holmesticeThe sign-ups are now open!
If you have a Dreamwidth account, 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. (Although do make clear what you mean by "any" -- very few people truly can offer every pastiche, film, television, radio, and graphic novel adaptation ever made!)
Please note when putting down relationships:
Do please make sure you're using / and & correctly in your sign-ups, as we use it to determine matches, and your match will use it to determine what sort of relationships to write for you.
Matches will be made on fandom, characters/pairings, categories, and ratings. All other details you include (besides any "do not wants") are optional; i.e., your gift-maker may take inspiration from any specific prompt you include, but they are not required to use them.
Use the following template.
You can edit your post until sign-ups close on March 31. 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 25. 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 if you want to ask whether 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): Podfic - either of one of your own fics, or if you want a podfic made of someone else's work you will need written permission from the author. Fic length can be up to 20,000 words (so podfic will be max 2 hours). I will also add lead-in and lead-out music and make a simple cover for the podfic as well. Fanfic - up to 20,000 words.
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Doyle - Canon;Sherlock BBC
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Any pairing aside from underage and incest.
I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Established Relationship; Friendship; Humor; Case Fic; First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence
With any of the following ratings: delete any that do not apply 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes; 4) moderate to explicit graphic violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes. Podfic: In regards to sex scenes, non-explicit or fade-to-black are my preference. If your fic is explicit but you are OK with editing those scenes before I narrate it then we can work with that too.
I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: torture; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; suicide; character death; child abuse; etc.
I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Canon; Sherlock BBC
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: John Watson and Sherlock Holmes, John Watson / Sherlock Holmes
I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Angst; Alternate Universe; Romance; Hurt/Comfort; Friendship; Humor; First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence
With any of the following ratings: delete any that do NOT apply 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) 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: domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse; self-harm; suicide; child abuse
Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: Art: Something dramatic and angsty with Sherlock and John would be fabulous - no character death, but dark and emotive, or horrific and gory would be great. I would ask permission afterwards to write a fic based on the artwork - if not, no worries. If that's a no-go, then some Sherlock and John hurt/comfort would be lovely. Fic: I would like an asexual Sherlock please :-D The rest of the fic can be as dark or fluffy as you like, but an ace Sherlock coming to terms with being ace (and/or other characters like John being involved in reaching that understanding) is the core of my request.
Special requests: I haven't done Holmestice before, exciting! I'm not sure I filled this out correctly - I am OK to give two gifts, and receive two in return, e.g. I make a podfic and a fic for two different people, and get back an artwork and a fic from two different people. If that's not how it works then you can just choose from the details above. Thanks!
