I really enjoy these comparisons. I have only begun to reap the rewards of fan fiction post-S4, as I am desperate for MORE Sherlock and there is no guarantee of future series. Fascinating to see how A03 has trended over time. Thanks.

Thank you!!  I missed this reply at first, but really appreciate the feedback.  And may all of (y)our fanfic and canon desires be fulfilled!  <3

obviously the "top" fandom is the one that penetrates the "bottom" fandom during anal sex. ;)

Ooh, ugh. Thanks for reminding me why I like hard-wired things. The IOT isn't all it's cracked up to be; sometimes it seems it's just cracked.

Ugh, yeah. I still haven’t figiured out what happened or how to definitively turn off access to the damn things.  At least bluetooth has a very short range...  Thanks also for the sympathy, @anonsally @goblinhorde @mugenmine !

awww. Poor Bennet. Mirrors are very confusing.

They are!  Especially when there are multiple of them at angles to one another, as in my bathroom.  Though she also gets confused by empty corners in ways I don’t understand...

Perhaps she sees something we do not. Perhaps rename her Alice? :P

Hee!  New nickname!!

8 minute window

Approaching the end of my 15 day work week! It ends with 28 hours in LA that culminates in 8 minutes of actual work, 4 of which will be absolutely terrifying. Seriously though, 8 fucking minutes... Then right back on a plane home, one day off then back to work!

mugenmine replied to your post “my mom just asked if I knew what bdsm meant omfg. I said if she wanted...”

Yikes! How did that even come up in conversation?

She was actually talking to my dad about how this article she was reading had all these acronyms in it like NPH and NSFW and how she didn’t know what any of them meant and wasn’t going to look it up because she can’t be bothered (not like in an awful way she’s just like that about certain things haha) and it annoyed her and they never did that when they were younger, and I kind of butted in and told her what most of them meant and she was like ‘well how are we expected to know what they all mean??’ XD And she was like ‘okay, it’s like a little game to you now is it?’ and I was like ‘yep’ haha and then later she was like ‘okay here’s another one. do you know what bdsm means?’ and then that happened XD

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

150*

2. What’s your current AO3 wordcount?

919,916, though that’s not all the fic I’ve ever written. The true total would be somewhere north of 1m words.

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Game of Thrones (TV) (40)

Stargate Atlantis (29)

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling��(28)

Once Upon a Time (TV) (15)

The Devil Wears Prada (2006) (1)

Xena: Warrior Princess (1)

Which comes to 29 all up, but getting rid of a couple of the umbrella ones, I make it 26 actual fandoms.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Personal Touch (Game of Thrones, Jaime/Brienne) A Fine Romance (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Newt/Tina) A Night to Remember (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Phryne/Jack) In Whisky Veritas (Harry Potter, Snape/Hermione) More Than a Memory (Game of Thrones, Jaime/Brienne)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not.

Nearly always. I view fic as part of the fannish conversation, and comments are a response to the conversation about the characters that I’ve started by writing and posting the fic, so of course I want to continue that exchange by responding. Occasionally comments get away from me because of stuff going on in my life, or I just don’t know how to reply to them so they go unreplied-to, but only very occasionally.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Of those that are still online, I’d say The Rain Keeps Falling, which is a HP story about a lot of strong emotions, including grief, and features a major character death. The angstiest ending I’ve written recently would be We seek him here, we seek him there..., which is a JB Scarlet Pimpernel AU that I should probably write a follow-up to at some point.

7. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve ever written?

I was going to say that I don’t - and then I remembered that actually I have. (What can I say? I’ve been writing for a long time, and things slip my mind. 😂) Probably the most unexpected was a pair of drabbles featuring Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Count D from Pet Shop of Horrors. 

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Once or twice, but very rarely in 22 years of writing and posting fic. The most memorable was the vague death threat I got - probably from a fourteen-year-old who didn’t realise that phrasing their displeasure that way wasn’t the best idea - for a very silly HP fic that was written for the blame someone else challenge, and, well, they blamed me. 😂

9. Do you write smut?

I’ve been writing smut since my first fanfic in 1999. At first, I didn’t realise that writing non-smut was an option, and by the time I learned otherwise, it was too late. 

