The posting meme rises again!
Jan. 21st, 2014 05:26 pmJust because it was called the December posting meme doesn't mean we can't finish up in January, right? Doubling back to finish up with some of the prompts folks kindly left last month.

woldy: Stories you wish existed in fandom
I should start off by saying that I'm always impressed by the sheer amount of fic out there--there's uncharted territory even in corners of fandom I've been knocking about in for a while. So instead of talking about than stories I wished existed, I'll talk about stories I want to seek out, since heaven knows everything's already been done, somewhere, somehow.
( Genderswap )
To sum up: After years of naysaying, I'm curious about genderswap. And I couldn't recommend this fic more highly:
How the Mouth Changes its Shape,
breathedout, female!Sherlock/female!John, explicit, 130,000 words
1955. Under the placid veneer of suburban playparks and middle-class conformity churns a hidden London: femmes and butches dancing close in basement bars; clandestine love between women. To Sherlock Holmes, struggling private detective and mistress of disguise, it’s a realm she renounced years before. To Johnnie Watson, daredevil ambulance driver turned auto mechanic, it’s become a little too familiar. But when someone is murdered in the washroom of the city’s most notorious lesbian club, the investigation will lead both women to reconsider their assumptions about themselves, each other, and the world in which they live.
