Wow, that is nice to see. It was also nice, though vaguely insane, to come back here an hour and a half after I posted and find nine comments already, when I hadn't even posted it to any communities yet. Which I shall be doing presently (I was recording The Further Adventures on BBC7, and I like to give a fic post a little time before I post it into any communities, so that I can more easily find errors and fix them before showing it to the wider world).
That was a long way of saying, Yes, I was going to finally post something in gaslight_fic.
Actually, as I probably used images owned by someone, somewhere for this, I doubt I can get this professionally published. Although, if I do, I would like to put it into an issue of my comic book. That should be under the radar enough to avoid the litigation machine, and then it will be in an art context and I can say -- "I was just appropriating imagery that has permeated the public consciousness, much the way the fictional character Sherlock Holmes has permeated the public consciousness and become something different, more alive, an icon and a symbol..." and then they will all fall asleep and I will escape out of the window.
Er, I must point out that I do not have twenty-something chapters of this, so a comparison to Shoebox is probably not deserved. But it is certainly warmly appreciated, especially coming from such a distinguished source. Thanks so much!
