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.

Re: interlude

[starfishstar]

Oh!!! I missed that entirely, because the entire previous round of Holmestice is a blank to me (it was in piled-up-family-crises + final-dissertation-deadline months, so I STILL haven't had a chance to even go look at the master list from last round. I still hope to!!) So I had no idea I was looking at a multi-round-spanning mystery. That's quite impressive!

ETA: Hmmm... possibility that T. Rhymer contains multitudes? Could one person have been T. Rhymer last time, then secretly handed it off to someone else? Now *that* would be a fascinating long con. (The Dread Pirate Roberts!)

Re: interlude

Iwantthatcoat said they thought about seizing the identity this round! Dueling Dread Pirate Roberts-es!!

Re: interlude

[starfishstar]

That's what made me think of it! I suppose you're right that iwantthatcoat was probably talking about *seizing* the identity, but my thought was that they could just as easily be *ceding* it deliberately to someone else.

But oh, yikes, what if someone did try to wrest control? What if control of the T. Rhymer identity came down to who managed to get there first and comment first? What if some fics received visits from two T. Rhymers??

I'M SPARTACUS!

I'M SPARTACUS!

WE ARE ALL SPARTACUS!

I look forward to the future round in which we have T. Rhymers in triplicate :)

*eyes the various T. Rhymers downthread*

I think it's already happened.

THIS IS THE BEST THING.
