A denial and an appeal and a repeated denial!

[excerpted]
mods: After reading the story, we feel that it doesn't stand alone; it relies heavily on the reader knowing the Sherlock Holmes canon, which is not Yuletide eligible.

nominator: I hope I can persuade you to change your minds and approve the nomination - or failing that, at least to more clearly articulate how this decision aligns with broader Yuletide policies.

mods: We appreciate this is disappointing, but are firm on this one. We hope that this discussion has served your goal in one small aspect - bringing the concept to the attention of a wider audience.

LOL keeping it real, mods. It certainly has a much broader reach than it did two weeks ago!

SA also, I love that the mods clearly articulated why it’s not Yuletide eligibility. It requires Sherlock Holmes knowledge which is way too big for Yuletide. The would be requester then asks the mods to explain why it’s not Yuletide eligible. Amazing.
