Characters/pairings of interest:
NB: this is an offer for a remix of an existing fic, not a
brand-new fic! (If you're not sure what a remix is, I explain more
below.) I am still filling in these "interests/dislikes" boxes,
because they still apply, but if you win this auction, you won't be
giving me a traditional prompt -- you'll be giving me an existing fic
as a prompt.
I'm really open to anything! I should note, though, that my approach to Margo/Sergei tends toward canon compatible. I am in principle happy to take on canon divergences and AUs, but the stories themselves likely will not be all that happy...
Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
When I'm remixing a fic, the main thing I'm looking for is a
thread I can tug on: one that lets me unravel the existing fic such
that I can put it back together in a fresh way. I realize this is not
an especially actionable description! But mainly the thing I'm looking
for is a story with layers, or that offers a couple of different ways
in.
Unwilling to address:
I cannot be trusted to deliver a straightforwardly happy
ending. It's just not in my skillset. If you want to give me a happy
fic to remix that is cool! But please know that my remix will be a lot
more ambivalent and ambiguous in its resolution.
Also: although I am happy to consider any fic as the base text for a remix (given the author's permission), I CANNOT PROMISE IN ADVANCE that I will remix the one exact fic you have in mind. It's really difficult to predict what story is going to offer me a way in, and which ones won't. For that reason, I'm going to ask you to offer me 3-5 stories (or more!) that you'd be interested in seeing remixed.
Other notes:
This offer is not for a new fic; this offer is for a remix
of an existing fic. In other words, I take a fic of yours (or someone
else's, with their permission) and rewrite it in some way. If you're
not familiar with fic remixes, here is a general blurb:

I've used the second portfolio slot to link to the collection of all of my BBC Sherlock remixes; if you know that canon, looking there might be helpful! But as an overview of what a remix by me might look like: I could (and have done, in the past) retell the same story (or a v similar one) from the perspective of a different character, with different knowledge and different priorities and different people they care about; or tell roughly the same story but change a few key details. I once took a Vampire AU -- which drew heavily on the emotional dynamics of S1 Sherlock, but spun its own narrative -- and retold that same narrative, almost beat for beat, but without any vampires or magic and re-translated such that those same dynamics and movements occurred in our own world. I can't promise in advance what I would do; there are lots of different ways to put a twist on the original story, and figuring out what kind of twist it will be is part of the fun for me.
also, pls see note above about giving me multiple prompt fics. (I couldn't fit it in this box!)
