So when I submitted the story as a treat, I made it clear I was hoping for sequels and follow-ups, and indeed a couple of further stories turned up in the subsequent round.

But since then, it's been quiet on the Bartholomew Street Animal Shelter front, and so I still want more about these characters. As a micro-fandom, the needed canon is quickly reviewed, and I have high hopes of being showered with more adventures this coming Yule.


From the promo post. I want someone to write me 1K+ long sequels to my 700 words long fic because I can't be bothered! Ok lol.

I love “I made it clear I was hoping for sequels and follow-ups”. Yes, that’s how fandom works. I create a fandom and them try to subtly coerce people into creating fan works for it.

It reminds me of Aja and their shenanigans verse - very look at my fanwork, full of quirkiness and banter and all the things fandom says it wants. But trying to force a weird thing into a viable fandom never works, sometimes things like snake fighting thesis take off, but it's not something you can get fandom to do on demand

This is bringing back a very old memory of vaguely something like this that she created. The details are elusive but yes, that does ring a bell.

Oh my God, it is Shenanigans all over again, except I think even Aja didn't try to shoehorn that into Yuletide.

I have zero issue with someone wanting to promo a thing they made, but the framing is offputting. If SH were Yuletide-eligible (lol) then the way to go about this would be to frame kitten!Holmes as a prompt in your letter - but of course, that would make it optional, wouldn't it. I'm guessing optional isn't good enough for them.
