BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 » Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2015

I've written my first Sherlock story, but I don't know if it would qualify for this exchange.

Schmiezi · October 1, 2015 5:45 pm

If you have fun writing then please join us. :-)

Schmiezi · October 4, 2015 6:41 am

Yay! I have received the last questionaires and did some matching already.

Please understand that it will take some time to send you your prompts. At the moment, my me-time is limited to about 30 minutes a day at best and I already used today's me-time for matching. :-p

I promise to use every available second so you will all have your prompts asap.

Thank you Schmiezi. I can't wait to see what I will get, but I'll be patient.

It's wonderful that we can already start this week. I was a bit worried because November will be very busy for me so this is really great.

Thank you, Schmiezi !

I really hope you'll get some more me-time soon! It is important for one's peace of mind!
Do keep some time to yourself to relax, though! Don't use up everything on us. As far as I'm concerned, I work so much better under pressure xD

Schmiezi · October 4, 2015 12:41 pm

Thank you dear. Actually, working on the Exchange is so much fun that I consider it as me time, so don't worry.

All prompts are sent now. If you have any questions about it please send them to me via pm. I will copy, paste and send them to your partner. That way we can keep the Secret Santa secret. ;-)

Thanks for the brilliant work, Schmiezi.

I´ve just got mine prompt and it looks very interesting. Not exactly what I was expecting but that´s why it´s a challenge...

mrshouse · October 4, 2015 2:29 pm

Thank you, Schmiezi.

Yitzock · October 4, 2015 3:05 pm

Mine is going to be a challenge as well, but I am up for it. Since all the prompts have been sent out, what is the deadline? That is, if you've set one at this point.

Dorothy83 · October 4, 2015 7:14 pm

Thank you I'm already thinking about what to write - interesting prompts!

silverblaze · October 4, 2015 7:22 pm

Aha, the first Christmas gift is in. Thank you Santa Schmiezi. :D

This prompt is great. Well matched. This is going to be a lot of fun.

Deadline is 1 December, if you read back you'll find it.

Whisky · October 4, 2015 8:41 pm

Ohhh now it's for real! I'm excited and scared the same time!!!
God, I hope I can do this... yes of course I can do this... *biting nails* ...

Schmiezi · October 4, 2015 8:42 pm

I am glad to hear that most of you are happy with their prompt - or are looking forward to facing the challenge.

I should mention that for me, I also picked a prompt that is a bit scary and some kind of challenge. That's only fair, I think. :-)

As for the dead line, now that I think about it, 30th November should be the last day to send me your (converted) fics (attached to a mail. Please pm me for my mail adress.) That way I can start posting them 1st December.

SusiGo · October 4, 2015 8:49 pm

So excited!

Kerkerian · October 5, 2015 5:26 am

Yay, I love my prompt! It's also a liiiiittle bit intimidating, but that's half the fun... thank you again, Schmiezi, and happy brainstorming/writing to all!

RavenMorganLeigh · October 5, 2015 5:34 am

Very happy with my prompt, got some ideas, already!

gently69 · October 5, 2015 7:21 am

Hope, I didn't talk big and can manage my prompt. Hey, I asked for it, so...
Have fun everyone!

Lilythiell · October 5, 2015 7:34 am

So happy with my prompt, some of it will be a challenge -and I honestly couldn't be happier

Have fun everyone!

stoertebeker · October 5, 2015 6:06 pm

I am satisfied with my prompt as well, nothing which I normaly would write about though, but I have several ideas already (and even a possible title).

Question: Are there any more volunteers for beta-reading? I will need someone who can check grammar, spelling and sentence structure of my story. Thank you very much in advance for everybody who can help
