'm a HUGE lover of crossovers and AU's. I'm also fond of character studies and of dysfunctional character backgrounds. Oh and I got a weakest for reading WIP's

How you got into Sherlock: i kept seeing it all over my friendslist, but it wasn't until an irl friend demanded for me to watch it it that i finally got around to it last summer. and the rest is benedict cumberbatch's chins history.
Other adaptations you enjoy: i actually only recently got around to reading the acd books, just finish the sign of four yesterday! and i love both rdj and jude law so fan of the movies too. *__* but fandom wise, sherlock bbc all the way.
Favourite Sherlock character(s)/pairing(s): i kind of love molly a lot. i think mycroft is a fantastic character. huge fan of john. sherlock is a dick but i love him anyway. i'm sure i'm missing people! and as for pairings, i stick mostly with john/sherlock.
A prompt you'd like to see filled: i should really browse the kinkmeme more because i can't but i could see this escalating into a really hilarious fic. :D also there was this prompt about peter guillam disguising himself as sherlock to flush out moriarty

Wow, how many Bio people do we have on here? Enzymology here! I have met several other Macro bio/ Biochem grad students on here. Goats are awesome, though mine are currently being assholes cause it's spring.

[augustbird]

hey that's awesome! what's your research in? i'm technically a biochemistry/chemistry major but the amount of chemistry i know is negligible haha. i do know how to run a western blot in my sleep though...

you have goats! i'm kind of jealous! as part of a farm or as pets? i've been situated in a city for the last couple of years so it's been a while since i've gotten in touch with nature/farmlike areas haha.

[spurandsaddle]

I am actually still an undergrad, though I don't feel like it. I am currently informally working in two labs, one working on enzyme kinetics, the other in protein folding (I just kinda kept showing up asking questions, then they started giving me stuff to do.). Between that, TAing some of the 100 level bio labs, and classes it's a bit nuts.

I'm a biochemical engineering major, though I want to end up in a cellular engineering program for my PhD. I am pretty set in my enzymes/proteins love though (they are so amazing! I want to learn everything about them!).

I have 3 pygmy goats. Ted, Tim and Larry. They are currently living on a farm since I am living in dorms. I go visit them and help out on weekends.

Age: 21

Location: Massachusetts, not Boston the other side (yes there is things in Mass besides Boston)

How you got into Sherlock: I read the books when I was 7-9. Last summer I had surgery and was stuck in bed all summer. It was on Netflix.

Other Adaptions: I really Enjoyed the RDJ movies. I felt like it updated Sherlock Holmes in making us feel a bit like the victorians would have felt about it. Gave it that little bit of racy edge that they original stories had that became quaint.

Other Fandoms: LoTR; DCUniverse; Classical History (I will write that Iliad cross over one day!); Avatar:Last Airbender; Star Trek (all of them); X-men; Star Wars; Dr.Who; Torchwood; Firefly; Harry Potter; Way to many other random ones to count.

I tend to write short stories, and only really post them to memes. Usually anon.

[poieisthai]

Oh my god an Iliad crossover. Classicist here would die of happiness.

[maggie_umbra]

Absolutely! I'd read that like it was written in Greek!
