acdholmesfestGentlefans,
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 .

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.
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.

Date: 2014-09-01 06:58 pm (UTC)*deep breath*
LJ name:
email address: I believe it's in Holmes' index somewhere... missives can also be sent to LJ mail
Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: Podfic, preferably—up to about 5,000 words of recipient's work or other podfic-friendly author. Fic—probably about 1,000-2,000 words
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: Podfic— pretty much any rating. Fic—slash, gen, het in a pinch; Holmes/Watson OTP but Watson/Mary (with or without a side order of H/W UST) is fine too; angst (up to and incl character death), h/c, missing scenes/tags, curtain!fic, fix-it fic, friendship, romance, smut (mostly 'fade to black' but NC17 is not out of the question)
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: mpreg, extreme torture, non-con (non-graphic references to past non-con in furtherance of plot okay), D/s, partner betrayal... yeah, best stick with fairly vanilla stuff *g*
What you would like to receive: Fic, podfic, art—it's all good *g* Let your muse guide you, but if suggestions are helpful: Fic—I'm an angst junkie. Podfic: Any podfic-friendly author; make me cry or make me laugh. Art: If an LJ banner or wallpaper, non-explicit, please.
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: same as 'not to work with' list
Any other information you would like to add: SO. EXCITED.
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Sorry, no; could possibly help with beta-reading or beta-listening? (not Brit-picking)
