I know the title sounds boring - but just hold on for me!
My name is Logan, I'm a psychology student and fanfic author, and recently I've found myself being curious about the general preferences of fanfic readers as a whole. I possess the ability to both gather and interpret data, and so I'm putting it to use!
The below google form contains a total of seven sections, three broad sections on general fanfic reading behaviour which should apply to everyone, one section on smut fanfiction which you should only answer if you engage with smut fanfics, and two fandom specific sections which you can skip if you are not in those fandoms (Teen Wolf and One Piece)
All data is 100% anonymous so you're encouraged to answer honestly!
All questions are also optional (aside from one - asking if you do or don't read NSFW fics) which means you can skip any question you're not sure about, don't have an answer for, or simply don't want to answer.
Once I've got some significant numbers, I'll share them here - please reblog this or share it with friends to increase the amount of data that we get from this
Introduction
My name is Logan, I am a psychology student, a fanfic author and curious by nature.
This form will ask a series of questions
21.13 look at him. Look at this guy he likes Watson SO much.
24.47
25.29, 25.41
Watson @ Holmes smiles:
2.14
2.25
3.27
4.05
6.11
8.51
9.23
14.11
24.54
Shared Moments:
9.36
16.45
Assorted:
1.24 - 5.03: Just Holmes responding to Watson being hurt and distressed with 4.5 minutes intense eye contact at approx. 4 inches from his face. Watson is not remotely disconcerted by this.
1.54: Holmesโ grumpy face when he asks who hit Watson.
2.55: I am irrationally touched by Watson's plaintive expression when Holmes reassures him he couldnโt have made a mistake about Higgins being dead.
5.40 - 5.55: I do just love how attentive Watson is to Holmesโ deductions.
6.09: I like to think Holmesโ amused/bemused expression here is in response to the landlady referring to him as Watsonโs โgentleman friendโ:
19.21: Holmes turns to look towards the museum curator, who is speaking, but his eye-line has to pass Watson to reach the curator. When he finds Watson looking at him, his gaze hangs out there for a distinct beat, just for the enjoyment of looking at Watsonโs eyes I suppose, before finishing his initial project of paying attention to the curator and those international stakes heโs on about.
18.50, 19.42: Possibly does it again at these beats, although the second in particular is much more dubious.
23.19: In which Holmes takes a quick pause from answering the man pointing a gun at them to look to Watson with the reassurance that he believed him all along.
5.08 - 5.12: Hands on shoulders > arm grab > shoulder pat. (Also please note that instead of just pulling away at the end, he fully slides his hand from Watsonโs far shoulder across his back and arm).
8.12 - 8.20: hand on arm > jacket pinch to pull Watson out of the room.
Holmes bumping into Watson and pulling his nose ig (off-screen)
21.14 - 21.17: Arm pat > hand on back as they walk off screen.
Initiated by Watson:
1.29: Rapidfire poking
1.48 - 1.50: Iโm reasonably sure Watsonโs hand bumps Holmesโ at 1.48; accidental for a start, though they hold there for a beat.
8.21 - 8.31: Hand on arm to stop Holmes. Doesnโt stay there for the full ten seconds; pulls his hand away, puts it back, then taps it emphatically.
Incidental:
5.56: Holmesโ hand brushes against Watsonโs arm as Watson turns. It would have been easy enough for Holmes to move his hand out of the way, but theyโre comfortable enough in each otherโs space that he doesnโt bother (/doesnโt want to?)
2.51: Reassuring Watson that heโs a very good doctor who knows how tell when people are dead. (Sounds patronizing written out, but Watson was quite shaken and needed the reassurance).
13.38: โMy dear Watsonโ
24.40: โWell done Watson, well done!โ
24.47: โMy dear fellowโ
24.47: โI have sublime confidence in your ability to extricate us from any predicament in which my rashness may place us.โ (A continuation of the above bullet-point, but I want the โmy dearsโ separate for synthesis reasons).
Before the start of the episode, Watson correctly assesses Higgins as dead, and believes he died of a heart attack. They view the body again at 8.53, but this is primarily for Holmes to examine it, since Watson already has.
Itโs unclear whether the heart attack was naturally occurring or induced via poison or something by the curator? Iโll spare the details, but the case itself is โฆ less than immaculately plotted in this episode. Thereโs lots of elements that seem to indicate the curator murdered Higgins, but during the interrogation at the end Higginsโ death never comes up. My guess is that the curator did murder Higgins in an earlier script, and it was cut out later.
Weโve got breaking and entering and property damage in this one!
As in Cunningham, I cannot overstate how much they did not need to do this. They were working with Lestrade. The museum curator wasโwell he was very much the thief, but it shouldnโt have been hard to pressure him into cooperation with police backup. But that would have been less fun :(
The vase Holmes breaks is clarified to be a reconstruction, not an original artifact. But itโs still museum property, and once again this was so entirely not a required action. Holmes just takes great joy in scandalizing Watson ๐
16.30: I wonder whether Lestrade mocking Watsonโs ghost story is a step towards Watson becoming more willing to join with Holmes in his mockery of the police?
18.19: Watson does have a bit of a go at Lestrade using Holmesโ methods at the end of the scene.
