Gentlefans,

This is the sign up post for writers, podficcers and artists wishing to take part in round 3 of the ACD HolmesFest. Sign ups open now and close on Monday 26th August at midnight, Greenwich Mean Time.



By Saturday 31 August you will have your assignments.

Latest submission date is Monday 7th October, midnight Greenwich Mean Time. If you are in any doubt of meeting it or need to drop out, please let one of the mods know *straight away* so we can reassign. If you are going to be only a little late submitting, please let us know either in a comment to this post or via PM/mods email account (acdholmesfestmods@gmail.com), letting us know how near it is to ready, and we'll offer an extension, but you must commit to meet this or all our hair will spontaneously go white and drop out, possibly not in that order. Offers of pinch hitters gratefully received now or in future.

Posting (anon) starts on Monday 14 October. End of posting depends on how many participants we get. Reveal 48 hours later.

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: e.g. fic, podfic, art, icons [minimum 10 icons please]. If fic, *rough* idea of how long it is likely to be, e.g. under 1000 words, 1000 to 5000, over 5000 [blimey]. We have no minimum word limit for fics but something reasonably substantial would be nice.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: - e.g. gen, het, slash, particular pairings/multiples, casefic, humour, h/c, angst, preferred tropes or kinks [please list], etc: we encourage as much latitude as possible to make it easier to match and because variety is good.

What you would like to receive: - type(s) of fanwork, preferences as above
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: - exclusions as above
Any other information you would like to add:
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed:

Crossovers are welcome, but there must be substantial ACD Holmes content, please.
Icons or macros - may be based on any of the original illustrations to the ACD stories - not just Sidney Paget's. Camden House has a very full collection.

For all other comm rules, please see the profile page

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: fic, probably 3000-6000 words; art, pencil or pen-and-ink

What you are comfortable working with as a creator:
fic: slash (Holmes/Watson), casefic, mystery, adventure, plotty stuff, angst, inexplicit sexual content, explicit sexual content, UST, RST, pining, established relationship
art: slash (Holmes/Watson) or gen, fic illustrations à la Sidney Paget

What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with:
fic: gen, het, hurt/comfort, humour, schmoop, PWP, kinks, AUs, crossovers, anything with supernatural/fantasy elements
art: explicit sexual content, AUs, supernatural/fantasy elements

What you would like to receive: Fic or podfic. A Holmes/Watson fic, please!
Fic: I'm open to reading pretty much anything that's not in the next paragraph, so feel free to write whatever you enjoy yourself. Just as happy with G as NC-17 and vice versa. Just as happy with PWP as plotty casefic. So long as it's in character and Brit-picked(!), I'm sure I'll like it.
If you would like some guidance, things I particularly enjoy include: established relationships, Victoriana/historical details, angst, strongly plotted stories. But please don't feel you have to include ANY of that.
Podfic: Podfic would also be lovely, of anything I've written, or of another Holmes/Watson fic whose author gives permission. I'm a big believer in all kinds of accents being great for podfic in all kinds of fandoms :)

What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: mpreg, noncon, dubcon, incest, infidelity, AUs of the 'they're on a spaceship/in the 1930s/in ancient Greece' kind (I love AUs of the 'what if such-and-such a story didn't happen quite the way Watson told it' kind), crossovers, hurt/comfort, schmoop

Any other information you would like to add: So glad we're having another round of holmesfest!
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Unlikely, sorry.
