Gentlefans,

This is the sign up post for writers and artists wishing to take part in the Fest. Sign ups open now and close on Monday 20th August at midnight, British Summer Time - not much time, I know, but we are not a huge community (yet).

By Sunday 26th August you will have your assignments.

Latest submission date is Sunday 7th October.

Posting (anon) starts on Monday, 15th October and ends on 29th October. Reveal post 1st November.

If you are going to be late submitting, please let me, methylviolet10b or spacemutineer know either in a comment to this post or via PM and we'll offer an extension. Offers of pinch hitters gratefully received.

Sign up template:

Lj name
email address YouraddyATemailproviderDOTcom OR if you prefer not to put this in an open comment, please PM mods with this information.
Type of work(s) you are willing to offer e.g. fic, art, icons [minimum 10 icons please]. If fic, *rough* idea of how long it is likely to be, e.g. under 1000 words, 1000 to 5000, over 5000 [blimey]. We have no minimum word limit for fics but something reasonably substantial 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], 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
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

Crossover fic and art is welcome, but there must be substantial ACD Holmes content, please.
Icons - 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

ETA the WONDERFUL Banner by mistyzeo. Will be spreading this far and wide asap.

Thanks! It's been a very long time since I ran one of these, so any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

Type of work(s) you are willing to offer Art, Fic (probably 5000+ words)
What you are comfortable working with as a creator - gen, slash, het, case!fic, songfic, ust, Sherlock/Watson, Sherlock/Lestrade, Professor Moriarty (pre-series, or otherwise), John/Mary, Irene/Sherlock, angst, character study, canon Untold (”http://www.bestofsherlock.com/ref/untold.htm”) stories -- and basically anything not listed below
What you would definitely prefer NOT to work with - mpreg, crossovers of any kind, supernatural/steampunk AU, hurt/comfort, crack, fluff, character bashing, pwp,
What you would like to receive - art or fic for Lestrade/Sherlock or Gen, Case!fic, ust, I’d love for someone to tackle some of the canon Untold (”http://www.bestofsherlock.com/ref/untold.htm”) Sherlock stories! I also wouldn’t mind seeing, perhaps, a Younger!Moriarty story, his climb to the top or something different.
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving - Watson/Holmes, explicit sex, mpreg, crossovers of any kind, supernatural/steampunk AU, hurt/comfort, crack, fluff, character bashing, pwp,
Any other information you would like to add I always sort of decide randomly whether I’ll be drawing or writing depending on my mood, so I really can’t promise to do one over the other until it comes down to actually doing the work, so I really can’t be paired with someone who only wants fic or art -- as it’s a bit of a coin toss!
