It's That Time of Year Again!

It's time to start ramping up for the summer round of Holmestice! As always, Holmestice is an anonymous gift exchange for all Holmesian fandoms and all kinds of digitally-hostable fanworks.
As with the last two rounds, we'll be on Dreamwidth again, but with one small change: if you wish, you may now post your work to AO3 instead of having it hosted on Dreamwidth. (For those who were around then, this is the same as how we ran the Summer 2015 round.) Sign-ups will be on DW; matching will be done by hand behind-the-scenes; works will be announced on DW and made anonymously visible a few per day throughout the posting period; the individual works themselves will be on Dreamwidth, AO3, or both, depending on the creator's preferences.
Please let us know what questions you have!
The schedule for this next round:
Keen eyes may notice this is a week later than our usual schedule -- we had to shift things around a bit because of the mods' personal calendars.
As usual, any help in advertising the community would be wonderful! Here are two existing banners you can use: ( Holmestice banners )
And of course if you would like to make your own promotional graphic for the exchange, we welcome that!
Please feel free to comment here on this post with your thoughts, hopes, dreams, and wishes. We're looking forward to this coming round and hope you are, too!
