Sherlock: News, LJ comm/meme and a wee ficlet.

[caffienekitty]

Sherlock has been renewed! \o/ I don't know any details because I have to get to work ten minutes ago and I've joined the currently spamtastic sherlockbbc comm (my f-list got fifty billion miles long overnight when the UK was awake) so I haven't seen interview transcripts, but Moffat's confirmed it in a TV interview, so YAAY! \o/

LJ Comm, see above, posting rate right now is astounding. There's also a walloping huge comment fic thing at sherlockbbc_fic. Not restricted, so mind your step if you are bothered by things. They've got a del.icio.us whatever thing, (link's in the compile post there) with fills categorized so you don't need to wade through the 3000-odd comments of fic and fills to find reading material.

I've filled one, very quick conversation, reposting here now:

(Prompt involved clothes-sharing. )

Titled: Inappropriate Attire (GEN and PG)


"What the blazes? Why are you wearing my cardigan? Backwards?"

"I was cold."

"It doesn't even fit you! And you usually wear your ruddy great coat! And did I mention backwards?"

"I needed my wrists free. The sleeves were trailing in the chemicals and throwing off my results."

"...You're using my cardigan as a lab smock?!"

"Yes. The pockets are quite handy. I've got two sample bags in each. Mud, saliva, rat intestines and, ooo. That peculiarly pungent fecal matter from the doorman's shoe."

"You put- I-"

"Oh, I'll give it back after the reaction's done, John. Don't fret. Mrs. Hudson can mend the burnt spots-"

"I'm not your seamstress, love."

"Amazing hearing, that woman."

"Holmes- You-"

"Yes, Watson?"

"Oh, just, never mind!"

"Fine then. Could you pass me the- Where are you going?"

"Upstairs!"

"Doing what?"

"BLOGGING!"

(doors slam, et cetera)
(And that's it)



*glee* I need icons!

I had to unfollow the sherlock comm, seriously. Couldn't cope with the amount of posts! Must be getting old.

I'm kind of enjoying the mad rush right now, although it's making getting work done ridiculous, even though I'm just skimming a lot because most of the fic isn't my preference. I suspect traffic will either die down as things settle in, or some kind soul will set up a newsletter and collect links. It's good this is happening during the North American TV summer break though, or the combined traffic would be insane.

I love your fic.

Thanks! There's another over there I'll have to repost later. And I doubt those will be the last. :-)

Bless the Beeb for doing all their online marketing websites and keeping them in character!

I know I'm going to be checking back for any added comments during the hiatus. Just in case they do something tricksy.

I particularly love Watson and Holmes's little comments on each other's blogs. Bond night!

There's at least one gen/canon-possible fic I've seen out there for it on that fic meme too. Ooo. And there's a really good missing scene for 1.03 too. Arg. I'm at work so I haven't been saving links. *headdesk*

I love how Watson's blog is all cliff-hanger-y too! That's so cool. The commentors sound so worried!

And I need links for recommended fic. If you find either of those again, please do let me have them!

Really, the fandom needs a newsletter and a categorized recs comm. There's a massive outpouring of creativity and information right now and no data triage or rudimentary indexing. I don't know anyone with the time and know how to do it though.

Gen missing scene for close to the end of 1.03 here.
