Announcement: Prompt Fest in October; Open Posting in December

[holmesticemods]

Thank you everyone for your kind words about our going on hiatus this winter; your support means a lot to us.

For those who would still like to do a little something this fall and winter:

1. In October, we'll begin soliciting prompts for a prompt fest. Prompt what you like and fill what you like: no claims, no minimums, and no anonymity. We'll open an AO3 collection for fills, and will reveal that collection on Dec 1, keeping it open for further fills through December 31.
   
   
2. In December, we'll have open posting: fills, treats, sequels, related works, and any Holmesian anything you care to make. You may post to the above collection (which will be revealed on Dec 1 and will stay open for further posting through December 31), or you may post directly to the Dreamwidth community. Again, no anonymity, no minimums, no scheduling: we're just opening a space for any work you'd like to share with the community.

In both cases, the intent is to provide an open play space for those who would enjoy it -- absolutely no pressure of any kind for anyone. (To those of you who were looking forward to taking the winter off, please don't let this disturb your plans!)

Again, thank you for the kind words, and if we don't see you around this winter, we hope to see you again in the spring!

What a WONDERFUL compromise, I can't wait to join in! I have to confess I'm starting to feel the absence of our beloved exchange <3

This sounds lovely! I don't know if I will participate or simply cheer on those who do, but I'm happy there will be a creative space here with no pressure attached :)

YAY! This is going to be so much fun, I think. Thank you for doing this! I value the work you do so much, and I hope you enjoy your break. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know.
