Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question (courtesy of [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith): For those of us who do yarn crafts, what kinds of yarn do you prefer working with and why?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

September 22-26 is Lonely Prompts Week and it will be a challenge week!

In the past, we used to have a "winner" who completed the most fills every day, and at the end of the week, we'd announce an overall winner. But this time around, we're doing things differently! There are no winners or “losers”, just prompts that have been filled. At the end of the week, we'll be sharing a round-up post of all the lonely prompts that have been filled.

Tuesday’s Theme: All fills must be in the fluff or feel good realm.

If you leave a request, please make sure it follows the theme for the day, however, you are more than welcome to fill any lonely prompt and share the fill here. Just let me know so that I can include the totals in a separate list.

Please number your fills when leaving more than one in a comment. This helps me when I'm ready to count them up.

To find those elusive Lonely Prompts, you can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

To get things going, a few rules that I ask you all to follow.

1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from the same fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether this is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to whatever the prompt is in the community logs (whether filling or requesting it be filled), and, if you're filling the prompt, please complete the fill as a response to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom (or, if original, say so!) you're using for the response.
7. If you filled any lonely prompts earlier this week, this is the place to share them!
8. Finally, we now have a community at AO3. If you have an AO3 account, please post your fills there. More information on how to do this is located at this link.

How to link:

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
Happy to see them as best friends or in a non-traditional relationship like a QPR! I love Holmes as aspec, especially aroace, and love aspec characters in general. Also very fond of neurodivergent Holmes, and I’m up for transmasc Holmes as well! I just really love the devotion and friendship between him and Watson in any universe, and am happy with anything from just the two of them hanging out together, to dealing with canon trauma or new trauma, to a casefic.

ACD likes/prompts: Reichenbach trauma for both Holmes and Watson, Watson’s chronic pain, Holmes repeatedly wrecking his health due to self-neglect/overwork. Quiet moments at 221B, moments together during cases, the intimacy of holding hands and hiding together while robbing someone’s house. Holmes struggling with boredom and depression between cases. Holmes and his violin. The fact that they both write, do they ever help each other with their projects? Early developing friendship, more cases together. Sussex retirement together, beekeeping, finding new interests. Holmes happily rambling about his interests while Watson happily listens. Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.

Study in Emerald likes/prompts: More hunts together, day in the life of Holmes’ and Watson’s work, exploration of how they interact with this world. Worldbuilding, general eldritch horror, looks into how this society functions. Hunts gone wrong and putting each other back together (mentally or physically), blood everywhere, fragile sanity. Quiet moments between the horrors, finding joy in dark moments, keeping each other company. Watson writing plays, Holmes performing them. Is Watson keeping a chronicle of their work in this world too? How does Holmes use his deductive skills as a hunter? Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.

Granada likes/prompts: Reichenbach trauma for both Holmes and Watson, dealing with fallout from other traumatic cases. Watson’s chronic pain, Holmes completely annihilating his heath because he can’t take care of himself. Holmes not wanting to eat/sleep/do commonplace tasks and having sensory/touch issues. Wrapping Holmes in lots of blankets and scarves. Early developing friendship, more cases, domestic moments at Baker Street. Holmes and his violin, scattering papers wildly everywhere, and generally having weird coping mechanisms especially when depressed. Watson getting to be a doctor while respecting boundaries. Mrs. Hudson taking care of both of them. Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.

The Awakened likes/prompts: Early developing friendship and getting to know each other. Cases with or without eldritch horror (and for ones without, do they worry about what they might run into?). Holmes struggling to hold onto reality, Watson taking care of him, them taking care of each other. Cases gone wrong and putting each other back together (mentally or physically), blood everywhere, fragile sanity. Quiet moments between the horrors, finding joy in dark moments, keeping each other company. Grappling with cults and horrors and being compelled to do creepy rituals. Aspec Holmes (especially aroace), neurodivergent Holmes.

Do Not Wants: Permanent character death (temporary fine, killing minor OCs fine. Villain death great!). Focus on death-related grief/mourning (fine for presumed dead or temporary death as long as there’s a happy ending). Pet death. Sad/hopeless endings. Setting change AU (adding elements like wings etc welcome!). Pregnancy, focus on unrequested kids, breakups between requested characters. Therapy. Hospitalization longer than a week, cancer/terminal illness. Noncon between requested characters. Omegaverse. Scat, mommy/daddy kink, ageplay. Genderswap.

