sherlockbbc_fic | Prompting Part XXXIV

S3 SPOILER POLICY
THE MEME NEEDS ARCHIVISTS!

GUIDELINES

Anon posting is not required, but most definitely allowed. If you think you recognise an anon, keep it to yourself and don’t out them. IP tracking is off, and will remain that way.

Multiple fills are encouraged, and all kinds of fills are accepted! Fic, art, vids, cosplay, interpretive dance — whatever. Go wild! :D

Don’t reprompt until TWO parts after the last posting of the prompt.

RPF (real person fic, i.e. fic involving the actors themselves) is not supported at this meme.

Concrit is welcome, but kinkshaming, hijacking, and flaming are not tolerated.

THE FILLED PROMPTS POST
When you fill a prompt, please use the appropriate Filled Prompts Post to archive your fill (there are instructions on the actual post).

If the part you wanted isn't up yet, just wait and one of the archivists will get to it, but please, once it is up, make sure you post your fills there according to the guidelines. DO NOT skip out on doing this because it seems like too much effort. If you want your fill to make it to the Delicious archive, that’s the way to do it.

Do not be afraid to ask questions about how it works if you are confused! The mods will be happy to explain.

WARNINGS/OFFENSIVE WORDING IN PROMPTS
Please consider warning for prompts that may trigger people (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.

That being said, this is a kink meme. As such, there will be prompts that could offend you in a number of different ways. Not every prompt will have a trigger warning, and not every prompt will rub you the right way. If you have an issue with a specific prompt, feel free to bring it up in a discussion that takes place off the meme. However, flaming will not be tolerated regardless of origin.

You are highly encouraged to scroll past any prompt that you dislike.

Remember: be civil, be friendly, but don’t be shy!

THINGS THAT MAKE BROWSING THE MEME EASIER FOR EVERYONE
Please nest your fills. Doing so will make it easier for archivists to save your fills to the Delicious archive. Using subject lines will also help people reading the meme in flatview keep track of what’s happening. Finally, titling your fills (even if it’s something silly) will be helpful to those tracking a lot of prompts or scrolling through the meme.

PROMPT FREEZES
Depending on the rate of activity, there may or may not be a prompt freeze when a part reaches 2000 and 4500 comments. However, there will be one when it reaches 7000. After the 7000 comments freeze, a new part will be posted, and all prompting should happen on the new part.

He hadn’t been far off when he had told Sherlock that he was practically a celebrity. According to Harry, this was the kind of thing celebrities had to deal with. She should know. It was her that had sent him that traitorous first link, after all.

He’d only mentioned his line to Sherlock briefly in one of his blog posts, but when he checked the blog for comments the next day, he found the link that Harry had left him with. With no explanation except form the rest of the comment (“Enjoy ;)”), he had clicked it. The page he was taken to didn’t seem like much at first. A banner at the top that said “Archive of Our Own”, a red line with a search bar and a couple of buttons, and then the main content. The main content which had the header “1 - 20 of 25751 Works in Sherlock Holmes/John Watson”. Oh.

He wasn’t sure what this whole thing was at first, obviously, but just the fact that there were 25,751 works about Sherlock and him was mildly disturbing. He would have to once again inform Sherlock to be a bit more low key. It didn’t do to have fans as a consulting detective. Filing away the thought for later, he clicked into the first ‘Work’ and started reading. Might as well get some kind of idea what this was.

“Crimes could pop up any day and it was not exactly rare that he had to call the hospital and apologize to Sarah for not being able to making it in that day because ’Something came up’. She knew what he meant, of course, having taken part in one of their crime solving that one time, so she never said anything.”

By the end of the paragraph, John was looking at the page with a somewhat incredulous expression. Alright. Someone was writing about them. About then solving crimes, apparently. Sarah was mentioned. No big deal. Scrolling further down, it seemed that there was another case, but this wasn’t one they had actually solved. Still not quite sure what he was dealing with, John came to the conclusion that someone was making up crimes that the two of them were solving together. Sort of like his blog, just fictional.

When John went back to the original page, he wasn’t quite sure how he felt about this whole thing. It was great that these people were writing and all, but… about the two of them? They were actual people after all. Couldn’t they write their own stories about their own characters? In the end, he shrugged it off, scrolling down the page, looking through the stories. Maybe he could find a funny or maybe even good one that he could show Sherlock. His flatmate would probably find it utterly ridiculous, but it was almost worth doing it just to see those pretentious eyebrows raise into his hairline in surprise.

With a slight smile on his face, John cradled his cup of tea in one hand and clicked into another story, only to be glad he hadn’t sipped said tea. If he had done so, it would probably have been all over his computer screen as his cheeks heated up and he cleared his throat somewhat uncomfortably. This one definitely wasn’t like his blog.

I can't wait to read the rest of this. It's going to be great, I can tell.

Lovely start! Can't wait for more!!!
