The Holocene Mass Exinction Event

should i bother with new sherlock? rachel talalay directed so maybe it will be pretty to glance at as i scroll on twitter?

i also have latest elementary to catch up on but i expect that to be any good at all, so.

my Totally Not At All Batshit elementary theory is: irene adler is alive and is also moriarty; she faked her own death to get away from holmes' terrible wardrobe.

btw, there is a wee kitten on me who REFUSES to let me sit and type in a peaceful or ergonomic manner. her name is olive. ^___^

ATTN: YOU ALL NEED TO READ THE BEST SHERLOCK HOLMES FIC OF ALL TIME:

Six Ways "The Great Game" Won't End

IT IS BEAUTIFUL LIKE A STATUE OF BENEFICENT CUMBERBUND CARVED OUT OF PURE CRYSTAL

anyone interested in a german-language holmes/watson zine called Gentlemen, published in 2003 by the TOS Sisters (BR, Lady Charena, Marion)? it's 167 pages, spiral-bound, black and white, with illustrations. i don't remember how much it was originally sold for as i was given a copy in exchange for providing a piece of artwork, but i'd be happy to send it to a new home for the price of postage.

classic slash, guys! the quality of which i am unable to comment on as i can't read german!

i have never done one of these, but today i decided to, possibly because i am insane or a masochist. the first lines meme, nicked from a good portion of the flist: take the first line of your last 20 stories and see what this says about your writing. i bent the rules slightly and post a bit more than one sentence in a couple of cases. one thing i definitely know it says is that i really need to finish more fic, since about 75% of the lines are from unfinished fics. sigh. i'll bold the ones that are actually done and posted anywhere at all.

( proof that i do actually *try* to write fanfiction under here )

oh man. well, i think this tells us that 01: i need better first sentences and 02: i should probably finish some of these things and get them off my harddrive.

sherlock hound!



oh, if only this didn't already exist. i would love to make it.

this show really deserves a fandom all of its own. like the granada holmes series has, except without all of the wangst. ronald howard and h. marion crawford are the anti-wangst.




they don't even have a proper fansite! ;_______;

Disclaimer: Mr. Holmes is in the public domain, and I give thanks to both Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and to Henry David Thoreau for being such an inspiration to so many people, not least of all myself.
Notes: The text of Mr. Thoreau's journal entry used herein is not, unfortunately, from the fourteen volume 1906 edition published by Houghton Mifflin, but from the more recent Princeton edition. There are marked differences in punctuation in the two texts, but the words themselves are usually the same. Nevertheless, when and if I can locate a usable copy of the 1906 edition I shall be sure to emend the text of this story accordingly.

Especially as this story is unbetaed, feedback and criticism shall be much appreciated and cherished.

Title: Sub Rosa
Author: Professor Pangaea
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes
Disclaimer: Mr. Holmes and sundry other characters are now in the public domain, but of course I give ultimate credit and thanks for their existence to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Summary: "One of the most attractive things about the flowers is their beautiful reserve. The truly beautiful and noble puts its lover, as it were, at an infinite distance, while it attends him more strongly than ever." -- Henry David Thoreau

Just read Fic of Goodness by lizbee; it's called Seasons and it is Russell fic and it is GOOD. Maturity, thoughtfulness, slightly manipulative Holmes, humour! It's all good. I hereby rec it for it is a beautiful little thing.

Then, I realised that I missed House tonight. Again. Dammit, brain.

Courtesy of The Birlstone Railway Smash (alias Brad Keefauver) is another... amazing thing to witness, namely, Action Sherlock Brain Theatre.



In which the Smash shows off his incredible number of action figures as well as his ridiculous sense of humour. MARVEL! as outraged Canadian farmers randomly enter plotlines! WONDER! at the revelation that Grimpen Mire is the key to healthy, managable hair! BE DISTURBED! as you realise that this guy must have made large amounts of ridiculous and otherwise useless props, like tiny editions of A Study in Scarlet! Although the tiny edition of Clue especially puzzles me (also: In Britain it is Cluedo! Cross-continental time travel?).


Also, trying to get telegram fic Holmes to Asia. Which is not really very hard, actually, the tricky bit is to make him leave telegrammatic evidence. Damn his silent moody ways.
