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).

Do you have questions? Post them here!

So say we see one we'd like to fill, do we say so? Or wait?

You could go ahead and nominate it if you like, wait and see if someone else nominates it, or you could wait until nominations are closed and fill it. Whatever you would most prefer. :)

When are they closed? Like its the 6th for me.

Nominations close at 8:00 tonight GMT.

hmm.. Idk GMT what? Sorry! I'm australia, just trying to get the times right.

Global Mountain Time? It's hard to explain. It's 325 GMT right now, so in about 4 1/2 hours it's be 8.

Oh its 1:55am Sunday here...so when I get up tommorow then.

Lol! Well, there you go. :)

Greenwich Mean Time, surely???

Oh right...sorry. I was thinking of something else.

Is there a way to see all the nominations without expanding each one separately?

flatview seems to be the easiest option.

Not so much a question as a polite request: Could the mods please put a reminder for fillers to put warnings in their posts? It's great that there are fills, but some of us don't want to accidentally read a fill that delves into topics we're not comfortable with.

Also a suggestion for fillers to put up (a summery of) the original prompt or something besides just a link to the original posts? For mobile devices it's harder to go to links posted by anonymous comments.

Please and thank you very much.

Done :-)

We can fill or claim now?

Sorry, can we start filling now?

Yes, absolutely!

Is it OK to post here after 05/19? My week has sadly not been conducive to finishing yet and I might not be done til Sunday (I'm in same time zone as NYC if that matters). Or is that not good?

Second that. I was already dreading the Saturday deadline and didn't at all realize that it was in GMT which is like mid afternoon on a Saturday for us Americans. Not going to happen.

No problem at all at all :-)

Yes, it's perfectly fine.

It's not like there's a a voting period or anything that needs a precise deadline. Since the goal was to encourage fills from earlier posts, we'll be glad to read yours, even if it's a bit late.

I thank you & my beta also thanks you!
