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.

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: The fic, the whole fic, and nothing but the fic.

What I’m comfortable working with as a creator: Gen (with slash implied), or slash of variously explicit flavors, for Holmes and Watson only. I’m happy to riff on the whole range of canon, and enjoy writing fic that showcases character and relationship. The story might be humorous, for a given value of humor. It could include deep emotional distress. I do not have ‘preferred’ tropes or kinks. I would enjoy writing a crossover in period. Please, see the next category.

What I would definitely prefer NOT to work with: I do not write infantilized, feminized, or brain damaged characters. I will not disable a character who is not disabled in canon. I have a limited tolerance for tropes and kinks.

What I would like to receive: Fic or Art. Check out what I’m comfortable working with. I would enjoy a story – a case? - set in a liminal space – a carnival, the theater, a cathedral, an archaeological dig, the seaside, a deathbed (not H’s or W’s!), a séance, a war – all these things qualify. Crossovers with Ripper Street welcome. No fannish tropes or kinks, and no anachronisms, please.

What I would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: Exclusions as above.

Any other information: Rock and roll!

Whether, if needed, I could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Not gonna risk it.
