Simply Sherlocked

me, an elder fandom veteran, suddenly having anne rice flashbacks:

no.

NO.

starting to rock back and fourth.

you do not understand.

you were born into an age of peace. i was there Gandalf. i was there three thousand years ago. i remember the cease and desists. i remember authors hunting fanfic writers for sport. i remember when every fic opened with a disclaimer because we genuinely thought it might protect us.

we do not charge money for the copyrighted gay wizard stories.

do not tempt fate youngling.

step away from the paywall.

that is how you summon the ancient evils.

did you ever do a podfic list?

Hi Lovely!!!!!

Yes, actually, and Part 4 was posted fairly recently so I don't have an updated new list.

Here are the past lists I have!

is that something y’all wanna know more about

It's because they're from Watson's point of view

Objectively, Sherlock's behaviour is obnoxious. Factually, announcing random things about people around him and generally acting smarter than everyone else and being annoyed when they dont get it is annoying to other people. In tv shows and movies, we see that, because we watch from 3rd person, alongside Lestrade and Mrs Hudson and everyone else.

But the books are entirely Watson's pov! Sherlock comes across delightful because that's how John sees him! Excitable and laughing at things and rambling adorably and being not difficult to live with at all, but that's because that's how he is with John, and how John sees him!

No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.
