Rating: PG-13
Word count: 1,117

Summary: “There you are,” Sherlock said, lifting his gaze to John at the same time as he pulled the belt out of its loops, dropping it to the floor unceremoniously. “Is this clear enough?”

Author notes: Written as part of the broadstairsbacc writing challenge where we all wrote a fic to a randomly picked fandom, prompt (mine was ‘drunken sex’ – I failed at the sex part!) and a Loveheart phrase which needed to be included. My Loveheart said ‘Ever yours’. I have embellished the original version a little bit I must admit, in the process of tidying it for posting!

Right! We are a bit late (ish) with this but RL has been hectic. However, now is the time to put your hand up if you are reasonably certain that you can make Broadstairs Bacchanalia this year. Based on the poll, the weekend we're going with is 11-13 of September. Location: Sunny Broadstairs as before.

We had plans to rent a biggish house for the occasion (moth2fic, will need the details off you) if there are enough participants to merit that, and thus take care of accommodation (for most) and con central in one swell swoop. However, if only a small handful can make it, that's not really worth it and instead people can make their own accommodation arrangements and we can have con fun at mine again.

Thusly, another poll.

[Poll #2013280]

Again, please pimp far and wide to any friends who might want to join us!

Dearest Broadstairs Bacchi!

The mini-con is returning, as promised! But before we can start thinking about practical arrangements (moth2fic, I think you had the whole house in mind...?) we need to settle on a date. Currently, we are still thinking September though a bit earlier than last year. So, please tick which of the below weekends you could do, and tick both if you don't mind. You can suggest other dates but the September ones were chosen to accommodate our timetables and we suspect everyone has other plans for August (plus Broadstairs will be heaving so accommodation prices would likely be higher etc).

[Poll #2000656]

And remember, please pimp the comm and the poll to your flisters in case other people would be interested!
