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.

Soul mates are a real thing and people usually hold onto "wisps" of them. As in a person has 'visions' almost like faded memories or clips of their soulmate- their fingers across their favored instrument, a babies laughing eyes, the smell of their favorite perfume, that persons first illicit activity, sirens and anger...etc. Tiny things that give hints as to where their soul mates are and who they are. Nothing concrete or defining (and this would make it really interesting to see with someone like the Holmes ; them trying to solve it and scouting out places and such).People are supposed to use these hints (according to society) to find their soul mate. They won't know it's them (though they may get a feeling or they may match the "wisps" with a person) until a while after meeting that person and interacting with them. For most people it's a gradual realization , for others it can come out of no where (+5 If John's realization comes out of no where vs Sherlock's where he gradually figures it out). If a person misses their soul mate (like they meet but than depart) they sometimes realize it too.

However, sometimes people get their soulmate wrong. Other times (and this could be rare or not as rare as people are lead to believe) the images and such are a warning. Not a here they are but a stay away.

Bonuses:
*Fav pairings(that don't have to stay pairings or be the main ones):
-Jim/John
-Seb/John
-Crieff/John (I think this one would be rather interesting...Crieff as in from Cabin Pressure)
-Rare pair

I like pretty much all the pairings though except for Sherlock/Molly and Sherlock/Irene. Those above are just my most favorite. Any orientation and a lack of actual sex/romance is fine too but please no John or Sherlock genderbend. Feel free to make it gen too if you can somehow work that out!

*Mycroft spends all his time trying to NOT figure out his soulmate. Sherlock, meanwhile , does the opposite for his own reason (he says to avoid them but in reality he is kinda lonely...) and keeps saying he's found them , goes maybe years thinking he is on to something, only for it to turn out that nope he's wrong again.

*Mycroft finds his soulmate first and their connection is so powerful he literally can't keep away.

*Seb and John...somehow in someway.

*Mrs. Hudson finds a new soulmate!
Umbrella corporation...lol
