sherlockbbc_fic | Filling Fest!

The Filling Fest Is Over. Thanks for everyone who participated!

Thanks to everyone who voted and shared their input. It really helped us figure out how things will go.

The fest will focus on prompts from Parts VI-VII (for those who want to fill prompts from the earlier days of the meme), and Parts XXIV-XXV (for those who want to revisit prompts from right after series two was aired. If you want to use the Filled Prompt Posts to browse through prompts, Part VI starts here, and Part XXIV starts here.

1. For the next three days, you can browse through those four parts and nominate prompts you’d like to see filled. Please include the full prompt and the link to the original prompt in your nomination. Those three days are for nominations only; don’t start posting your fills until this period is over.

2. After those three days, the nomination period will end and the filling period will begin. If you’re inspired by a nominated prompt, that’s great. If you prefer to look through those four parts and fill something that catches your eye, that’s great too. The filling period will last for two weeks.

3. All kinds of fills are welcome, as are multiple fills.

4. Anon posting is allowed, but not required.

5. Nominations without the link to the original prompt will be deleted. Same for nominations from parts other than VI, VII, XXIV and XXV.

6. Only post new fills that you haven’t posted anywhere before. If you have a WIP from one of those parts that’s gathering dust on your hard drive, it’s fine to post it, but only if you never started posting it.

7. Post your fill in this thread, but link to your fill in the original post (or in the Overflow post if the original post is full).

8. Please consider warning for triggery prompts (and also for fills, because some people read in flat view) and phrasing prompts in a manner that strives to be respectful. Things which you might want to consider warning for include: Rape/Non-Con, Death, Suicidal Thoughts, Self-Harm, Underage Relationships, among others.

9. If you have questions, please ask in the appropriate thread in this post.

One last thing: have fun!

The filling period will end on Saturday May 19th around 20:00 GMT.
Post your fill as a direct reply to THIS THREAD and please include the original prompt (or a summary of the prompt).

So, what do you do?

(11:32)
At last, he vanquishes technology
and figures out how his phone
works.
SH

(11:34)
I could be a woman, you know.

(11:34)
Please. Don’t insult me. If you were
a woman, I would know.
SH

(11:36)
I repeat: what do you do?

(11:37)
I’m a consulting detective. The only
one in the world.
SH

(11:38)
What’s a consulting detective?

(11:40)
When people have problems to
solve, they consult me. Scotland
Yard has a lot of problems to solve,
so they consult me a lot.
SH

(11:42)
That sounds amazing and ridiculous
at the same time. I’m not sure I
believe you.

(11:44)
Will this convince you?
SH
(Attachment: pinkladylegs.jpg)

(11:47)
Is that a corpse?!?!

(11:48)
Obviously not. It’s part of a corpse.
Legs, to be exact.
SH

(11:51)
How will a picture of a corpse
convince me that you’re solving
murders and not committing them?!

(11:53)
If I were the murderer, I would be
in prison without my mobile. Did
you notice anything special on the
picture?
SH

(11:54)
Yes. There was a dead body on it.

(11:54)
Don’t be an idiot.
SH

(12:01)
Alright, I’ll play along. It looks like
she has oedema in one of her legs, so
maybe she had a medical condition?

(12:04)
Not something painful like gout or
arthritis, her heels are too high for
that. Maybe Varicose veins?

(12:05)
Am I even close?

(12:06)
You’re a doctor.
SH

(12:07)
Maybe. Was I right?

(12:09)
Perhaps, but it wasn’t relevant to
the case. I was talking about the
splashes on her right heel and calf.
It’s how I solved the case.
SH

(12:11)
How?

(12:13)
It was proof that she had a suitcase.
Said suitcase was missing. Looked
for it, found it, solved it.
Simple.
SH

(12:15)
Nope, I still don’t get it.

(12:18)
I found her email address on her
case’s tag. I already had her
password, so I logged on to her
me.com account and tracked her
missing phone with the GPS.
SH

(12:20)
All because you knew she had a
suitcase? That’s fantastic!

(12:20)
It’s what I do.
SH

(12:24)
Is it weird that we’re speaking?

(12:24)
Is it?
SH

(12:26)
Maybe. A bit.

(12:29)
It wouldn’t be as weird if I knew
your name. SH, are those your
initials or are you shushing me in
every single one of your messages?

(12:59)
Hello? Have you been called to
another crime scene? Did someone
flash the consulting detective signal?

February 8th
(14:51)
Did I cross a line the other night
when I asked what your name is?

(14:57)
If I did, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.

(21:07)
Alright, I get the message. It was
nice talking to you.

March 25th
(21:43)
How long would it take for a heel
tattoo to start fading?
SH

(21:52)
Hello again.

(21:54)
I have absolutely no idea. Is it for a
case or are you interested in getting
a tattoo?

(21:54)
Case.
SH

(21:56)
Interesting one?

(21:58)
I’d say 7/10 for now. Can’t say
more until it’s solved.
SH

(22:01)
Have fun then. You can text me
again if you need more medical
advice.

(22:02)
Or if you want to chat.

March 27th
(22:14)
I solved it.
SH

(22:18)
Cheers! Who did it, was it the butler?

(22:19)
Where did you hear that? There
was no butler involved in the case.
SH

(22:22)
It was a joke. You know, 'the
butler did it'?

(22:24)
I have no idea what you’re talking
about, and I can assure you that the
butler hardly ever does it. In all my
cases, it only happened twice.
SH

(22:27)
Never mind. So, tell me, were you
brilliant again?

(22:29)
A smuggling ring was trading in
Chinese antiquities. It was pretty
straightforward once I cracked the
code they were using to
communicate.
SH

(22:31)
Your life sounds like a spy movie. Do
you have a gorgeous P.A. with short
skirts, stilettos and a perfect aim?

(22:31)
No.
SH

(22:31)
My brother does.
SH

(22:32)
What does your brother do?

(22:34)
He rules the world. At least, that’s
what he makes it sound like when
he talks about it.
SH

(22:37)
Hahaha! People who say siblings get
less annoying with time are idiots.

(22:39)
Hey, listen, I’m sorry I asked for your
name the other day.

(22:39)
It’s fine.
SH

(22:42)
I’ve never done this before, so it felt a
little strange, but I don’t need to
know your name, just as you don’t need
to know mine. We can be two complete
strangers texting from time to time.

(22:44)
Or we could be nothing at all.

(22:46)
God, that must be a rambling record,
I’m sorry.

(22:50)
You’re doing fine.
SH

(22:54)
Yeah, I bet I am. It’s getting late, so
I’ll head to bed. I started a new job a
few days ago and it would look
horribly unprofessional if I fell asleep.

(22:56)
Good night!

(23:57)
My name is Sherlock.
SH

squee, dude. Squee.
