It's Time To Bid Sherlolly Secret Santa Adieu...Plus Some Other BBC Sherlock Stuff On The Horizon!
So, this is normally the time that I start doing sign-ups for a new round of Sherlolly Secret Santa, but as much as I hate to say it, I think this particular fandom event has run its course. We've had fewer and fewer participants each round, and coupled with a ton of real life issues for me this year (including getting second degree burns on my chest eleven months ago that are still causing huge sensory and pain issues and my mother having a heart attack in September), I don't have it in me to run the event this year or in the future. I'm still going to eventually gift all the outstanding mod gifts I have in my main blog inbox as soon as Tumblr lets me access it, but it's been a good run and I think it's time we bid Sherlolly Secret Santa adieu.
Now. On that note. I currently run @bbcsherlockmultishipficprompts a "prompt a day" blog for BBC Sherlock fic prompts across a variety of ships as well as gen prompts. I also have a few hundred strictly Sherlolly prompts I am never going to find the time or energy to answer, so I've set up @simply-sherlolly-prompts for a daily Sherlolly-centric fic prompt in hopes of generating more Sherlolly content in the fandom that way. I would love it if all of you who follow this blog would friend the new one!
I'm also going to put my energy into continuing to run the Winter rounds of @mollyappreciationweek (where you request five sentence prompts with a Molly-centric ship and have the month of December to answer them) and possibly run a broader general BBC Sherlock event in February around Valentine's Day in conjunction with BBC Sherlock Multiship Fic Prompts, where I offer individualized prompts starting mid-January with a posting period the week of Valentine's Day, where you can ask for any BBC Sherlock ship, not just Molly-centric ones, and limit it to two prompts for the event.
As for @sherlollysecretsanta I am going to archive this blog (appending -archive to the end of the username and stating we are no longer running the event on the profile, but otherwise leaving the blog and the AO3 collections intact) and leave it up for people to enjoy the treats and other things i reblogged here.