But yeah, I do like using smut to dig down into the characters and find out what makes them tick, in all sorts of ways. You never know what a character might reveal without meaning to in the course of a sex scene.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

A couple of times. I’ve had multiple fics reposted without permission by an automated fic harvesting site that was trying to monetise fic and took a whole lot of fic by many people. I had to send them a C & D letter. 

I’ve also had a story stolen by another fan and reposted as their own work. I think in that case they thought the story was old and obscure and so no one would notice, but it was actually old and well-known and people noticed immediately. Very luckily for me, other people went after that one and yelled at the ‘author’ as soon as they saw it, and it was taken down before I had to do anything.

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, I haven’t, actually! Maybe, one day, with the right person.

12. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Weeeell, the problem I have in answering this question is that I don’t really have favourite ships. I have favourite characters, and then I have the ship that works best for me with whichever character is my favourite. I guess Jaime/Brienne is my favourite in the sense that, unusually for me, my love for both characters is almost equal.

13. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Xena: Warrior Princess. I stumbled into fandom completely by accident, spent a few months reading and lurking, and then decided “I could do that.” So I did.

14. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

If I’d been asked that question a year ago, I would have had a hard time answering. But now I actually do have a favourite fic of my own. It’s That Greek Thing, the fandom is Friday’s Child - Georgette Heyer, and I wrote it for Yuletide last year.

I’d been talking about writing a fic for those characters for about twenty years, but I never quite reached the point of actually writing it. I first read Heyer when I was thirteen and she was very formative for me in certain important ways. I didn’t want to try to write in her world if I didn’t think I could do it justice. So this fic was a VERY long time coming, and when I finally wrote it, it turned out to be sort of the ultimate fanfic for me. It was VERY hard to let go after it was done. It’s exactly the story that I so wished someone would write for those characters - which is really why I write fanfic at all, when it comes right down to it.

[swissmissficrecs]

hey, hope you don't mind me asking but I was wondering if you knew of any fics that dealt with relationship discussions/negotiations and explicit consent and just, them talking about their relationship and what they are and aren't comfortable with and what they want and don't and very explicit talking things? and it doesn't even have to be sexual, just, in general?? all of it?? idk, something like that... (johnlock btw,,, or actually, other pairings too, idc)

Reply: Hey there, sorry it’s taken so long for me to get back to you on this. Here are the fics I have in my bookmarks that are tagged with Negotiation:

Bruise Break Mendby allonsys_girl (12K, E, Johnlock)John's unsure about the depth and darkness of his desire for Sherlock. Sherlock's got a little surprise for him.

Just To Hold You Closeby sussexbound (70K, E, Johnlock)When a woman is murdered and the last person to see her alive is recently invalided army vet turned reluctant (and prickly) professional cuddler, John Watson, Sherlock Holmes is pulled into a world of intimacy and intrigue he never could have imagined.  John is a conundrum and mystery: frank yet reserved, tender yet angry, open yet afraid.  Sherlock is instantly drawn into his orbit, and begins to feel and desire things he never has before.

Kintsukuroiby sussexbound (91K, E, Johnlock)“I love you.”  Sherlock sees the words hit John with almost physical force.  He reels back a little, jaw twitching and eyes filling.“I love you,” he repeats, a little softer, a little more gentle, as earnest as he possibly can.  Because they’ve been teetering on the brink of this thing for years, and it had become painfully obvious over the last few months that they were at a tipping point.  This had to happen. Now it has.  Now they can see where they end up.The tears in John’s eyes spill over, and he wipes at them angrily.  “Do you even know what that means?”

NewSub!John Headspaceby mugenmine (68K, E, Johnlock)Sherlock is miserable at communication, John is terrible at saying no, and they both fail spectacularly at negotiation. In the middle of this all, John tries to come to terms with his need to be bound and dominated, while Sherlock comes up with new, slightly disturbing, mildly scientific, and often misguided ways to test John's limits. Nothing ever goes as planned...

