Latest submission date is Sunday 30th March, midnight Greenwich Mean Time. Assignments should be with you by 23 February latest.

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 7 April. End of posting depends on how many participants we get. Reveal 48 hours later.

Email address: PM'ed to mods

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: fic, going on past form 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 for recipient's own fic, stand-alone art

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, fluff

Any other information you would like to add: Very grateful to you all for organising this again!

Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Yes.
