October Activity Post

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!

Lestrade has a fur suit, ears, muzzle, and tail, but no one can tell if he's supposed to be a rat, a ferret or a bulldog....

And he'd tried so hard with his costume too!

It's a shame!

Billy is resplendent in one of Holmes' old suitcoats and his third-best top hat, recreating the detective's mannerisms so accurately that Watson has a choking fit and has to leave the room.

That would certainly happen :D

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (and the funniest)!

Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Turner steal the two black silk masks lying around after The Illustrious Client and with their capes and swords defend all the lowly landladies against their tyrannical tenants. Ahead of their time (by about 20 years), they call themselves Sly Foxes (or, you know, Zorros)

Watson shaves his moustache. That's it. No one knows who he is.

The gifts from the tyrannical tenants are sufficient to keep them in gin for a month.

Yes, re-distribution of wealth--and spirits.

Blame the illustrator.

No! So sad!

Or a squirrel? A for effort, though.

Ah, yes! No embarrassment. Part of your charm, as long as your name isn't Mary Sutherland.

Definitely squirrely! And yes, applause for effort!
