victorian221bVictorian Holmes Prompt Box is up and running!
This is an all-year-round prompt challenge for all Holmes universes set in the late 19th - early 20th century (ACD Canon, Granada, A Study In Emerald, etc.), from Holmes before Watson and their early years to WWI and retirement. You can post prompts or pick some to fill. Deadlines are optional: you can set them for your prompts or leave them open-ended. This is a no pressure challenge, so you can fill prompts at your own pace (if the deadline is not specified by the prompt poster). There is a prompt filling month twice a year, though, when everyone is encouraged to fill the prompts they’ve picked over the previous months (see announcements later). Any ratings, from Gen to Explicit. No word count restrictions. Artists and vidders are very welcome to join!
To post a prompt: log in to AO3 and hit the "sign up" button. To post prompts anonymously tick the "semi-anonymous" box when entering your prompt.
To view all prompts: go to the collection menu and choose "prompts".
I added three prompts so far. One for Anthony Horowitz's Moriarty plus one for Neil Gaiman's A Study in Emerald (like, I have some questions after reading both. I don't think I'm going to write in those 'verses, but if somebody did, I'd be happy!) and one ACD (I'd love to write a story about it but I have zero headcanons). Absolutely anyone can add prompts! Even if you don't intend to fill any :) Who knows, maybe your prompt will inspire someone!

I didn’t think much about promoting this comm and was quite comfortable with its small circle, but spreading the word about it could in turn signal boost the prompt box.
