The End! And Guessing Post!
Well, that's it for this round!
We've posted exchange gifts for 41 fanwork creators in just under 2 weeks.
Reveals and the master list will be posted on the summer solstice - Monday, June 20th.
In the mean time, read the fic or view the art or listen to the podfic. And comment here or our AO3 collection to let these creators know how much we've all appreciated their work.
If you'd like to take a guess about who created which work, feel free to leave it in the comments. But we won't tell until the 20th. :)

Perhaps because of the diversity, I don't have as many guesses as I usually do -- I think a lot of people tried something new this time around, which is awesome! But it makes the guessing even trickier than usual :)
So I will stick to the few I feel confident about, and wait to be surprised with all the rest!
And, this is going to sound really weird since I haven't even had the chance to finish reading it yet, but given what I have read, the length, the adoration of its readers, its clean prose and powerful emotion, I feel like The Way to a Man's Heart" (http://holmestice.livejournal.com/401449.html) might possibly belong to
Also, the astonishing vid Something Good (Will Come From That) (http://holmestice.livejournal.com/409720.html) seems like a project that
Thanks again to everyone :) I look forward to the reveals!

Would you enjoy prompting a vidlet? It's part of the Holmestice fun for me to offer a treat for people who correctly guess my contribution, and wouldn't you know, I have a TON of Holmesian source sitting on my hard-drive, plus a deep stack of notes about where the cool bits are, and I used only the barest fraction of any of it in the vid.
So. Prompt a vidlet? Topic or 'verse (no BBC please for force-balancing reasons, but obvs nearly anything else in the vid is a go, and I've got a few more adapts sitting around that I haven't used, try me).

Well, my favorite character is Watson, and when I tried to think of what prompt might make for an interesting vidlet, this is what sprang to mind: There is a passage in the Doyle story "Charles Augustus Milverton" where Holmes plans to undertake a risky and illegal mission for the sake of helping a client, and Watson insists on coming along to help. Holmes (probably trying to protect him) tells him that it would be pointless for him to come because he wouldn't be of any use. And Watson replies: "You don't know that. You can't tell what may happen. And in any case, my resolution is taken. Other people besides you have self-respect, and even reputations."
That is one of my favorite lines in the ACD canon, because I love to see Watson's self-respect and I love it when his usefulness and honorable qualities are recognized. So, I would love to see a vidlet that looks at moments either where Watson's good qualities are recognized by others, or where it's clear that he takes pride in them himself (or herself). One scene in this regard springs immediately to mind for me: it's at the end of Without a Clue, where Michael Caine's Holmes tells the waiting crowd how remarkable Ben Kingsley's Watson is, and they all begin to applaud him. If that scene could inspire a vidlet with similar themes, I would be so excited. And obviously if what I've said is too specific, feel free to just go in whatever direction your muses lead you! But moments of recognition/respect/self-respect from various Watsons in film would be very lovely to see.
Thanks again for your amazing vid, it was really a highlight of Holmestice and I've already watched it many times! It's so nice of you to share more with us, too, this is wonderful :)
