I'm trying this one last time before I rely on Plan Z.
A longshot: is anyone still in Guy Ritchie's
Sherlock Holmes fandom?
My Dr. Watson muse is without his compadre, Sherlock.
This is a slash SL, but I want plot with the smut. A slow build-up is the deal, here: neither man will be spontaneously snoggin' the other, one evening after one-too-many drinks.
I'm looking to write with another adult who's in my age group; early 20s +. I think of RP as collaborative storytelling; exploring characters' mindsets, what makes them tick; analyizing, and all the other good stuff! Multiple paragraphs, prose, ridiculously long tags & profiles. Bring your own plots and agendas to the story; no rehashing
he said, she said. No wall-flower/statue/china-doll syndrome depictions, please and thank you.
Sherlock's player needs to be happy and willing to do a bit of research. I have done my share of research into the 1800s; social etiquette, social classes, medical practices/beliefs/public and private hospitals, private physicians; technology; fashion and so forth. A huge bonus if my new partner has read- or is willing to read the original literature!
I've incorporated a bit of the canon!Sherlock and Watson to my initial SL, and I'd like to try it again. There's tons of available texts on the 'net, so there's no problem finding them. I'm all for artistic license and bending the rules in some historical areas: Ritchie's verse is by no means a 100% true-to-the-period depiction. It'd be awesome if my partner is experienced with historical RPs. I like realism in all its forms: characters can make a stupid decision or lose an argument, for instance.
Notably, I do not want to write against femboys. These are blokes. Watson's not a blushing virgin. Sherlock's a coke addict.
There is no mermaid magic here!There's domestics; them bickering over the opera, the rent, Gladstone, cases. Watson's torn between Sherlock and Mary. There's bound to be some angst, but not the pity-party soapbox kind! Watson isn't going to /wrists, or anything of the sort.
No genderbenders, no genderswap, no mpreg; no high-school AUs, werewolf/vampire parallel dimensions or stuck-on-a-desert-island plots.
My Watson journal is
at_all_costs , complete with profile. An RP sample or two is available on request; I'd like to do the same with my new partner(s).
I'm recycling my original asylum, thickas_thieves .I prefer to be contacted and plotted with via journal threads. If you're going to do a runner at any point, move onto another sandbox, thanks!
