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.

Comments

Excited!

Lj name: stardust_made
Email address: I'll provide it via PM.
Type of work: Fic. I'll aim for something between 3000 and 5000 words, but experience shows it'll probably be longer. I promise to write something of at least 1000 words.
What you are comfortable working with as a creator: I am willing to try my hand at anything as long as the characters are consenting adults—that's the only thing I do NOT wish to write at this point.
What you would like to receive: Art will be nice, fic as well. I slash Holmes and Watson and have a soft spot for UST. (I won't complain if it does get resolved at the end.) I also enjoy h/c, a bit of pining, casefics, lyrical pieces that explore the characters inner worlds and their relationships. But I would honestly be glad to receive anything with a few rare exceptions. (see below)
What you would definitely NOT enjoy receiving: Abuse, of any kind.
Any other information you would like to add: I really struggle to enjoy fanfic when the characters are OOC. That's neither here, nor there, but I thought I should say.
Whether, if needed, you could offer to pinch hit to avoid someone being disappointed: Sadly, not at the moment.
