Guessing Post

[holmesticemods]

Thank you so much for another wonderful round of Holmestice! The mods want to say THANK YOU to all the creators who joined us for this round. You put in a lot of hard work and made some really great fanworks.

Reveals and the Master List go up on June 28th. Until then, please enjoy and comment on all the lovely fanworks. Creators, please do NOT respond to Dreamwidth comments or post your fanwork elsewhere on the Internet until reveals go up in the community. (You may of course reply to comments on AO3, which preserves your anonymity.)

But we're not done yet -- treats are coming right up! We'll continue to accept treats right through until reveals, so if there's a prompt for which you want to whip something up, please do! Just send it to holmesticemods@gmail.com using the regular submission guidelines.

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

ETA: Eeep! The earlier version of the list of creators had some errors, but it should be right now! (We hope!)

What is this "enemy" business being bandied about all of a sudden? Surely the relationship in question is more akin to that of "friendly adversary" -- comparable to that of Holmes and Irene Adler as opposed to that of, say, Holmes and Milverton.

There's clearly a misunderstanding here. I was asked a direct question ("How do you like ['em] apples?"), to which I supplied an honest answer ("In deep dish pie, with ice cream.") while requesting an opinion on whether the asking of the question constituted an offer. That opinion was that no, it didn't ("This is not Faerie..."), thereby taking the matter of actual pie wholly off the table. And since there are no genuine enemies here, the question of chucking apples -- of whatever variety -- at an enemy surely does not arise.

Not that one could easily find a Red Delicious apple in Oregon nowadays, anyway; our growers have mostly moved on to more palatable hybrids. The most prominent supermarket varieties are probably Fuji and Gala, with a brisk trade in Honeycrisp at the higher end of the scale, and quite a few Granny Smiths in the mix (good for making applesauce).
