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 the mods will run amok and that is not a pretty sight, let me tell you.

Offers of pinch hitters gratefully received now or in future: there will be a 'volunteers' post for that and beta duties

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. Any questions/comments, please contact mods via PM or gmail, NOT via sign ups post, thanks.

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer: fic, around two to five thousand words.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: I adhere to canon when it comes to pairings, so H/W are just friends (but really good ones), Watson/Mary, and whatever else there is. I can do casefics, fluff, h/c, angst, or whatever the muse decides to hit me with. I can also base the characterization on a different show other than Granada (like either Russian series', Basil Rathbone-verse, etc.) if my recipient would like that (but in the book-verse, of course), and I can do AUs as well (quite like them, actually). I like to think I'm fairly flexible.
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with: Slash, character bashing, non-con, major character death, explicit sex.

What you would like to receive: Fic: My preference for H/W is for them to be friends, but I don't mind them being in an established relationship (because, let's face it, they do act like a married couple sometimes). I like all characters to be canonically competent. Watson playing a role is always good. I have no specific preference of genre, so do as you please here. I'm actually interested to see something with Irene in it, and if you'd like to go for Holmes/Irene, by all means go for it (as long as she isn't lame, like she was in movie09, nor ridiculous, like BBC. Just saying.) but please don't turn her into a Mary Sue or anything. AUs are always enjoyed (I love world building and those kinds of details) or even a Doctor Who crossover would be cool. Or even you could use the characterization of a different show, like I said above? Whatever you feel like doing.
Art: whatever you want, really. If you want to include any of the things I just mentioned or want to go somewhere else, I don't mind.
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: Explicit sex, unhappy ending (I'd like it to be happy or at least hopeful), character bashing, non-con, first time H/W.
Any other information you would like to add: Nah, I think I'm good.
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: The only way I work is if you beat me with a stick, so unless you have a stick handy, that's gonna have to be a no.
