Sherlock Fanfiction Blogs
I’ve blogged a lot about BBC Sherlock, writing, literature, and fanfiction; however, I have found very few fanfiction stories to be enthralling. Most of them just do not match the series upon which they are based or have other factors which I dislike. One exception which I recently found are the blogs textneversent and waitingat221b. These two blogs present parallel stories from the view...

lyrical-sky: Sherlock Timeline of Series 1 and 2 (approx. 18-24 months) Here is the timeline of Series 1 and 2 (based on entries from John’s blog, screen captions from the episodes, and various screenshots of dates on mobile phones, newspaper articles, etc. from Series 1 and 2): * Now that more information is available, I’m currently working on a much longer and more comprehensive edition of...

Basically, Benedict’s face doing things-part 6 →
vhis: Basically, Benedict’s face doing things-part 6 New analysis on Sherlock: “The chemistry of feelings”. Moments when his face shows sentiment. Only when he’s alone or taken aback. Inspired by ”Sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side” and “I imagine John Watson thinks love’s a mystery to me, but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very destructive” and of course...

“In choosing the number of the concealed platform that would take young witches...”
– JK Rowling (via thehpfacts) This connects very well to Harry’s conversation with Dumbledore in The Deathly Hallows; if one waits at King’s Cross long enough then a train will come along to transport you on another journey. There are many trains to many destinations and King’s...

The James Brothers
silvestria: That sounds exactly the kind of book I would enjoy. Come September I will be lapping it up! I also want to read Wings of a Dove because Kate Croy sounds amazing. (In an evil way. Probably. I’ll probably love her and thinks she’s just misunderstood.) I’m not sure anything could surpass The Portrait of a Lady however. Honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read. It really affected...

What was the first literary book you ever read... →
emmadelosnardos: I remember, sometime around the age of 11 or 12, when I discovered that books — as in, real, serious literature (not marketed as paperback romances)— were a font of information about sex. To what did I owe this startling discovery? Either to Philip Pullman’s The Ruby in the Smoke, in which the heroine and hero make love before his tragic death in a fire; or to the numerous...
