Summer 2021 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 this round. Being in this community with you is a joy and an honour.

Reveals and the Master List go up on June 21st. Until then, please enjoy and comment on all the lovely fanworks. (If you haven't thanked your creator for your own gift yet, please do!) 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 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.

Go forth and leave love for your fellow Holmestice artists, authors, podficcers, and vidders! See you again on the 21st, when we reveal who made what!

Comments

[write_out]

What an amazing round! I'm still catching up but have loved everything I've read so far.

To my fellow BBC writers, I like to comment/kudos after reveals are up just to make guessing trickier. :) I can't wait to shower love on your works!

[pipmer1]

LOL I did the same thing!

[graycardinal]

This tactic is hardly limited to BBC/Sherlock writers nowadays. Which is good for making the guessing more entertaining, but nervous-making for creators who may be wondering where all their usual fans are....

[pipmer1]

Right?? I'm anxious and insecure anyway and that adds fuel, lol

[oldshrewsburyian]

It's true; I, for one, have been suppressing commentary in hopes of being less transparent than usual.

[iwantthatcoat]

I also hold off on kudos until after reveals (Unless I am deliberately using them to mislead.) Apologies wonderful writers having to wait a bit longer for the love...

[language_escapes]

To help alleviate more creator worries: I, too, tend to hold off on kudos and comments until afterwards. As I write in the small fandoms, even one kudos could give me away to our excellent guessers, and watching the guessing post is always one of my favourite parts of this exchange!
