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.

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.

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 in the 1-5k range.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: Gen, slash, or het; friendship fic; if working in pairings, Holmes/Watson or Watson/Mary are my comfort zones. I enjoy writing about Lestrade, too. Case-fic, missing bits from canon, and I'd be happy to try my hand a a remix of the recipient's work, if that floats her boat. I'm fairly flexible, but I'm not particularly gifted at explicit anything, and I'm not a fan of non-con.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: Non-con, deathfics, PWP, heavy angst or "angst-lover" requests, torture porn (I don't mind inflicting whump in service of a plot, but pure whomp and nothing but isn't much fun)
What you would like to receive: Fic Fic Fic! I adore casefic, missing-moments, slices of life, stories that showcase relationships. A little humor in the fic is always appreciated, although you don't have to make it a humor-only piece; I like a blend of humor and action and, well, see canon. ;-) All that being said, if someone wants to podfic or remix one of my stories, that's brilliant!
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: Non-con, deathfics, PWP (I like plot), torture porn (whump in service of plot is fine), infidelity fic, stories where anyone is being unnecessarily horrid to everyone, unhappy endings.
Any other information you would like to add: Really, as long as it's well-written, I'm going to be happy.
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Sure. I've done it before, and had a good time with it.
