Sign ups are now OPEN for Round 4.
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.

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: e.g. fic, podfic, art, icons [minimum 10 icons please]. We have no minimum word limit for fics but something reasonably substantial, i.e. over 1,000 words, 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 definitely prefer NOT to work with: - as above
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 majority 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
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: gen, het, slash, Holmes/Watson, other pairings, occasional multiples, explicit, non-explicit, h/c, angst, bereavement, humour, casefic, crack, female characters (both canon and OC), historical detail, historical characters including ACD, virgin Holmes, Holmes POV, drug use, established relationship, first time,retirement-era,light or psychological-only BDSM, limited AUs.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: - heavy violence or torture, non-consensual anything, intense BDSM, kinks involving bodily fluids, fluff, de-aged or kidfic, genderswap, soulbonding, mpreg, "out-there" AUs e.g. Omegaverse, vampires, werewolves.
What you would like to receive: - fic, art (especially, but absolutely not limited to, an illustration or strip of illustrations for one of my existing fics or a single scene therefrom - not already illustrated by someone, i.e. not Two Days or Face Value). Anything I've said I'll write I'd be happy to get as fic, slight preference for the gents actually getting it on, combined with casefic or at least some deduction would be the cherry on top.
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: - same - nothing I won't write myself.
Any other information you would like to add: I sincerely hope everyone has a ton of fun, and *don't submit late* without telling the mods, please please please: preferably don't submit late at all. All the mods have relatively limited time and at present, most of their wits intact. We'd like to keep it that way. The 'wits' bit that is :-)
For myself, please have any story beta'd and Britpicked; that would be much appreciated.
Prompts, if you care to use them:
The stroke of midnight
A new century
The pleasures of retirement - and some of the burdens
Short of money - plenty of time
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Unlikely, but never say never.