Pull the Stars from the Skyby roane (67K, E, Johnlock)It’s the fall of 2000, and to help him out after his military career has ended due to injury, John Watson’s sister Harriet gets him a job as US tour manager for rising star of the industrial scene and enfant terrible, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock’s not long out of rehab and there are plenty of doubts as to whether he’s serious about recovery. Plus, the music industry is shaking in its boots over the Napster mess. All John has to do is keep the money coming in and make sure his star doesn't screw things up. After the army, that should be easy, right?

Servicemanby PrettyArbitrary (15K, E, Johnlock, John/OMC)Don't you dare look down your nose at John Watson for his service. He's proud to be an army omega. You'll never know how good he has it.100% non-problematically consensual and largely non-angst-ridden omegaverse, because world-building is cool and this freaking setting won't stop building itself in my head.Yeah, yeah, knots, heat, whatever. BUT. BUT. GENDER ISSUES AND SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS. Priorities, I has them.

The Night Is Darkest by missselene (48K, E, Johnlock, Sherlock/OMC)Sherlock Holmes would do anything for John Watson... and that includes letting John do whatever he wants to him.What would it take for Sherlock to stand up for himself and finally start taking care of his own needs?

This house and everything in it by exeterlinden (33K, T, Johnlock; John/OFC)"I'm in the process of gathering new data, and I believe you have more experience in this area." "This area?" John frowns. "Gossip?" "No," Sherlock replies, "passion."

Unrepentantby squire (36K, M, Johnlock)Sherlock comes back from the dead, and he's not sorry.

Unwindseries by illwick (660K, E, Johnlock)This is an epic post-series 4 BDSM relationship series with tons of negotiation.

What My Body Has Seenby philalethia (12K, E, Johnlock)John insists on using condoms. Sherlock is disappointed. Apparently, this is how fetishes are born.

Wits on Tap recs: smoke screens (plausible deniability) - poetry remix

smoke screens (plausible deniability) (225 words) by SincerelyChaos Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Sherlock (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson Additional Tags: Power Dynamics, Developing Relationship, Shotgunning, Kissing, Poetry, Wits On Tap Challenge Series: Part 4 of Saudade, dear Summary:

On poisons shared and plausible deniability.

(An attempt of a poetic retelling of mugenmine’s Secondhand Smoke.)

***

As it’s time for the third annual Wits on Tap poetry remix challenge I’ve posted the two amazing poems I received as remixes of my own fics, but since the fics I myself got assigned to remix were such amazing (and already poetic) works, I’m posting my own remixes as well. This one is from last year, and it’s based on @mugenmine’s hot and smoky fic Secondhand Smoke. Go read that fic! Also, I’m very lucky, because I actually got to meet mugenmine half a year after this, at Sherlock Seattle, and that was an honour!

[thesignsofjohnlock]

Sherlock & Caning

Switch by mugenmine, 15 k, explicit.  “I’ve been thinking,” Sherlock had said last night, as they lay beside each other in the dark. “I want to know what it feels like. What I do to you.”

His Just Deserts by Bottlegreen, 12 k, explicit. Sherlock’s repeated bad behaviour leaves Doctor Watson no choice but to administer a hard disciplinary spanking. How humiliating for a boy of his age to be punished in such a way.

What Not to Do While Riding a Bus on the Motorway by seaholly, 89 k, mature. Sherlock and John have a case. Things get more than a little out of hand.

Bound And Determined by tiger_in_the_flightdeck, 8 k, explicit. While investigating a death, a bad situation in a brothel sends Holmes into a submissive drop. It is something he has never experienced before, and has no idea how to cope. Watson carefully coaxes him back to himself, and helps him to understand what he is feeling and shows him how to come out of it.

Perfectly Good At It by HipHopAnonymous, 4 k, explicit. Sherlock is bored and looking for attention. He gets more than he bargained for since John is in no mood for manipulative games.

Pretence series by Haldane, 5 parts, explicit. ACD canon Holmes and Watson – touching and erotic BDSM series. The two men work out what fantasies call to them. OMFG these are hot.

Shames and Praises by s0mmerspr0ssen, 51 k, explicit. Unable but desperate to find a dom who will put up with him, Sherlock swallows his pride and turns to Mycroft for help. Shortly after, John Watson steps into Sherlock’s life.

