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).
Mini-Fill for Prompt from XXV.
(Anonymous) 2012-05-09 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)Fill for http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/15638.html?thread=86906134 "Mycroft didn't tell Moriarty a thing about his brother -- he told Rich Brook, his boyfriend".
**
("Lovely craftsmanship." Rich strokes his lapels without permission, daring, brush of his thumbs warm against Mycroft's chest. "You're a better man than Westwood, aren't you? Paul Smith, I think," he decides--
And Mycroft is charmed.)
He did not see what he did not wish to see. He knows that now.
But there were… warning signs… of a sort. Needling uncertainties. Niggling doubts. As he understands, it's much the same for all who find themselves thus used. Perhaps they find this solidarity comforting.
Mycroft does not.
(Charmed, and worse: flattered. Foolish, to blush at the pretty words of a pretty boy.)
Warnings, yes. Darkness in his laughter. Flares of temper, quickly snuffed, but obvious in one who was not--
(Richard Brook made his life's work comforting children with fairy tales; a nice change after a lifetime of Sherlock.)
Sherlock: another warning. Rich's curiosity about him, slightly too keen. The gleam of a magpie who's spotted gold on the battleground; what matter the means necessary to obtain it?
(Caring is not an advantage.)
He watches the CCTV footage alone as a reprimand to himself. Such disdain, game abandoned, damning words blown to him on zeroes and ones, and with a kiss.
It might have hurt a lesser man; it would have hurt him, had he not prepared for this eventuality, and been certain before the confirmation of his eyes.
(Dear me, Mr. Holmes.)
After all, isn't this how all those who choose that such a path betray? With a kiss?
