holmes_minorThis month’s activity is strictly-speaking a non-writing one. We’ve had a prompt involving clothing and so we’re going to continue that theme here.
We’d like you to search for images of an outfit or an item of clothing, or hairstyles or moustaches and beards. Images of items that you think would suit various canon characters (or indeed various regular original characters) in different situations and at various times of their life.
When you’ve found something that interests you, give us the link and a short comment about who it’s for and why you think it’s appropriate. And then everyone will be free to write something based on the image if they are so inspired.
A couple of examples to get the ball rolling:
Holmes’ favourite outfit as a toddler. It’s a lovely bright colour to reflect his dynamic personality, and allows great ease of movement for an active, inquisitive child. It’s really quite splendid and Holmes remains puzzled as to why people are so taken aback whenever he wears anything similar in his adult life.
Mrs. Hudson’s cape. A cape is of course far more practical than a coat—so much easier to get on when you’re hurriedly having to evacuate 221 Baker Street yet again. It truly is just perfect for those chilly nights standing on the pavement weeping as the fire brigade play their hoses over the upper windows.
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.
