Wrapping up Summer 2015

[holmesticemods]

Though we're all done with this round of Holmestice we have a few extra treats coming up in just a minute.

But first, the mods want to say THANK YOU to all the creators that joined us for this round of Holmestice. You folks put in a lot of hard work and made some really great fanworks. And thanks for sticking with us through the adjustment to using AO3. We think it's a really great system and we'll do better with ironing out the kinks next time. :)

Reveals and the Master List go up on June 21st, but until then read and comment on all the lovely fanworks here and on the AO3 collection.

If you'd like to take a guess at who created what in this round, a list of all the participants is below the LJ cut. Go ahead and take a guess. It's all in good fun.

Fingering fleetwood_mouse for "The Ghosts of Our Old Loves."

(And shame on me for not including thanks and applause for the mods in the first version of this comment! I plead delirium, because I had just read "The Ghosts.")

Sadly I haven't had time to read all the stories yet but I'm looking ahead to reading the rest. Thank you again, mods, for organising this.

Thank you for organising this. It was great fun!
Haven't read all the stories yet, but they're bookmarked for catching up.

Thanks mods, it's been great!

Also guessing wise - did sanguinity maybe write Setting the Sail, I wonder? It reminds me a bit of 'So Keen a Sympathy' from last Holmestice. In any case, both excellent ACD femmeslash pieces giving life to minor characters :)

[dogandmonkeyshow]

Thank you for organising this. It was my first holmstice and I may well be back for the next round as I enjoyed writing for this onr.

I hardly read any Sherlock fic so am not qualified to speculate on who may have written what, though I have a few suspicions and look forward to the reveal next week to see if they're correct.

I think in terms of fandoms, this may have been our most diverse Holmestice ever. *brb going to check our stats*

This is a pure guess, but I'll speculate that gardnerhill may be responsible for "On Verity and Verisimilitude", the TNG!Moriarty story written for me.

The story whose author I'm most curious about is "A Handsome and Generous People", because I know I didn't write it, I suspect sanguinity of having written too many other contributions to be responsible for it, and I very much doubt that its recipient (gardnerhill) wrote it. And that eliminates all of the best suspects. Except maybe TNG!Moriarty....

Oh, wait, are reveals TODAY? Let's see if I can get my guesses posted before reveals happen, then. ;-)

Stitch in Time (Watson & Holmes): sherlockholmes
Lost Causes (Elementary): amindamazed
Missing (Elementary): time_converges
Conversations at Simpson's (ACD): garonne

...and everything else for which I'd submit guesses would be a spoiler, given the state of some of the comment threads above. (And we wouldn't want to spoil reveals when we still have, what, an hour and a half to go, would we?) ;-)
