Could we have a meta tag please?

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry! We have one, but apparently it's only visible to the mods because it hasn't been used yet. On it!

(Haven't forgotten about your other request! Just been insanely busy...)

[swissmarg]

Thanks, got it. And don't worry about the other. You're right, it would probably be too much work and not enough need for it.

Hello,

I was wondering whether you permitted posts promoting fanworks exchanges. holmestice in this case. I don't think I've seen any such posts here and I know recc'ing is the raison d'etre of this comm, so I won't be dismayed if you say no.


Best,

Chapbook

Sorry for the late reply!!

And sorry again, because the answer is indeed no. If we went beyond rec posts for fanworks it'd be hard to draw the line. So we've decided not to do that.

[chapbook.livejournal.com]

I certainly understand! :)

I was wondering if House recs are allowed here? I know some people disagree with including House among Holmes interpretations.

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but for it to be eligible to be recced here the source material needs to state that it is part of the Sherlock Holmes universe. House might be similar or inspired by it -I have no idea - but it's still the House fandom...

We don't seem to have a "pairing: sh/victor trevor" tag? can I request one? (if it's there and I didn't see it ignore this, but could it be added to my last post? http://221b-recs.livejournal.com/289979.html )

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

No, you're right, we didn't have one yet. I added it to your post!

[chapbook.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if you think "bamf sally" would be an appropriate tag?

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Would I ever :)!
Done!

[chapbook.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Just a note that my rec for "Stumbleleine" hasn't appeared on the spreadsheet yet. More recent recs of mine are on there, so I think it may have overlooked...

Heres the link: http://221b-recs.livejournal.com/302594.html

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the heads up! I seem to be locked out of the spreadsheet, but I'll let unovis know. So it should be updated soon.

[chapbook.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your assistance! :)

[chapbook.livejournal.com]

You're going to say, "What's she want NOW?!"

In this case, a request for a "BAMF Sherlock" tag. :)

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Seriously woman, you're working me to the bone here.

But I like you, so I added it ;).

Thank you again! :)

Can we please have a tag for Janine? According to the Baker Street Wiki, her name is Janine Hawkins, so I guess character: janine hawkins. Thank you!

Edit: I'm not sure that last name has actually been mentioned in the episodes, so maybe it should be just character: janine.

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Ok, LJ is driving me nuts. I tried to make one for "janine (mary's maid of honour)", for easier understanding. But LJ just keeps deleting the second of the parentheses. We did it with Irene's maid and it worked fine so I've no idea what the hang up is.
WHY YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO PEOPLE, LJ?

Maybe it's just a temporary bug. I'll... come back to it.

[swissmarg]

It could be that it's too long with the last parenthesis. A tag is only allowed to be 40 characters long. Try spelling honor the American way. :)

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Aaaaah. Yeah, that was the problem. Thanks! I'm normally all for American spelling ^^, but I omitted it by taking out one of the spaces.

[swissmarg]

I don't know if you want to maybe add a tag for Charles Augustus Magnussen too?

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Added!
