Fic rec

It’s fanfiction writers appreciation day, and I want to recommend this fic:

Sanguis Foederis Crassior  

by shnuffeluv. It’s a WIP, I’m subscribed to it and I’m always happy when it updates. The story is canon compliant, basically a retelling of ASiP (so far), with missing scenes and insight into the characters’ thoughts and feelings. Sherlock is aromantic in this fic (and asexual, I guess, though that’s not listed in the tags), and it shows a developing friendship/qpr between him and John. It’s fluffy and touching and I love it.

Give me the strength to believe that impossible things are just higly improbable events waiting for someone enough mad to make them happen.

I've written!! Finally, I've done it! I didn't write a word in a month, now I have eventually found the courage to try again. Oh, god, I'm so happy.

Since it’s the aro day, shall we talk about characters we headcanon as aro too? Please!

Late for the ace awareness day, but…better late than never I guess.

An Aromantic Asexual Sherlock Network a network for people who (i) sees the beauty in Sherlock’s asexuality and aromanticism (ii) believes in the existence of Platonic Love (iii) respects all asexuals and aromantics and the different ways people can feel love.

Do I have to be asexual / aromantic to join? No, you just have to be able to respect asexuals, aromantics and the idea that “love” can be felt or expressed in a platonic way :)

How do I join?

How do I know if I’ve been accepted?

I will mass announce the new members via text post and i’ll tag them accordingly. This text post will contain instructions on what steps they have to do next.

If within a week you still have not accepted the group invite, I will take it that you did not see the text post. In this case, I will personally message you via askbox to inform that you have been selected

I will take about a week from today until I announce 

Is this a Johnlock only Network?

no, johnlock as well as other ships like sherlolly, sherstrade, sheriarty, viclock, and any other ships which contains Sherlock is equally welcomed

sadly that means ships like mormor or mollstrade is not part of this network’s focus. Remember, this network focuses on the appreciation of Sherlock’s asexuality and aromanticism. If there’s no Sherlock in the ship, then it doesn’t really belong in the network. It’s fine if you ship these as well of course!! (But the network won’t be focusing on non-sherlock ships, that’s all i’m trying to say :))

What do I do once I join?

track the tag #AceAroSherlock

send to my submit box a 200px by 200px icon, name and description for the network page. When you send it to my submit box, put the title as “For AceAro Sherlock Network” so I won’t confuse it as application for my other network

That is all. And keep in mind, I’m not expecting that many applicants, we’ll probably be a small group, but we’ll be a very awesome and close-knit group :)
