I am hosting a writing competition: Win an original Sherlock portrait!
I came to this forum to look for more people who might be interested in winning a Sherlock painting. The competition can be found here: (Here is an example of my painting )
What do you think? Interested? Or, know anyone who might be?

Your English seems fine from the 12 words I've seen! Collaboration is fine too, so you could feel free to write whatever you like then have people check it over for spelling and stuff.

Oh. I thought I misunderstood the meaning of your sentence because I was eating at the same time, but actually I really don't get it, even after dinner. 
What are you referring to by "What are you taking?".

Ah, no wonder you're busy! My sister's partner is studying law, he never seems to have a moment free.

Yeah it's really exhausting. And I'm only in my third year. But fortunately I'm gonna be graduated in two months. I think about doing a one year break after my graduation to become a teacher assistant

Well, this is really tempting after having seen your paintings.

Re: I am hosting a writing competition: Win an original Sherlock portrait!
It does sound like fun. I have a question, though. When you say the fic must be "original", does that mean you want to see something that is not fan fiction (i.e. original characters, original setting), or are we talking about Sherlock fan fiction, just with an original storyline that wasn't written for any prompt or other challenge?

Re: I am hosting a writing competition: Win an original Sherlock portrait!
By original I mean not plagarised from anywhere, and preferably written for this this competition (though I think I'm fine to give people some leeway with that if they've written something very recently that they want to use). It can be fan fiction, poetry, essay, puzzle, whatever as long as it's written. Sherlock fan fiction is just fine, two entries so far are something from the POV of Sherlock's mother set at the end of Reichenbach Fall, and a WhoLock crossover! I hope you'll all give it a shot!

Sounds great, let me see if I can whip something up. No promises, though.

Sorry for missing your question here, mozartlocked! I know you got the answer over in reddit but I'll answer it here too for anyone else who wants to know, one entry per person so everyone has the same chance. Also if anyone has any questions you can contact 'prosopagnosiape' (that's me) on reddit.
