Heyyyy, canon-Sherlock fans!

[chamekke]

(...Assuming there's at least one on my f'list ;-)

Can you kindly point me to any fic-oriented Sherlock Holmes comms that are ACD-friendly? And/or canon-focused?

I have a sudden yearning to write a Study in Scarlet-based fic based on a plot bunny I hatched several decades years ago.

Mind you, it will involve digging out my copy of The Haymarket Tragedy, which: eep! *looks at unlabelled stack of book cartons with a sudden qualm*

Thank you very much!

I used to write ACD and Granada TV based Holmes stories lo these many moons ago.

*really replying to use this icon*

And you know I adore that icon, right?

I just checked out cox_and_co. It looks doable, membership-wise (you should see the hurdles I leaped to join the Bootmakers!) ... but they don't permit gen or het content, they're exclusively slash/femslash/poly. Which, erm, lets me out on this one! Still, it's good to know the comm is there.

It amuses me highly as I can't think of a man less likely to be able to grow that sort of moustache than MGB.

Ah, sorry, I forgot that. It's been ages since I've visited the site.

I think I'm now out of moustaches.

It's not a problem in general, just for this one fic. Which is probably the only canon fic I'll write. But I wouldn't mind reading the comm at all :-)

Here, have some more Litton. You know you want it ;-)

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I didn't think it would bother you but you were looking for a site to post a story.

Looking at that icon, it appears Litton wants it. :D

[chamekke.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one who thinks so ;-)

And, hey! Forgot about Artie from Warehouse 13. And Groucho Marx. And... *points*

Imma gonna stop now.

dispatch_box looks VERY promising, though. Yay!

*is using this as an excuse to work through all the moustache icons*

*is down to the Litton ones now*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Oh good, now they're a very friendly site as I remember.

And I just realized I have another moustache icon of a sort. :D

Ooh wonderful!

I see your Brian Blessed scowl and raise you a Litton snarl.
