holmesticeThe sign ups are now officially open!
If you want to take part in the exchange, all you have to do is join the community and create a new post with your gift request.
Like last round, we will host the exchange on LJ but have the AO3 collection open for immediate, anonymous crossposting and can include a link to your AO3 work in the original post.
We've also made some changes to the sign up template, so if you've played along with us before you may notice some differences. We've included a new rating system for this round. You can indicate what ratings you're willing to create for or would like to receive. Sexual content is separated on this ratings system from violence and other mature themes on purpose. So if you are someone that enjoys PWP but not violence, you have an easy way of indicating that (or vice versa) for other Holmestice participants. We've also added a list of suggested Holmesian fandoms and iterations you can create for/receive work from. This is not an exhaustive list! If you have another fandom in mind, please include it in your sign up.
Please use the following new and improved template:
If you don't have an LJ account but wish to join the exchange nonetheless, please leave a comment with your request to this post.
You can edit your post until sign-ups close on April 19th. Anything you add or delete after that will not be taken into account.
All stories have to be a minimum of 1,000 words in length, icon posts should contain at least 10 icons. Any type of fanwork is required to go through some kind of beta process. All finished fanworks must be sent to the mods at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com on or before May 24th. If you haven't submitted your work by then and have not contacted us for an extension, we will automatically look for a pinch hitter.
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 e-mail contact one of the moderators as soon as possible or e-mail us at holmesticemods(at)gmail(dot)com so we can find a pinch hitter to create a gift for your intended recipient. If you need your recipient to clarify their prompt or ask if they're all right with that one particular thing you'd like to work in, please contact us, and we'll forward the question to preserve your anonymity.
We will be crossposting this to our tumblr account, but please feel free to pimp the exchange far and wide. The more participants we have, the greater the diversity and quality of fanworks!
Questions, comments, etc. are always welcome. Most importantly, have fun! :)