8.46: Holmes loooves an accent and sucks at them pretty bad ๐ I donโt know if thatโs Ronald Howard being bad at accents (and/or having 0 minutes to practice given the rapid shooting schedule), but either way I find it endearing, I love this guy and his little performances. Anyway, weโve got the first here, in a cockney accent that Dick Van Dyke could have modeled his own after.
15.48: โisnโt it obvious?โ
18.19:
Lestrade: Whatโs he [Holmes] talking about?
Watson: Art, ghosts, my black eye, and psychology.
I love when Watson picks up on how Holmes runs his show and uses it to impress/mess with people (he also did this with Inspector McLeod in Pennsylvania Gun). Heโs gathered that you donโt always need to know what the fuck is going on to pull off the cool, smart and mysterious actโjust a waggling eyebrow, a few vagaries, and a confident attitude.
Intricate Rituals: Adding this subsection section because: am I convinced any of Holmes antics are absurdly elaborate schemes for getting close to Watson? No. Although I am squinting very very hard at two instances in particular. But is it theoretically possible to read some some of his shows as among the strangest creativity ever to manufacture excuses to touch the skin of other men? Absolutely. Do I find it really really funny to read his antics that way? yes. yes I do.
Holmes played dress-up and pulled Watsonโs nose for case reasons, but Iโm tentatively putting this here because fully bumping into Watson does seem more than altogether necessary.
5.04: Watson protests leaving the house to investigate the ghost who punched him, yet following a singular protest of โIโm in no condition to leave the houseโ, heโs standing before Holmes can get three words into his counter-argument. And while Watson levies protests as they go, he does this while slipping past Holmes to march out the door ahead of him.
Once again Watson protests mightily about breaking into the museum, while following Holmes right on in.
Contrast the intensity of his anti museum-breaking protests to his halfhearted objected to Holmes getting them held at gunpoint again. "You didn't have to invite him in here to catch us, you put us in rather an awkward position" (24.44), he says, with about the intensity of reminding your flatmate to please clean their dishes before your friends pop over for dinner. And then Watson forgets to be even that hint of annoyance upon receipt of one (1) compliment. Ridiculous man ๐
Note Watson's exclamation as they enter the museum: "Look here, have we broken into the rear of the museum? Because if so Holmes, really I don't know what's going to happen to us! (21.39 - 21.44). Whatever nonsense Holmes gets himself into, Watson will be right there suffering the consequences with him.
I've always thought Watson's sudden interest in the broken vase/rug pull was one of his less elegant stratagems, but hey, in the show logic it worked. So I'm once again giving him double-points for being badass and clever about it.
Remember this line from Holmes? โOh, my dear fellow, I have sublime confidence in your ability to extricate us from any predicament in which my rashness may place usโ (24.47). So yeah Holmes has officially appointed Watson his valiant knight. Getting damseled so Watson can be big and strong and clever and save them both is threatening to become his new favourite hobby.
Emotional Distress:
Nothing from Watson I can think of here; this episode is a reversal of the norm in which Holmes has a turn at care-taking.
I didn't catch much in this episode; Holmes has Watson to himself for most of the really exciting bits.
However, at the climax they're being held at gunpoint and Holmes is answering the curator's questions. Partway through his gaze shifts to Watson, and he continues to address Watson specifically as he explains what had happened the night of his ghostly encounter. (23.18 - 23.41). It's very, 'my best friend needs his sense of reality restored, so you and your gun will just have to wait'.
Asides:
As always Holmes can't resist a snipe at Lestrade, and turns to Watson to deliver it (9.33).
13.41: โLook here Holmes, this whole Higgins affair has gone too far.โ - there's the phrasing, but in this case it's directed at the situation, not Holmes.
22.04: โHolmes, what are you doing, this is wanton destruction, Iโve never seen anything like this in my life, I forbid you toโI didnโt know this side to your character Holmes, Iโm shocked" - and here we don't have the phrasing, but do have the general sentiment directed at Holmes.
13.59: Watson: โI stayed rather later at the club than usual, there was a chap from Afghanistan and he was awfully interestingโโ here Holmes interrupts.
I understand this doesnโt seem remotely relevant to this section. Or to anything. Thatโd be because at the moment it isnโt, but Iโll want it for reference later.
12.16: The first time Holmes plays violin! Heโs not very good <3
I can never decide if Holmes is self-aware about his poor playing. In this case, is Holmes playing violin when Watson returns after the indignity of getting his nose tweaked (by Holmes) as an attempt at soothing apology? Or is he perfectly aware his playing is grating and doing it to indulge his love for fucking with Watson?
Well Holmes' choices in this episode would be the opposite of that. As Watson notes (24.43), Holmes straight up engineers them facing the curator in the museum alone.
Alternatively, to refer again to Holmes' confidence in Waton's "ability to extricate us from any predicament in which my rashness may place us", Holmes' precautionary measure was having a Watson.
When they get held at gunpoint in Cunningham, Holmes looks startled and frighted. Not this time! We don't get an immediate reaction shot when the curator enters, but Holmes is chilling this whole stick-up. Takes a seat, chats about the case. Makes 0 effort to find a solution. My man's just hanging out while he waits for Watson to do something clever to rescue them.
