holmesticeThe sign-ups are now officially open!
If you want to take part in the exchange, all you have to do is join the Dreamwidth community and create a new post using the template below with your offer and request.
If you do not have or want a Dreamwidth account, you can use your LJ OpenID to leave a comment on this post.
(ETA: You may also leave an anonymous comment on this post! Please make sure that you fill in all the identifying info in the template itself, so we know who signed up!)
Like last round, we will have an AO3 collection open for immediate, anonymous crossposting, and can include a link to your AO3 work in the original post.
The sign-up template below includes ratings for what you're willing to create and would like to receive. Sexual content is deliberately separated from violence and other mature themes, so if you are someone who enjoys PWP but not violence, you have an easy way of indicating that (or vice versa) for other Holmestice participants.
The template also includes a list of suggested Holmesian fandoms and iterations. This is not an exhaustive list! If you have another fandom in mind, please include it in your sign up! Alternatively, if you're open to any Holmesian fandom, please feel free to say so!
Use the following template.
Please note: "/" (e.g., "Holmes/Watson") indicates a romantic or sexual relationship, whereas "&" (e.g., "Holmes & Watson") indicates a friendship or other platonic/fraternal/non-sexual/non-romantic relationship.
You can edit your post until sign-ups close on October 10. Anything you add or delete after that will not be taken into account.
All stories must be a minimum of 1,000 words in length; icon posts must contain at least 10 icons; vids must be at least one minute in length. Any type of fanwork is required to go through some kind of beta process. All finished fanworks must be sent to the mods at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com on or before November 21st. If you haven't submitted your work by then and have not contacted us for an extension, we will automatically look for a pinch hitter.
Please remember that if you sign up to receive a gift, it'll only be fair if you create one as well. That said, if you have to drop out of the exchange for any reason, please e-mail contact one of the moderators as soon as possible or e-mail us at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com so we can find a pinch hitter to create a gift for your intended recipient. If you need your recipient to clarify their prompt or ask if they're all right with that one particular thing you'd like to work in, please contact us, and we'll forward the question to preserve your anonymity.
If you have ANY questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out!

I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): Fic
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Doyle’s canon & A Study in Emerald. TV/Film: Granada TV show, Ritchie films, & The Great Mouse Detective (why not)
For one or more of the following relationships: Holmes/Watson, Watson/Mary, or gen
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Angst, fluff, humor, hurt/comfort, AUs with canon divergence or something “realistic” like a coffee shop, genderbending any/all characters (as long as it doesn’t mean hetero H/W), drug addiction, mental illness, character death, case fic, gen or H/W, first-time or established relationship, any era (though I have a particular weakness for post-Reichenbach and retirement).
With any of the following ratings: Suitable for general audiences, non-explicit sexual content, any level of violence except super, horror-movie gory
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: Bondage, torture, domestic abuse, alcohol/drug abuse, self-harm, suicide, character death, crossdressing…except for The Great Mouse Detective, in which case: only crossdressing. For a Holmesticer with niche taste.
I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): Art, fic, or vids
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Canon, A Study in Emerald. TV/film: Granada TV show & Russian Holmes. Comics/radio/other: Bert Coules radio dramatizations.
For one or more of the following relationships: Holmes/Watson or friendship, which I actually really love
I like stuff in the following categories: Angst, genderbending (as long as it doesn’t mean hetero H/W), humor, case fic, established relationship, friendship, drug addiction/recovery, mental illness, bees!
With any of the following ratings: General to non-explicit sexual conduct
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: Alcohol/drug abuse, self-harm, suicide, mental illness, character death, crossdressing
Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I am all about Holmes and Watson’s relationship! It’s great if that is romantic/sexual, it’s great if it’s purely friendship. Any content that features their dynamic will be wonderful.
A few things that you should feel no obligation to include, but which make me go weak at the knees: beekeeping in Sussex, Holmes playing real violin music that I can look up on YouTube, Holmes and Watson negotiating addiction recovery, Mrs. Hudson loving her tenants but taking no crap, H or W supporting the other in mental illness, Holmes almost losing Watson, Watson doctoring Holmes, H and W’s poor communication leading to problems and being resolved.
Thank you, Holmestice mods!
