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.

Ellipses: I copied Townsend's ellipses in my own work -- ". . ." --- which is an ellipsis style I have literally NEVER used before, hoping that it would make me less recognisable. I had NO IDEA that particular ellipsis was vulgarweed's own preferred style, and that you were in fact attempting to replicate it for your own work!

[iwantthatcoat]

Well, it didn’t make meeee less noticeable now, did it?

[sanguinity]

Alas, it isn't any given ellipsis that is the hallmark of your style, but the variation in the collection in toto...

[iwantthatcoat]

I used Find and Replace! Clearly I have no skills at F&R!!! I have no idea why! It’s the iPad’s fault.
(Of course that only works when you are finding and replacing “...” and not “ ...” or “... “, and I have been known to use all three.) I blame the iPad for this as well. I don’t think I am always hitting that space key quite fully.
If I wasn’t addicted to ellipses I’d be fine.

[sanguinity]

You are resourceful enough that I have no doubt you will solve this problem. Maybe not this next round, but you'll figure out something, I'm sure.

Ha! I did the same, used ". . ." in my NRK fic, which I don't usually do, in the vague hope it might make me look like someone else, or at least a little less like myself. But since that's a treat and posted late, there wasn't really any opportunity to find out whether or not I'd managed to mislead anyone. :-)
