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.

Exactly what is says on the tin. You can ignore these if you want but if you need a little inspiration.

-Lestrade as Director trying to keep everything going smoothly even though his star reporter is Sherlock Holmes.
-Sherlock as reporter who can't help injecting his own personal views and demeaning remarks gets many angry letters from viewers - but more marriage proposals.
- Sherlock following dangerous leads for the best story.
- John as his Cameraman who has to follow Sherlock into said dangerous situations. And who everyone at home knows because Sherlock can't stop talking to John while on Camera; i.e. "We all know that the PM isn't going to sign the agreement, John, it's a stalling tactic." "Sherlock for the last time stop talking to me! Talk to the camera."
- John who was a award-winning war photojournalist in Afghanistan but got injured and now can't get back into the field (his injury prevents him, no one will send him saying he was reckless, insurance won't cover him) and had to take a job as a news cameraman. Thankfully he is paired with Sherlock which is almost the same thing.
- Molly as a Weather girl.
- Sally and Anderson as a rival reporter cameraman duo who always have to try and beat Sherlock and John to the story and always complain about Sherlock getting better assignments, to which Lestrade replies "He finds his own stories."
- Mrs. Hudson doing human interest stories.
- Irene Adler, a Barbra Walters/David Frost type interviewer from another network, who once did a really biting interview with Sherlock that he never forgave her for though both still have a thing for each other.
- Mycroft as the head news anchor because... mainly because I want to see the look of complete exasperation on his face after one of Sherlock's reports. Athena is his co-anchor and she just smiles serenely and calmly while he uses all his willpower to not walk off camera and bang his head against a wall.
- Mary is meant to be a make-up artist and John's girlfriend/wife but she seems to come to Sherlock and John with leads a lot more often than one would expect...
- Moriarty as Moriarty. But he sends all his clues to Sherlock and the news station. He calls himself Sherlock's biggest fan.

Have fun and thanks!

I'd love to see this, although the first thing that came to my mind was Sherlock in a Roland Hedley hat.
