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.

Crossovers are welcome, but there must be majority ACD Holmes content, please.

Not sure if this counts, as too late and I'm only watching the comm, but in case.

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: Icons or fic (I can do 1000 words but I won't make promises beyond that, I have no idea)
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: Fluff, friendship/romance, h/c, a bit of angst is ok but I don't think I do darkfic very well. Basically any era from first meeting to retirement is ok. Also I um have kind of a soft spot for Lovecraft crossovers.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: My smut is cringeworthy and I'd rather not sign up to write plotty/casefic as my brain is fickle. Preferably not pairings that aren't H/W or character-centric fics for characters that aren't them. Oh and tropes that are huge deviations from canon. Like alpha/omega or mpreg or sexual violence or heavy AU, that kind of thing.
What you would like to receive: Anything! A cute fic might make me happiest of all but it's all great. As for what type of fic, retirement fic is awesome but very early cohabitation or hiatus or post-hiatus or Holmes ruminating on Watson's marriage... whatever creator feels like doing.
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: Hmm. Same as above, with exception of smut and plotty/casefic - those are great, I just can't write them. Oh and re: AUs, I could go for a modern AU that actually felt like Sherlock Holmes (can you tell I don't like 'Sherlock'...).
Any other information you'd like to add: I've never done this before but this exchange is such a wonderful idea, I'm glad it exists.
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Alas, one work will be more than enough.
