Sign Ups Round 5 are now CLOSED

[tweedisgood.livejournal.com]

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 is rare much less fun .

Sign ups close Monday 8th September, Midnight British Summer Time. Assignments should be with you by 15 September latest. Submission date is Saturday 25th October, midnight Greenwich Mean Time

Please sign up by commenting to this post [template below]:




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.

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.

email address: methylviolet10b has it, and the other mods might, too.
Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: Fic
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: Genres: Gen, Slash, Bromance, Het. Pairings: certainly Holmes/Watson, but I could give another pair a go. Tones/themes: humour, h/c, light casefic, angst (if necessary). Tropes or kinks: Pretty wide open; only see the NOT list immediately following. How high a rating will you go: Explicit
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: - Implausible pairings (feel free to ask for specifics as my definition of “implausible” might not match someone else’s). I’m not up for scarring, non-con, torture, m-preg, deathfic, incest, and that sort of thing.

What you would like to receive: - Fic, Art
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: - Het and the same as NOT list from above. (Yes, I’ll write Het but it’s not what I prefer to read.)
Any other information you would like to add: No.
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: I’m here if you need me.