I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: I'm okay with canon-level violence, mild torture for hurt/comfort situations,

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive:
Do Not Want: Non-con, Permanent character death, Detailed descriptions of gore like blood, viscera, etc. Anything involving feces or urine, cheating, 2nd person POV, tragic endings

General Holmes/Watson prompts:
-Holmes & Watson having to pretend to be a couple for a case, I'm not sure quite how this would work with the Victorian era boys or the 1940s era lads, but I would love to see someone take a crack at it
-Holmes’ enemies hurt Watson to get back at Holmes. So they kidnap him, or beat him up, or something else, to send Holmes a message. You can make it a canonical enemy like Moriarty and his gang, Baron Gruner, etc, or you can make up your own evil villain.
-someone is trying to blackmail Watson. Watson in the past has written a romance story between two men, somehow someone has gotten a hold of it and is threatening to expose Watson to the authorities. Watson, knowing about the dangers of blackmail from working cases, turns to Holmes for help.
-Holmes is investigating a case, without Watson, which takes him to an underground gay men's club, he is surprised to see Watson there
-Watson gets drugged in some fashion (by accident? by some villain?) and it makes him overly affectionate and amorous with Holmes. Also, maybe cue scene after he has sobered up and poor Watson is so embarrassed, but maybe it leads to them having a discussion around their feelings for each other?
-Watson has made the acquaintance of a widow woman on a neighbouring street, and somehow Holmes has discovered that every once and awhile Watson and this woman engage in “intimate relations” i.e. sex. This greatly disturbs Holmes, but he has a hard time understanding why at first, it takes some introspection for Holmes to realize it’s because he has romantic feelings for his Watson (About the widow, I see her being an independent woman about the same age as Watson, and she has no interest in marrying Watson, they just like to have a little fun on occasion)
-Watson sustains a severe head injury, and afterwards he has trouble concentrating or experiences mood swings, or anything else you can think of, and Watson is afraid he is no longer a fit companion for Holmes

Granada prompts:
-if doing something visual like art, a vid, etc, I usually prefer Hardwicke's Watson over Burke's, not that I don't love Burke!Watson, it's just that I almost always picture Hardwicke in my head now
-any exploration of the aftermaths of "The Empty House" or "The Devil's Foot". Also I love the idea of them becoming "a couple" or just having discussions/exploring their relationship in The Devil's Foot cottage, it is such an introspective time for Holmes, and they are away from "normal" society.

Rathbone Holmes prompts:
-anything about the two of them surviving the real trials of WWII together, like The Blitz, rationing, in one film we saw that Watson had gone to the country to volunteer at a home that looked after wounded soldiers so if you would like to explore Watson's medical service that would be good too. Also, assuming in this universe Watson's army service would have been in WWI, does he have any truma or PTSD around that, and having to go through another war? Maybe going through all of this together convinces them to stop hesitating and get together.
-in The Spider Woman the villain set it up so that Watson would kill Holmes and not even realize it, we can assume that Watson found out about this afterwards, how did he feel about this? How did Holmes feel knowing that his beloved companion would be the instrument of his own death?
-in The Woman in the Green Dress, hypnotism is used on both Watson and Holmes at different points, and I really thought Moriarty was going to have Watson hypnotized and he would be sent to harm, kill, (or in my fanfic brain) possibly seduce Holmes. Also, what if Holmes had actually been hypnotized and hadn't just been pretending? How does Watson care for Holmes after he was recused from Moriarty?
-Mycroft never makes an appearance in the Rathbone films, but he is mentioned so we know he exists, show me what you think 1940s Mycroft is like

The Great Mouse Detective prompts:
-any hurt/comfort is appreciated. Maybe Dawson patches Basil up after his encounter with Rattigan, or maybe Dawson gets hurt/ill and needs to be cared for
-a villain goes after Dawson for some reason (to get back at Basil, because Dawson helped someone the villain hates, etc) and Basil goes into protection mode, no one hurts his companion!
-Dawson adjusting to living with Basil, with his constant experiments, his bouts of melancholy, etc., and maybe Basil having to learn to have a little consideration for his new flatmate. Also, how chuffed is Basil that he has a companion now just like Holmes has Watson, I'm sure he's very pleased about it.
-If you're an artist and want to show me what you think the mouse versions of Lestrade or Mycroft look like, and what their names would be, that would be delightful

Sherlock & Daughter prompts:
-Watson was so huggy and clingy when Holmes found him because he was drugged, I would love to see more of that, maybe during the carriage ride back or at their return to Baker St. Just Watson not wanting to let Holmes go.
-if you want to explore any internal angst either felt during their separation that would be great, and maybe once they are together again it leads to the two of them revealing their feelings for each other
-Holmes and Watson trying to co-parent Amelia in some fashion, like they have a young woman living with them that might need some guidance on occasion, are they good at it? Bad? Somewhere in between?

Super late start to Lonely Prompts week. In about 10 hours or so, I'll have the post for Day 2.

---

September 22-26 is Lonely Prompts Week and it will be a challenge week!

In the past, we used to have a "winner" who completed the most fills every day, and at the end of the week, we'd announce an overall winner. But this time around, we're doing things differently! There are no winners or “losers”, just prompts that have been filled. At the end of the week, we'll be sharing a round-up post of all the lonely prompts that have been filled.

Monday’s Theme: LGBT Day

More Information: Every fill has to be focused on a lesbian/gay/bisexual/trans character or pairing. Also note, character and/or pairing does not have to be canon within the fandom.

Also, to make up for this entry being a day late, I apologize that for as life got busy over the weekend and all day Monday, the prompt for Tuesday will be posted in 5 hours.

