221B-Consolation Fest Drabbles
I do so SO wish I could go to 221B Con. I wish it so, so badly. After the SHIT that went down in 2015 where so many friends of mine were attacked and abused, I swore I'd never go, because the con-comm really did not address everyone's anger and concerns fairly...but it does seem to be a much kinder place now? I really do just want to be able to hang out with as many friends as possible from Sherlock fandom. 221B-Con is still the best place to do this -- and now, it appears, the ONLY place to do this.
I got an AMAZING taste of writing-workshopping and panelling at Sherlock Seattle in 2016, but that is no longer running. 221B Con seems to be the only game in town now. Unfortunately, because of the seasonal nature of my job (managing a subscription sales campaign for an arts company that runs from April to November), the first three weeks of April are pretty much the ONLY time out of my whole year that I literally cannot take a weekend off. That's when I'm re-setting up, interviewing and hiring and training, in meetings all the time. A con in March? I could go. A con in May? I could go. A con in any other month besides April? I could go. April? no go.
BUT!!! I cry, I whine online, and then I try to rally other fans in the same state as me. I set up 221b Consolation on Tumblr. A prompt fest for people who can't go to the con, to offer up works and take prompts. There's a matching collection on AO3.
SO MANY GREAT WORKS IN SO LITTLE TIME.
And I wrote 7 221B drabbles (221 words each, last word begins with B), and here they all are together:
