Sign Ups Round 5 are now CLOSED

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 .

Right...

Sign ups for the fest are now CLOSED, and before I turn into a pumpkin, thanks to all who have volunteered to give and receive. I and [livejournal.com profile] spacemutineer have kept ourselves back as pinch hitters, so there is a possibility that you may get something from one of us, depending on the matching process and any problems ficcers may encounter.

Artists, we're relying on you. No one wants art from me.

I and the mods are getting together online in a couple of days to finalise assignments, then you'll be hearing from one or other of us soon after.

Sign ups are open!




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, [livejournal.com profile] methylviolet10b or [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.
