The Sherlock Wishing Well

Drop a wish for a short fic or quick sketch in the well and maybe someone will make it come true! More info here.

Is this still a thing or has it been abandoned?

Sadly, I don’t have time to keep it updated, but I didn’t want to delete it entirely...

Sherlock Wishing Well

To make a wish, drop us an ask (anon or not) describing a Sherlock-related short fic or quick sketch you wish existed. We’ll publish your ask with relevant tags.

To grant a wish, write a ficlet or draw a sketch (this is meant to be easy/quick for creators, too). Reblog the original ask with the gift or a link to the gift and tag us at @sherlockwishingwell. The unfilled wish tag is a good place to start!

See? Easy peasy. Short works, no sign ups, no fussing over matching people. You drop in wishes and maybe, just maybe, someone (or more than one someone) grants your wish. 

Any rules? Just one. Play nice. This is a wank-free zone.

No clue why, but I’m having trouble editing older posts; keep an eye on reblogs if your wish is older than a few months!

I wish someone would draw Sherlock with really long, curly hair. Like in Serbia, but he didn't cut his hair after Mycroft rescued him and he cleaned up.

Sounds wonderful–I hope you get your wish! 

If you grant this wish, please reblog and tag us @sherlockwishingwell; thank you!

[sherlockwishingwell]

Wish granted!

I'd love a fic where 20-somethings Mycroft and Greg are together and teenage Sherlock lives with them. A couple scenarios I have in mind include Sherlock going on cases with Greg (and Mycroft worrying, even though Greg promises to keep him out of danger) or Mycroft and Greg giving Sherlock advice about his crush (John).

I am so, so frustrated. I have heaps of plot ideas for johnlock fanfic, but I'm an absolutely shit writer with incredibly high standards so I can never get anything out on page and be satisfied with it. I have many ideas I will never write and it saddens me, so I was wondering, is there a prompt dump anywhere? Like a page where I can share my prompts in the hopes that one writer will deem them worthy and fulfil at least one of them, or just get inspiration from it?

Hey friend, sorry to hear about your frustration with writing. I hope you might keep at it.

As far as place to dump writing prompts - I know there are some, but help me out here folks, where are some good places???

You could try @sherlockkinkmeme,

or maybe the @sherlockwishingwell is still open.

[sherlockwishingwell]

It is still open! Thank you for remembering it! Anyone can drop a wish in the well at any time. :)

More info:

Drop us an ask (anon or not) describing a Sherlock-related short fic or quick sketch you wish existed. We’ll publish your ask with relevant tags. If someone wants to grant your wish, they should reblog that ask with their gift to you (or a link to their gift). It’s meant to be easy for the writers and artists, too–think ficlets, 221Bs, sketches, doodles. 

Creators, if you’re inspired to take it further (a longer fic, a more complicated drawing), then so be it. If you grant a wish for someone who is not anon, try to tag them or notify them somehow, though, as a heads up. :) See? Easy peasy. No messy sign ups, no fussing over matching people. You drop in wishes and maybe, just maybe, someone (or more than one someone) grants your wish. Any rules? Just one. Play nice. This is a wank-free zone.

This is a fill for the @sherlockwishingwell ; @iriswallpaper requested Sherlock with long hair.  I reworked an old Sherlock and gave him lengthy locks.

[bluebellofbakerstreet]

@kestrel337 has a charming fic in which John becomes foster father to a young werewolf named Greg.

For a request in the @sherlockwishingwell.  I hope that the nice nonny isn’t disappointed that I didn’t draw anyone as a werewolf.

Kestrel337 has a piece called Father Figure, about child lestrade being a werewolf puppy. Which would make a darling sketch I think, if anyone who read it wanted to.

Here’s a link to the fic. :)

If you grant this wish, please reblog this ask and tag us @sherlockwishingwell, thanks!

I've always wanted to see a Sherlock fic based on the song Last Friday Night by KP.

There’s actually a few fanvids of that, if you haven’t seen them. Hope you get your wish, anon!

If you grant this wish, please reblog and tag us @sherlockwishingwell, thank you! :)

[sherlockwishingwell]

I would like Molly with a serious case of the flu, and Greg taking care of her. (fic or art is fine!)

I would like to read the in-show newspaper article Kitty Reilly wrote after interviewing Richard Brooke/ Moriarty. It contains the lie that Sherlock’s deductions are just a scam, but also a lot of true information about Sherlock’s background that Mycroft told Moriarty about. I tried to pause on the article once and it just contains a few sentences that are repeated over and over again. I would like someone to elaborate on that.

If you grant this wish, please reblog and tag @lizcarroll2612 and us @sherlockwishingwell–thank you!

[sherlockwishingwell]

I would like to read the in-show newspaper articles and interviews about Sherlock’s amorous activities with Janine. 
(Since they shed a pretty heterosexual light on Sherlock’s (assumed) love life, I suppose John is pretty happy that those were published just around the time when “confirmed bachelor John Watson” left his wife shortly after the wedding and moved in with Sherlock again. That certainly prevented new, embarrassing rumours…)

how do you feel about giving song wishes? Like, suggesting a song that you'd like to see be the inspiration for a fic/drawing

I think that’s a great idea, anon. Let’s do it. If I get song-related wishes I shall tag them #song inspired so we can find them easily. :)

[sherlockwishingwell]

Please oh pleaaaaase can I have a little fic with Lestrade being a really good dad to a worried Sherlock? iwi

Hi, anon! I, myself, could interpret this ask in about three different ways, so you might get a variety of responses! :)

If you grant this wish, please reblog and tag us @sherlockwishingwell–thank you!

[sherlockwishingwell]

Is it possible that you would consider tagging wishes as art or sketch wishes and fic wishes? I art but don't write and I'm sure others write but don't art and it could make it easier to find wishes that I can fill that need filling.

Yep! Tags are #fic request, #art request, and #fic or art not specified. Tags are now listed on our tags page. :)
