holmesticemodsHello Holmestice!
Thank you so much for the very wonderful prompt fest over the winter! It was a delight to see so many prompts and stories come out of that. I think it was a wonderful engagement of the community as well, despite the lack of a formal exchange.
About that…
After much conferring,sanguinity and I (colebaltblue) have decided not to run a summer round of Holmestice. We WILL do another prompt post and open the community and AO3 group to sharing and gifting, but we will not be running the full exchange this summer solstice.
We have also reached the difficult decision that we are both bowing out of Holmestice. Things have changed a lot for us both in the last twelve years, and as for a lot of us, these past two years have been full and challenging in ways that have affected our ability to commit to the community.
That said!
We WILL have a winter Holmestice round celebrating the winter solstice of December 2022! (Sign-ups will open in September!)
We have two options. If someone(s) would like to step up and take on the community of Holmestice with the intention of running it moving forward, we will run that round as a training round for the new mod team. If not, then we will make December 2022 our Last Bow and step down gracefully, with full hearts and fond memories.
Thank you all, we could not have done it without you.
Hopefully we'll see you around this summer for another prompt fest and after that for a full round this winter.
