The Master List has been posted and Sherlocktoberfest 2010 is now officially over.


A big thanks to everyone who participated, especially since October is a busy time for a lot of people! I'm looking forward to reading through the Master List in one sitting, with a cup of french vanilla coffee at hand~ and the late entries as they trickle in. And thanks to my trusty co-mod oceanvines, who came up with many of the awesome contest prompts and helped out with the workload.

Feel free to leave feedback and suggestions for next year's festival! This was both my and oceanvines's first time doing anything like this and this fest was mostly a "We'll see how this goes" experience for us, but we now have a better idea on how to tackle things next time.


IMPORTANT!: LATE ENTRIES
- Do not post late entries directly to the comm. Those of you who were not able to complete your entries by the deadline can still post them via the Late Entries post when you are finished. Please do so, as the community would love to read them and it would make it easier to find them!
- The Master List and Hall of Fame will not be updated with late entries, unless you have made (or will make) arrangements with one of the mods (e.g. the people that had emergencies and contacted us about not being able to make the deadline).


Below are general participation banners—feel free to snag any that apply to you!

See you same time next year! ♥

Title: Wolfskin
Author: rubychan05
Setting: Sherlock
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock/John, Mycroft, Moriarty, Murray
Genre/Warnings: Pre-slash, mentions of throat rippage
Summary: John is a wolf in human clothing. Literally.
Notes: Because real life made me a failure, this is all I could scrape together for the god knows how many prompts I claimed. I'm so sorry! I'll try and post the others at a later date, so please keep an eye on my journal.

When John goes to Afghanistan, some part of him acknowledges that he will never be the same again.

Title: Stripes
Artist: Cydienne
Setting: Sherlock
Rating: none
Characters/Pairings: Jon/Sherlock
Genre/Warnings: pre-slash
Summary: It was supposed to be part of the series, but I never managed to finish the other 2. So now you have 1/3 of modern Baskervile Hound story... no dressing up as Tardis for now.
Notes: :)

Title: Frozen
Author: sprl1199 
Setting: BBC Sherlock
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Pre-slash of the John/Sherlock variety. Bits of Sally and Lestrade.
Genre/Warnings: Rated for references to violence, vague references to adult content, and ghosts.
Summary: Requested to help on a case involving a young, murdered maid in a wealthy household, Sherlock finds himself investigating in the midst of secrets, ghosts, an inconvenient illness, and John.
Notes: Written for the Primary Challenge. This story is a modern redux of "The Adventure of the Reigate Squire" with a re-imagining of the ghost from the XXXHolic anime episodes "Temptation" and "Choice" mixed in. AND, to show how very good I am at plagiarism, there's also a shout-out to Poe.

I am four days late in posting, but that's okay, because I'm also slightly over the word limit (*cough* almost 14k). When I break the rules, I go for broke.

Thanks as always to finangler for beta! Any mistakes and American-isms that remain are entirely my own.
