#sherlock network

☜  Welcome to the Victorianlock Network  ☞

Wanna join? 

Nov 11, 2015: MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE  BACK ONLINE!! With Christmas coming up, and a whole bunch of stuff I want to get going for that, it’s high time we inject some new blood (ew?) into the network!

Are you an avid writer or reader of Johnlock fanfiction looking for a community of like-minded people? Do you need a place to vent your writing frustration, find new fic recs, scream about a fic’s latest chapter update, torture friends with angst-ridden headcanons, find a beta-reader, or simply simmer away in Johnlock hell? Then this might be the network for you!

That sounds like I’m selling some miraculous laundry detergent on an infomercial at 4am, so let’s just skip the sales pitch, shall we?

What we’re looking for:

active, friendly bloggers with a passion for reading and/or writing Johnlock

(for writers) any and all experience-levels and genres are welcome, whether you write Johnlock headcanons, poetry, or novel-length AUs.

(for artists) same thing, you’re all welcome!

What you have to do:

have your ask open

reblog this post

send me a message/ask explaining why you want to join the network, and what you feel you would contribute the most (this was where it told you to fill out a survey before, but I think that’s too impersonal)

if accepted, you will need to follow all other members of the group

once accepted, you will also need to display a link to the network page somewhere on the front page of your blog 

once you’re a member, track the tag #johnlockfanfictionnet

What you DO NOT have to do:

have an all-Sherlock blog; multi-fandom is more than okay

have a Sherlock-related url

have a fancy theme

be fandom royalty

If you are accepted, I will contact you to let you know, as well as to get your email address (only to add you as a member; no one else will ever see it, and I won’t store it anywhere), and the details you want in your bio on the network page . You can choose what personal details you want to include, if any, but everyone will need the url to the picture they want to use (take care to credit/like/reblog the artist, if applicable). If you want to include a link to your fanworks, as I’ve done in mine, simply let me know, and I’ll add it in for you. You can even pick the color, if you like!

**to everyone already on the network page, you can jump straight to the following/page-adding/email-and-bio-sending**

welcome to the hiatus network entry post! this is a network i've intended to start for a long, long time now. what better time to set it up than when i have three midterms in the next three days?

to enter

follow mishi

reblog this post (likes are for bookmarking only)

be a part of the sherlock fandom

optionally fill out this quick survey

be willing to put a link to the network somewhere on your blog.

what i'm looking for

friendly, respectful bloggers

active sherlock blogs (or multi-fandom blogs with a good amount of sherlock content)

good tagging systems

quality blogs

did i mention the importance of a friendly, respectful blogger?

perks

meet some amazing people and hopefully make some awesome new friends

easily find other great blogs

get promos and signal boosts whenever you need them

have a place to wallow in hiatus insanity misery, discuss anything sherlock related, and support each other. 

also have a place to talk about life in general; get advice, talk about your day, rant, squeal, and do anything really. it'll be an awesome little community.

other information

following everyone in the network is not a requirement. after acceptance you can even unfollow me if you want. this is a network for all sherlockians, which means (even more than themed networks with more members) there will be many different views. as long as everyone is respectful about these views within the network everything will be great, but your dash is your place to style how you wish and i won't impose a 'must follow others!' rule. with that being said you're certainly encouraged to follow the network members; it might make it a bit easier to get to know them and make new friends.

the network, as it's currently planned, will probably be capped at about 20 members so that it doesn't get too overwhelming, but don't quote me on that. likely only 3-5 will be admitted at a time. any additions beyond 20 will depend on the overall activity of the network/the consensus of its members. 

first members will be chosen march 1st, but this post is always open to reblogs. even if we're not looking for new members at the time we may be in the future.

sherladies net: a network for anyone who loves the ladies of sherlock, and who wants to join others in a celebration of the lovely ladies who rule our lives.

rules:

mbf me

reblog this post

fill out this super quick survey

bonus points if you send me headcanons about the sherladies

track 'sherladies net' for updates

you don't have to love every sherlady, but absolutely no character bashing will be tolerated whatsoever

what happens next:

i will pick a handful of members on the 25th november, and then i will keep adding new members every two weeks, depending on how many reblogs this gets

if you're accepted, you will be added to a sideblog where we can all chit chat about our wonderful women (and other things, if you'd like)

the sherladies net tag can also be used to post things you think the other members might want to see/reblog e.g. photosets, meta, headcanons, and even selfies!

i will also follow back any members that i'm not already following, and you will most likely receive follow backs from the other members too
