Whee, fan fiction! ♥♥ I have to admit I haven't been reading much lately (due to summer and lots of traveling and all that) but I adore fan fiction!
Also, whee, fic recs! From all the ones you mentioned, I only read The dangerous book for boys, which I loved. I've been meaning to read Performance In a Leading Role for ages. I have read several HDM crossovers (I totally feel like rereading those books now, I just got the whole boxset recently!) but not the one you recommended.
My preferences? Pretty much like yours. I pretty much only read shippy fics in DW fandom. Funnily enough, I like the sad ones too, and they don't necessarily need to end happily. Maybe the show made me resistant to all the heartbreak? And I also love post-episode fics and fix-its, to balance it out, I guess. Since my two ships are Nine/Rose and Ten/Rose and Eleven/River, occasionally I like to read stories where Eleven meets Rose or they meet older/younger versions of themselves, and, usually, heartbreak ensues ;) I don't read much proper AUs in that fandom.
Sherlock, the more romantic and shippy the better ;) I don't like case fics where there's more plot than feelings, and a fic can never be shippy enough, heh. Just like you, I adore totally out there AUs. I am so bad with fics recs, but one of the fics I really liked was a Beauty And The Beast themed AU. I also love love fics where they're teenagers, just like that wonderful The dangerous book for boys. And I love loooots of UST, and us getting to read about them meeting for the first time rather than them knowing each other already. I love long fics, but rarely have the time to start reading them *le sigh*
Aaaaah, I haven't had a Sherlock marathon in ages! I should do it, and then read some of the fics you posted. Thanks so much! :D
