Seeking new Management

Hey, everyone. I am not really able to give this community the time that I should as a mod for reasons that I won't go into. My co-mod is only there to help me out when I'm not online, but she's also been unable to devote any time to it these days. So here's the thing, I'm looking for someone to take over as owner and mod of [livejournal.com profile] 221b_baker_str. I would prefer to give it to someone who is involved in Sherlock or Sherlock Holmes fandom rather than someone who isn't really, and I would like the purpose of the community to remain the same, but otherwise it's pretty much a first come, first served. If you don't get it, please don't be upset with me about it. Perhaps you can discuss it with whoever does and work something out.

Comment below if you're interested and we'll go from there.

Note: I don't have constant internet access and I'm not online--I use the connection at my library right now--so if it takes me a couple of days to get back to you about it, I'm not being rude and please don't panic.

Edit: The crown has been passed, without any fuss, to [livejournal.com profile] scandalbaby. It's been fun, guys. I think the community's in good hands. Good luck.

Fic Fest (?)

Really just gauging the level of interest here. Would you guys be interested in doing a fic fest?

I'm thinking something sort of casual. People give prompts, people claim prompts, there's a minimum word count and a certain amount of time to do it in and you post by that date.

If there's no interest in doing it though, then I don't want to go to the trouble of setting it up.

Show of hands. Would you be interested in participating in something like this?

Comment fic?

Hey, so I've seen a lot of this happening on other communities and it looks like fun. The mod does a post, usually on the weekend, and everyone leaves prompts or writes for them. Sort of like what [livejournal.com profile] comment_fic does, but specifically for the fandom the community focuses on. You may have seen them, too.

My question is, would people be interested in having something like that over here at [livejournal.com profile] 221b_baker_str? If I started this, would people participate?

Edit: Something's wrong with the poll. Sorry. Just comment I guess.

We won something!!!

Wow, I had no idea this had happened because I was away for the holidays without internet. If everyone is already aware of this, be patient, we'll return cabin pressure in a moment but OMG [livejournal.com profile] 221b_baker_str won a thing! We were nominated for the Mummy Awards (I have no idea what that is but yay!) over at The Baker Street Supper Club for Most Promising New Community 2010 and we WON!

Isn't that awesome? I think that's awesome.

You can go here to see all of the winners, including the one for this community which is on top. I think this is even more cool because I never knew about it and so never posted about it urging people to go vote for it or anything and still. STILL. Pretty cool, yep :D