If you leave a request, please make sure it follows the theme for the day, however, you are more than welcome to fill any lonely prompt and share the fill here. Just let me know so that I can include the totals in a separate list.

Please number your fills when leaving more than one in a comment. This helps me when I'm ready to count them up.

Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you!

HAPPY REQUESTING/WRITING/FILLING!

Winter 2025 Signups Are Open!

The sign-ups are now open!

Treats Policy: As of February 2022, AO3 has introduced a setting to let users opt out of receiving additional gifts outside of formal exchanges (in Holmestice terms, "treats"). Please indicate whether you are or are not open to receiving additional fan works based on your sign-up. Also be sure to check your AO3 account preferences, under "Collections, Challenges and Gifts". AO3 accounts made before February 2022 default to ALLOW gifts, whereas new accounts default not to. Because signups are not handled through AO3, you MUST turn on treat ability if you want your gift posted to AO3. More information regarding this setting is available on AO3.

If you have a Dreamwidth account, join the Dreamwidth community and create a new post using the template below with your offer and request. The template is designed to be used with the HTML editor (not the Rich Text editor).

If you do not want a Dreamwidth account, you can leave your sign-up as a comment on this post using the "Anonymous" option. If you choose to use the Anonymous option, please make sure you correctly fill in all the identifying info in the template, so we know who signed up and how to contact you.



The sign-up template below includes ratings for what you're willing to create and would like to receive. Sexual content is deliberately separated from violence and other mature themes, so if you are someone who enjoys PWP but not violence, you have an easy way of indicating that (or vice versa) for the mods and other Holmestice participants.

The template also includes a list of suggested Holmesian fandoms and iterations. This is not an exhaustive list -- if you have another fandom in mind, please include it in your sign up! Alternatively, if you're open to offering or receiving any Holmesian fandom, please feel free to say so. (Although do make clear what you mean by "any" -- very few people truly can offer every pastiche, film, television, radio, and graphic novel adaptation ever made!)

Please note when putting down relationships:

It is becoming a challenge to find songs with September in the title which I can tolerate. This is a kind of Beach Boys do wop song.

At the bottom of the sea

Yesterday I started watching season 2 of Wednesday with the first ep. It’s obviously a lot of setup, with Wednesday’s first day back at Never ore, dealing with hero worship and, of course, being annoyed by it. There’s also two mysteries already: an investigator that got pecked to death by ravens and Wednesday has a stalker. Are they connected? I guess we’ll see.

Xavier has been put on a bus which is a shame but at least had an in universe explanation that makes sense. Pugley is also joining Nevermore this year and already he has what might be a sub plot of his own. I already don’t like or trust the new head and it feels I’m right not too. Also it looks like Morticia is gonna have a bigger roll to play this year (which explains the Lego set!). It remains to be seen if that’s good or not. (Personally I wasn’t sold on Catherine Zeta Jones as her in season 1.)

Then there was dnd which went well, though I had to be muted at the start cause Leia was jumping everywhere and I was worried she’d knock things over. But it was also a mix of sad, sweet and ominous.

I started Borderlands 4 and did the opening quest though ran into trouble cause of a glitch. Thankfully exiting and restarting solved it though I am so pissed how it ended. (Why'd the hot guy have to die😭)

Then last night there was a nature documentary. I love nature stuff, even though Naryu tends to bark at the animals and get worked up, but I especially love stuff to do with the sea. This one was about a deep sea expedition to find coelacanth.

Now the coelacanth is famously known as a living fossil. It was around when the dinosaurs were and was believed extinct long ago… until one was found fished up. (Though if I remember right indigenous people already were aware of them.) Ones have been found fished up and washed ashore since but until now they weren’t seen. Luckily the expedition was successful! It found one hiding between rocks and they watched her for 30+ hours to see what she’d do.

And she spent that time just staying in the same spot, which is relatable. Eventually she went for a swim and joined a bunch of other coelacanth just chilling out in a lil cave. It was honestly so incredible to see them and you can even tell them apart by their markings. There really is something so strangely endearing about them too.

In the night I watched Alien Earth. I’m an ep behind so this one was The Fly. There was A Lot of poor communication going on throughout the whole thing (as well as bad decisions!), though I can’t help but wonder if at least some was intentional. Also Boy Kavalier shown off his feet again(If the alien universe has a wiki feet his must go crazy) and he proved that, while he appears dismissive he isn’t an idiot. (Though it does seem his head of security might be undermining him as well as Yutani plotting)

Today’s been an ok day, though tiring cause of taking Naryu for a longer walk. But! There’s finally a trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu! There’s also a description, but it’s so vague it could mean anything. It’s so cool seeing a u-wing and lil Grogu being cute and Sigourney Weaver.

There’s also more MCR dates been announced, though there’s not one in Birmingham (there’s more for London, plus Liverpool and Glasgow). I’m kinda glad for that though, it’ll be a feeding frenzy and I’m not prepared for that at all. But good luck if you’re gonna try!

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question (courtesy of [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith): For those of us who do yarn crafts, what kinds of yarn do you prefer working with and why?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!
