Sussex Retirement 'verse and other writing matters

This month I shall be writing the final fic in my Sussex Retirement cycle.  What began as a series of fics to fulfil prompts in older_not_dead expanded to take in a few of the monthly prompts from watsons_woes and then took further flight as I brought in some more indirect characters from the 'verse.  The last chapter of April's fic, Easter Visitors, wove together Inspector Stanley Hopkins and his family, with Seth, the gardener, and his.

The more observant of you will notice there are already 12 fics, in what should presumably only to an 11 fic series so far.  This is because there was an additional entry for Christmas.  I shall certainly be leaving the 'verse 'open' for further occasional fics - I'm too fond of the village and the characters I've created to want to leave forever.

However, this will be the final fic in the 12 month cycle and thus the point of this post.  I know there are a few loyal readers of this 'verse - I don't expect many - Holmes and Watson are retired and have slowed down and this is written as the retirement they deserve; life in Baker Street may be described as forever 1895, here is forever 1908ish, with no sound of the future drums of war.  But, if you have been reading, is there anything you would like to see in this final fic?  The only constraints are that it fits the tenor of the series and is set during May.

I can guarantee there will be at least one more fic later in the year.  There are so many honey prompts which I am keen to use, but we, like Holmes, will have to wait for the right time for honey.

As an aside, I have not forgotten either the Lucas/Adam fic I am writing, or Watson 1918.  A week or so ago I began to feel overwhelmed by the amount of writing I had on.  There are regular challenges, plus I'm signed up for three exchanges during the next couple of months.  So I decided to take a step back from the two fics which have no deadline and concentrate on those that do.  None of the exchanges have a minimum wordage of more than 1,500 words, which I know won't be a problem, but it all felt too stressful.  And since writing is fun (!) it made sense to remove the perceived pressure.  Neither have been abandoned, and if all else fails, one of them will benefit from mini_wrimo in November.
