holmesticeThe sign-ups are now open!
If you want to take part in the exchange (and have a Dreamwidth account), all you have to do is join the Dreamwidth community and create a new post using the template below with your offer and request. The template is designed to be used with the HTML editor (not the Rich Text editor).
If you do not want a Dreamwidth account, you can leave your sign-up as a comment on this post, either using the "Anonymous" option or by using your LJ OpenID. If you choose to use the Anonymous option, please make sure you correctly fill in all the identifying info in the template, so we know who signed up and how to contact you.
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 the mods and 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 offering or receiving any Holmesian fandom, please feel free to say so.
Please note when putting down relationships:
Do please make sure you're using / and & correctly in your sign-ups, as we do use it to determine matches, and your match will use it to determine what sort of relationships to write for you.
Use the following template.
You can edit your post until sign-ups close on April 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 posted to AO3 and/or sent to the mods at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com on or before May 24th. Directions on how to post/submit your work will be posted to the community later in the round. If you don't submit your work by the due date and have not contacted us for an extension, we will automatically look for a pinch hitter.
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 include, please contact us at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com, and we'll forward the question for you to preserve your anonymity.
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 contact one of the moderators as soon as possible by e-mailing us at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com so we can find a pinch hitter to create a gift for your intended recipient.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out!

I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic or meta
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Sherlock BBC; Ritchie films; Doyle stories; Granada TV Series
Please list any pairings (or threesomes or moresomes) you are comfortable working with. “Other” (Holmes/Other) and “anyone” (Mycroft/Anyone) are acceptable answers, as is “none” (Gen or Friendship only). Anyone, with a preference for rare pairs
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Domesticity, Casefic, Established Relationship, Friendship, Established relationship. I am fairly flexible, Canon expansion. I am rather flexible on content, and happiness with prompts that let work with "thinky thoughts" (deeper themes, real-world philosophy/religion, etc.)
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: character death; pedophilia; sexual kinks (kink being somewhat subjective, but generally speaking I am not the best author for explicit sexual content straying too far from the vanilla); non-sexual torture and extreme violence
I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): fic, meta
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Doyle Canon; Ritchie Holmes; BBC Sherlock pre-Reichenbach Fall only
(If some brave soul wants to take the energy and dynamic of the unaired pilot and write me a further adventure with those two, that would be oh so very welcome.)
For one or more of the following relationships: Aside from Sherlock/Molly and Sherlock/John/Mary in the BBC 'verse, I am flexible here. I have a preference for rarepairs over John/Sherlock and Mycroft/Lestrade at this point. Mycroft/anyone (including Mycroft/Sherlock), Molly/anyone (except Sherlock/Molly), Moriarty/anyone (consensual) -- or gen fics featuring on those characters -- would be particularly welcome.
I like stuff in the following categories: I enjoy character-centric explorations, canon gapfillers (i.e. fleshing out a referenced incident into a story of its own, anything "thinky" (religious/philosophical themes, ethical conflicts, tie-ins with real life history, etc.) Casefic welcome, as is more relationship-driven fic and humor (I always love to laugh. While I'm never one to be bothered by a few canon revisions for the sake of a better story, I do most enjoy fic that feels at least vaguely in-universe (no outright AU's).
With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 5) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: No pedophilia, no sexual kink, no suicide, no torture or extreme kink.
Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
I've been rereading A Study in Scarlet, which to my mind doesn't get nearly the attention it's due in fandom. Nor does the BBC "A Study in Pink" episode. So I'd particularly appreciate a gapfiller of sorts, or a prequel/sequel inspired by it, for either the novel or the BBC episode. I'd love a Ritchie-style take on this first case, too! And if you somehow work in a snarky, competitive Lestrade and Gregson, that would be lovely.
(This is only one idea, though, so if my gifter wants to take my earlier preferences in a different direction, I certainly won't be disappointed.)
Special requests: While I love reading Johnlock, I'd love the chance to explore other characters this round, and to work with Doyle or Ritchie if possible. Thanks!
