sherlockbbc_fic | Prompting Part XXXV

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.

Thank you *blushes*

OH MY GOD THAT WAS BRILLIANT! Initially I just wanted to thank you anonymously but you deserve more than that.

I just happen to scroll by accident and God I found the most adorable fic I've ever read! If I could just write a detailed review of this fic right now I would but I couldn't because you lost me for words. Okay, I'm a pile of mess. Let me calm down for a sec...

*takes in deep breath*

First, thank you for filling this. The prompt was innovative and creative but you made it spectacular and one of a kind. Now that I started to write fan fics myself, I know how it feels to be in a writer's block. Still, you managed to pass through it and give us a wonderful story and for that I am grateful and in awe.

Second,you've nailed it! The characters, the emotions and I love it that you managed to keep it in canon timeline. I could this totally happen in the series and in fact, this is now added to my personal headcanon!

Third, oh the jumbled emotions I feel right now. It's heartbreaking in a way Mycroft can only express his love for his baby brother through writing books under a pseudonym and the fact that Sherlock adores this "Amelia Kipling" (okay,that was the understatement of the century)touches me right through the heart.

Yet it also....damnnit, tears are falling right now and I don't know why (not kidding by the way)...it also is heartwarming because Mycroft revealed his identity to Mary, of all people,that through the books he wrote with Will in mind, he can continue to love Sherlock in this way by passing on his stories to their daughter(since they're the most important people to Sherlock). Once you get the logic behind, it actually makes sense and strikes a chord somewhere deep in you.

Anon, You've changed my life. Like seriously, I wonder why the best stories that made me laugh, cry, warm and fuzzy inside are fan fictions? Your story made me realize that sometimes, as we grow up, we begin to forget the once who never leaved us and loved us right from the start. How I wish I could share this with my non sherlockian friends. Though seriously, I wish you could de-anon that you may receive proper credit of how an amazing author you are. But I understand of course, if you wish to remain the anon status. Should you however decide to repost this in lj/ao3, you know where to find me and rest assured I'll be your first fan.

Thank you, and have a nice day!

Love, Kathy.

Wow – I’m absolutely lost for words. Have been since I first saw your review. Firstly. Thank you for reading and for leaving such a detailed comment.

I totally agree. A huge amount of kudos needs to go to the re-prompter (who I don’t know if they’ve read this but if they have, I hope they enjoyed it) because the prompt is utter genius. The meme needs more like this than the same old, same old. I’d have never thought of writing this on my own but when I saw it I was just inspired and couldn’t get the Mycroft and Mary scene out of my head. I’m so curious because we didn’t see them interact at all but she’s smart, can possibly outsmart Sherlock – certainly more so than normal people, so Mycroft has to respect that. Spooks tend to.

Ultimately I like Mary as a character – she’s complex and sweet and ruthless and more and I wanted to do justice to that and respect that. Who best to show that with than the man who’d probably lost the most if Sherlock did die on that operating table (because it really isn’t John given Mary and the baby). And how best to show how much Mycroft is prepared to care than to play him off the person who almost cost him his heart. Sorry – part 2 is necessary and I liked it a lot but its part 1 of this story that really got me – if that hasn’t already come across!

I seriously don’t know what to say to your last paragraph but a heartfelt thank you. As a said, it’s all about the prompts – the good ones tend to inspire wonderful writing and this truly is a gem in the rarity that is a Mycroft and Sherlock brotherly prompt. Finally this story (with minor edits only hence why I didn’t post a link for this prompt) is on AO3 – you can find it and me under SStar.
