October Activity Post

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

The activity this month involves Hallowe'en costumes. Taking a leaf out of the book of their American cousins, the characters of the ACD world have decided to dress in fancy dress. And perhaps you would like to choose the costume for them—describing it in as much detail as you like. For example, Mrs. Hudson might like to be a Gibson girl—with Bessie doing her hair, and Mr. Holmes lending her the corset.

Leave your suggestions in the comments!


As always, you needn’t take part in this 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 500 words or less wordcount and the ACD Holmes ‘verse. AUs, crossovers and fusions are all permitted, as long as the characters remain essentially recognisable as the original ACD versions.

Please see the profile for the full posting guidelines!

Mrs Hudson, Bessie and Esme were wearing long black dresses and pointed hats. They were all ready to join the rest of the 'coven' (Regent's Park Landladies Gin and Pumpkin Social) and reached into the broom cupboard to retrieve their brooms. They were not amused to find Watson and Lestrade claiming to be a very large spider which was living in the cupboard.

Do have to admire Watson and Lestrade's quick thinking though... ^^"

Indeed. Although Mrs Hudson treated this 'spider' the way she did all large spiders which were in places they shouldn't be; hit it firmly with her broom and sent it scuttling.

But there was a tangle of 8 limbs, though!

Sadly, despite their protestations, Mrs Hudson was unconvinced, and encouraged this 'spider' out at the end of her broom.
