From January 2012 - January 2013: A Year of Fic-Writing in Review

"No, no," I always said, "I cannot write Sherlockfic. I am not clever enough. I'm terrible at plotting. How do people come up with those mysteries? I don't get it."

You are lovely. :D

Quite looking forward to some of those finishes!!

[earlgreytea68]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy them!

I am in awe of your word count! And I'm with you on the editing of original fiction i.e. I have lots to edit and I'm not doing it :)
Oh and the college professors AU - can I just issue a plea for that one to be next?

[earlgreytea68]

Hee! I do kind of want to write that college professors AU next...

And the word count thing is the result of lots of really prolific spurts followed by me being like, "I have no idea what happens next!"

Have you truly only been writing Sherlock fic for a year? My goodness, what a lot you've accomplished! I've been lurking in your corner since I stumbled into this fandom (my first and only) last spring. Your Scotch verse stories remain among my favorites--particularly your beautifully realized Mycroft.

In any case, thanks for sharing your stories and for your intelligent, careful plotting and writing. Are you an academic? Greetings from a fellow traveler in academia.

[earlgreytea68]

Yup, just a year. I started while S2 was airing.

And I am indeed an academic! Hello! ::exchanges special academia handshake::

You are AWESOME and I LOVE YOU...(err...don't be scared!)

Once I succumbed to Sherlock six months ago, it was wonderful to see that you'd started writing for the fandom! I think I read the Scotch verse in one or two sittings, and I depend on Tumblr to keep up with the Schoolboy AU, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I always read it at AO3 which doesn't let you leave kudos on separate chapters! (How aggravating!) Would me begging you to POST MORE and FASTER encourage you? I know I'm ridiculous, but seeing that you've posted something new just makes my day!!

Awww, yay, I'm so glad that you enjoy my fics so much! And I post as quickly as I can! That's why I'm always so behind on comments!! :-)

This was great! I loved reading this essay, as an obsessive consumer of sherlock fic but someone who has never had the courage to even start one. So many wonderful writers in this fandom, and I have really enjoyed your work especially.
By the way, I'm holding my breath for Sex Druid!!! : )

[earlgreytea68]

Thank you so much! And I'm going to hold my breath for Sex Druid right along with you, because I have no idea what that fic's about!
