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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

For reasons unknown to John, Sherlock starts saying chat up lines to him (could be a case, for science or a tip from *insert characters name here/ random magazine name*'s tips to woo John) but really, he's not so good at them.

Instead of them being like "How much does a polar bear weigh? It doesn't matter but at least it broke the ice." It come out more... Sherlockian (for example "How much does a polar bear weigh?" then he gives the average weight of a fully sized polar bear and afterwards stands there doing a rather manic stare because he was told/ read that eye contact is a must.)

Bonus points-

-Sherlock is actually a fantastic flirt but is doing it on purpose for science/ to make John laugh which he's also heard is a great way to seduce people.

-His flirting gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on.

- John decides to give Sherlock a taste of his own medicine after he starts getting annoyed with how long it goes on for and it ends up being a strange flirting war between them which Sherlock DEFINITELY wasn't expecting

I don't know. It popped into my head after a guy tried to flirt with me at work (which is strange in itself) ... At least I think that's what he was doing...

It could be done as a 5 +1 perhaps or anything really. Also RTYIs would be awesome. Please and thank you!!!

This is such a cute prompt (and not just because I can relate to weird flirting...)

Wanna share how that guy at work did it? Sorry not trying to be too nosy so..

SECONDING!

The guy came over to me while I was working and said (and I think I'm quoting him right)

"Do you have some bread?"

I looked at him confused as I don't work in a food place and I wasn't expecting to be flirted with and said no. Then he said

"Pity because these swans are sick."

And flexed his muscles while wiggling his eyebrows. I just backed away slowly. Still... It's funny looking back at it.

Actually.... If someone puts that into a fill for my prompt, I will love them forever. XD.
