April Activity Post

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Welcome to our first activity post!

For this activity we have two illustrations taken from canon stories:

What you have to do is come up with a new story that fits both illustrations—in either order.


The image on the left is by Richard Gutschmidt and the one on the right is by W. H. Hyde. Both images come from Pinacotheca Holmesiana. And thank you to okapi1895—this is a slight reworking of her idea of writing about a canon illustration.


Remember that the basic rule for holmes_minor is that your piece must always be 500 words or less. AUs, crossovers and fusions are all permitted, as long as the characters remain essentially recognisable as the original ACD versions.

And you needn’t take part in the activity, if you don’t wish to. Once you’re a member, you can post what and when you want—as long as you keep to the wordcount and the ACD Holmes ‘verse.


Please see the profile for the full posting guidelines!

What fun! It's kind of a puzzle! I'm on it!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with ^_^ And I must have a good think myself. I haven't got a clue what to write yet - and I'm the one who chose the pictures ^^"

Well, there we go. A plot bunny just popped into existence. We have until the end of the month to post? And must be read by a beta?

Oh, wonderful! ^^

You have a month to post - the last day being 14th May. And it's entirely up to you if you use a beta. I generally find with microfiction that it's fairly easy to pick up on any problems yourself.

All good things to know. Thanks :)
