Sign Ups Round 5 are now CLOSED
Gentlefans,
it's that time of the year again, when cabs clatter through the rain-soaked streets, the Irregulars are on the move (especially one of them, heh), Holmes and Watson are staying indoors solving crimes (amongst other pursuits) and crime is commonplace but logic israre much less fun .

If you are in any doubt of meeting the submission deadline 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 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, and I hate housework.
Offers of pinch hitters gratefully received now or in future
Posting (anon) starts on Saturday, 1 November. End of posting depends on how many participants we get. Reveal 48 hours (or however long it takes me to write the reveal post fic, will do same asap) later.
Sign up template:
Lj name:
email address: YouraddyATemailproviderDOTcom OR if you prefer not to put this in an open comment, please PM mods (tweedisgood, methylviolet10b or spacemutineer) with this information.
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], how high a rating will you go, 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. If art, please do not specify only wanting your fic illustrated. Not all artists like to do that.
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.

Lj name: winryweiss
email address: winryATseznamDOTcz (preferred) or winryweissATgmailDOTcom
Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: Fanfic.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: H/W friendship or mild (unexplicit) slash, humour, casefic, Yardes (Let's give Lestrade & co. more space!), ghost stories and/or spooky themes, magical realism or steampunk(ish) AU, crossover with Raffles.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: Definitely nothing explicit (For the life of me, I cannot write such without it being terribly cliché. I just can't.) So, no PWP and gore, character death, h/c, angst, sad ending, romance and love confession. I also do not fancy retirement timeline.
What you would like to receive: Fic would be preferred. H/W friendship in the very best circumstances, but if you must, pre-slash or mild (unexplicit) slash can be included too. Casefic with humour and Yardes (Please, let's give Lestrade & co. more space!) Ghost story (can be genuine supernatural or just artificial haunting to cover certain disgraceful deeds), Magical realism or steampunk(ish) AU. Crossover with Raffles. Pre-hiatus timeline. - Something from this mix. Oh, but smart and brave Watson is a must. (Seriously, he is former soldier, for the God's sake!)
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: PWP, explicit slash and/or sexual themes, het, h/c, angst, character death, gore, pure-breed romance, love confession, AU (excluding those listed above), unhappy ending, retirement timeline.
Any other information you would like to add: Eeeh, as a non-native speaker, I'd love to obtain some poor helpful soul as proofreader. Anyone?
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Possibly. If I would have time, I'll be more than glad to do so.