I’ll Never Make it Alone by taylorpotato, 5 k, explicit. Sherstrade. Greg was the one constant in Sherlock’s life up until The Fall. Now that Sherlock’s back, they’ve tried to pick up where they left off. But things have changed. For both of them. After John’s wedding, Sherlock goes to Greg’s flat to drown his emotions in consensual pain. In the process, they discover how much they actually need each other. (Locked to AO3.)

Headmaster by chasingriver, 22 k, explicit. Holmescest. Mycroft is the headmaster at a boarding school. Sherlock is his student. Written as a fill for a prompt and resulting fan art on the Sherlock kinkmeme. Warning: sibling incest

As You Are by beltainefaerie, 7 k, explicit. John always knew Sherlock was different. When he sees the remnants of a scene, he begins to realise just how different, and how far he’ll go for Sherlock’s happiness. Meanwhile, Sherlock isn’t sure how John will take his proclivities, but John proves he’s not only experienced, but he’s got Sherlock’s best interests at heart.

And it's done! I guess I'm officially writing for a new fandom now, I've got the receipts! This is the first story in a series that I don't have a title for yet. I'm excited to start the next one...

[cosmoglaut]

mugenmine a réagi à votre billet :Plan “Prep Mom for Civil War” seems to be failing...

My mom said she was gonna watch The first Avenger last night. I’m dying to see what she thought about it. Maybe your mom needs a refresher ;-)

I think the fault is in my plan of making her see the movies in their chronological order. Maybe I should've shown them as grouped by characters. They kinda do stand alone by themselves. Hmm.. maybe there're cliff note vids that I'll show her as a refresher.

it is... not.....marvel.... ..

Congrats! This phenomenon happened to me just recently… Embrace it.. And btw… What’s your new fandom? *fingers crossed for Stucky*

smoke screens (plausible deniability)

http://archiveofourown.org/works/6569233

My entry for Wits on Tap 2016 Remix Challenge. Let’s just say that poetry will never be my strong suit, but that I at least had a great time trying.

A remix of mugenmine’s beautiful Secondhand Smoke.

your breath slowly filling the air with fumes a poisonous smoke screen allowing obscurity allowing–

illusions of lucidity in the space you made between sleep and wakefulness lies an escape from linear time and claims of consciousness (conscientiousness)

optic illusions you hold poison with “hope” spelled out in bold letters and it’s the faint hope that smoke and mirrors will obscure any ulterior motives or tactical retreats (and from a distance this may look like a kiss)

objectively; this is poison pushed from your mouth to mine poison exhaled poison inhaled (it’s like hunger for destruction -a hunger for more of what we have)

again let me try again (but more like giving and less like pushing this time)

illusions of indifference (of plausible deniability) with every attempt to share something volatile and for each drag on the cigarette a bit of that illusion will turn to ashes for without something toxic to exhale(-inhale) this will just be lips brushing lips breaths shared and something frail (undeniable)

and it feels like auditory illusions because as the smoke clears and we break apart the words we speak still sounds detached

objectively; the chemical rush of what we do is no less intense when there’s no more nicotine to inhale and no more smoke to obscure the diffusion of breaths

(the diffusion of destruction and hope)

[unreconstructedfangirl]

I enjoyed reading this so much. :-)

[mugenmine]

Title: You May Never See - Chapter 1 Author: mugenmine Fandom: Captain America (MCU) Pairing: Steve Rogers/James “Bucky” Barnes Rating: NC-17/Explicit Chapters: 1/4 Wordcount: @ 5000 Contains: Pre-War II Steve and Bucky, Angst, Pining (tags will grow with each chapter)

Summary: His longing for Bucky flared up like summer allergies, some years the symptoms were relentless and painful in their severity, lasting weeks before they worked through his body and he could breathe again. Other times the feelings would be fleeting and easier to swallow back down. He didn’t know why this bout had lasted longer than all the rest, why thoughts of Bucky inevitably drifted to what his mouth would taste like, or what would happen if a touch was allowed to linger. This fever had been raging for more than a month now, and he just wanted it to fucking break.

So very weird to be writing/posting/putting stories out there again! New fandom, new pairing, new words. (same kinks, yo!) The story is complete and I’ll be posting it weekly. Thanks so much for reading!
