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, our twentieth round -- especially given how tumultuous these last months have been. Being in this community with you is a joy and an honour.

Reveals and the Master List go up on June 20th. Until then, please enjoy and comment on all the lovely fanworks. Creators, please do NOT respond to Dreamwidth comments or post your works elsewhere on the Internet until reveals go up in the community. You may of course reply to comments on AO3, which preserves your anonymity.

In the meanwhile, stay tuned: treats are coming up! For anyone thinking of making a treat, we will accept treats right through until reveals, so if there's a prompt that inspires you, please have at it! Just use the regular submission guidelines and send your headers to holmesticemods@gmail.com.

If you'd like to guess who created what in this round, here's a list of all the contributors for the main gifts. (You'll have to put in some extra work to guess the treat-makers!) Go ahead and take a guess! It's all in good fun.

Psst. *whispers* Hit me up next round if you want to know the traditional copyediting rules around ellipses and dashes...

[starfishstar]

I'd actually love to hear those guidelines, too – and not even for guessing purposes, just for me! I spent years working more or less in a journalism context (in Germany, but following American English usage rules, but with a lot of bumping up against British English...) so I'm very conversant in that one highly particular subset of usage guidelines – but not so much anything else!

I will. Teaching and not knowing these things irks me. I am more ot less required to follow the “commas only when required” rules because it would make my students fail their testing. I don’t bother with rules while I converse, because that is my only moment of freedom, but it is still habit in published stuff. I never took a grammar course in my life (shuffled school-to-school and tested out if it in college) so I have had to learn it all on my own. If it was ingrained, it would be far easier.

Dammit! Why does it keep putting me back into anon!
