Thanks for the tag @lisbeth-kk

Serendipity.

I’ve always loved that work. (And Petrichor which someone already said)

@kettykika78 @khorazir @fuckoffwatson @lockedin-221b @bluebuell33

Quick ! Think of a word you like ! 

Not necessarily your favorite word, it doesn’t even have to be a word you usually like ! Just a word that right now, at this moment, you look at and think “ooh what about this one”.

It can be a word you find funny, pretty, strange, scary, anything really ! You don’t need to tell me why you choose that word (though I’d love to know if you want to tell me), just give me a word ! 

(It’d be lovely if we made this into a chain but there’s no pressure <3)

uhhhhh sanguine? (literally the only word that popped up into my head rn but it’s prettyyy and sounds like summer to me in some inexplicable way 😌✨)

oh sure!

Lineart inspired by the brilliant Johnlock fic On the Staircase by @naefelldaurk Watercolour version will follow.

Sherlock touches John’s arm briefly and John’s attention goes back to him instantly. His hand grips Sherlock’s form, bringing him impossibly closer. John presses their heads together, his voice coming to a whisper. “Everything will be okay, darling. I promise. Just hang in there for me. Stay awake.” Darling was on instinct. Really, it’s the only thing that grounds John. Sherlock’s anguished eyes meet John again, though it seems like he’s struggling to do just that.

THAT'S ALLOWED?

NOTE TO SELF-SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!

[holmesianlove]

There are many new friends on the archive, and many are young and have only known social media, which is why I wanted to say something!

Ao3 does not have an algorithm! It isn't a social media site, it's an archive.

Posting fics on Tumblr isn't the same as posting fics on Ao3

Ao3 is like a giant virtual bookshelf, and everyone is able to add their own stories to the bookshelf, all stored with different tags and different fandoms. Works are automatically sorted by newest to oldest, but filters, looking at bookmarks, and using the search function can change that.

Certain works are not pushed to the top like social media posts. More kudos and reads don't push a single work to more viewers by some algorithm. Unless otherwise filtered, works will be at the top of the page based on how recent it was posted.

Smaller fandoms get less views, less kudos, less bookmarks, and larger fandoms get more simply because of the number of people inside the fandom.

Ao3 is a giant virtual bookshelf- there is no algorithm, and there is no man behind the shelf pushing certain books forward.

Happy reading, and if you'd like to have more people notice a fic, why not share it with them! Send a dm to a fandom friend and it might turn into one of their favorite fics!

Mystrade Monday Prompt #81

For March. 18, 2024

“Obviously I remembered. How could I forget?”

The game is to write a flash fic this weekend and post it here (or with a link to the fic on AO3) on Monday with the hashtag Mystrade Monday.

Flash fiction is a complete story that is less than 1,000 words. 360mg is complete fic of 360 words with the last two beginning with “M” and “G” in any order. Please spread the word.

Hot tip: if you tag @mystradepromptsandscenarios , we’ll reblog it.

Don’t forget to add your fic to the Mystrade Monday Collection on AO3.

[holmesianlove]

Got mine!!

About those High Bidder Emails

We have all of the high bidder emails ready to send, but we are in email jail. That is to say, we have hit gmail's daily limit. We should be able to send the rest after one more day. Meanwhile, please do continue to hold off on making donations until you receive the confirmation email. More information can be found in this post.

Frustrating as it is to not be able to send emails as fast as we want, what a wonderful problem to have; if we have to be stuck in email jail, we're glad it's only because we have so many enthusiastic participants. :)

Walk of Shame is complete!

by me, 72reasons on Ao3

Walk of Shame (30814 words) by 72reasons Chapters: 18/18 Fandom: Sherlock (TV) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, John Watson/OFC, John Watson/OFC/ OMC Characters: John Watson, Sherlock Holmes, Ella, Molly Hooper, Mike Stamford

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, meet ugly, Angst, Happy Ending, Bisexual John Watson, Gay Sherlock Holmes, POV Sherlock Holmes, POV John Watson, Sad John, Suicidal Thoughts, Casual Sex, Strangers to Lovers, You're my Favorite Mistake, Implied/Referenced Drug Use, graphic straight sex, Hand Jobs, Frottage, Blow Jobs, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex

Summary: John is just back from the war and wanders the city wondering what he’s going to do. One of his distractions is having casual sex with a beautiful, but annoying, woman. Sherlock usually refrains from sex, but in trying to stay sober he indulges in it now and again. Sherlock meets John on the street and sparks fly. Casual sex is one thing, but what about something more?

Based on a list of “meet ugly” prompts I saw on Tumblr many years ago - “We met each other on a Sunday morning, both doing our walk of shame.”

Thanks for reading!

Well done everyone!

Bidding is now closed!

The closing scripts are running, but remember that it will take some time to close all 1000+ auctions! Even if a bidding form is still open, bids with a timestamp after 8:00:05pm EST will not be considered valid.

More fun behind-the-scenes stuff is underway. We'll be sending high bid emails out within the next 24 hours, so please sit tight.

In the meantime, many of the stalls in the Fan Crafts Bazaar are still open! Be sure to check the details on each individual stall, though, because some of them did end when the main auction did.

[holmesianlove]

Two hours left!

A few reminders as we head into what is often the most heated bidding-war time:

Google is still being a weirdo in a variety of ways, so check those bid sheets on desktop or mobile browser + app both to be sure they’re loading all bids.

Not all forms will close right at 8pm - any bids that register with timestamps later than 8:00:05 EST will be considered invalid.

Once auction close, sit tight! If you’re a high bidder you’ll get email from us within a day or so, confirming that you are the winner and giving you the link to our new donation proof form. This is a different process than in previous years! Do not send us proof until you get this email.

Don’t forget to check out the golden needle tag to find those hidden treasures without bids - in particular, there are some really interesting offers of specialist expertise that are still looking for someone who needs that particular bit of knowledge

If you find yourself outbid on everything (or have some extra donation budget to spread around), be sure to take a look at the Fan Crafts Bazaar, which is not closing today. Individual crafters can close their stalls at any time (for example, if they run out of stock), but most will be open for at least another week.

[holmesianlove]

12 hours remaining!

We've reached the 12 hour mark remaining for bidding! Keep an eye on what you're winning - this is when bidders get competitive...

If you haven’t bid yet, there's still time to get a fic, beta, artist, podfic, or other personalised fanwork for good causes.

Check out our golden needle tag to find hidden gems that haven't been snapped up yet - or go crazy bidding up something you're in steep competition for. We believe in you!

Fandom Trumps Hate 2024: All BBC Sherlock Creators!

BROWSING PERIOD FOR FTH 2024 IS NOW OPEN!!!

In an effort to celebrate one of my favourite multi-fandom events, and to make everyone, new and veteran, feel encouraged about being in FTH, I decided I would do that thing I do and park myself on the FTH's "fandom:BBC Sherlock" tag for a few hours and list out ALL of our wonderful creatives who are participating in FTH 2024!

Please be gentle with me, as I manually spent a few hours ensuring all BBC Sherlock Creatives are on the post as of the time of scheduling! I am only human and I have most definitely erred!

And finally, many of these creators are MULTI-CANON, so not just BBC Sherlock! Check them ALL out for what they're offering!

**NOTE MARCH 2, 2PM EST: I should have everyone added to this post now! If you are missing or are tagged with the wrong ship or section, please let me know, I will fix as soon as possible!!**
