Sometimes I just want to climb up on my university's rooftops and shout LESBIAAAAAAAAANS, just to see what'd turn up: a pissed-off security guard, or a love story.

In that vein: fem!Sherlock is unexpectedly difficult to write. Good to know, but fuck it. It was meant to study the ways the character might turn out as a woman, what changes it would ( Read more... )

Dear Internet connection: Y U NO WORK. (AGAIN.)

I seem to only update this journal to bemoan my dysfunctional relationship with Technology these days. Rest of the time, considering that my writer's block is reaching heights never before imagined, I've been trying my hand at podfic - apparently my Sherlock voice is ridiculous and very, very posh. A ( Read more... )

Someone force me to write this thing.

Before I throw my desk out the window. I have thought up so many plot points and character motivations and secret detective agencies in the heart of London of all things bloody hell - in the last two days that my head is very much about to explode.

(Um, also: I've watched The God Complex, but the review shouldn' ( Read more... )

I have just had the strangest street meeting in my life.

Random Guy Handing People Flyers: Hi! Do you hate the suburbs?
Me: What?
Random Guy Handing People More Flyers: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: What?
awkward pause.
Random Guy Reaching Into His Satchel: Do you think all the people living in the suburbs of Paris are dangerous young thugs who come and ( Read more... )

Query: should I first write the BBC!version of Derringer Sky, or this one actor!Sherlock playing Shakespeare story concept that's been spinning round my head these last few days?

Or just

sort of

mesh up the two together

because android!Sherlock quoting Shakespeare might be strangely fantastical. Mm.

ALSO. KAT WROTE THE MOST WONDERFUL ARSENE LUPIN/ ( Read more... )

You know you've spent too much time in Sherlock Holmes fandom when you're writing a paper on Jan Smuts and all you keep writing is Jam Smut.

Especially when your civilization teacher loves the BBC shows and knows all about fandom.

This was a bit FAILy, self.

Re: Doctor Who.

( spoilers. )

Oh my god, there's podfic now. Mildly agonizing over the keyboard, ahh.

This has been one hell of a rollercoaster. It's funny how my life online is generally wonderful, and RL is intensely stressful and chaotic, these days - still, no more Sherlock-related writer's block, which is very, very satisfying.

(For those who, well, don't frequent the ( Read more... )

Okay.

What just happened?


( Read more... )

Of a very strange, slanted sort. Somewhat happy, and somewhat ruining my life.

So I ran into this over on the Sherlock ficmeme.

And I. I can't write a Sherlock/To Say Nothing Of The Dog crossover. I just can't. It would be wonderful, and it would fit maddeningly well - the jet-lag and the history, Victorian London and stray, meaningful cats - it ( Read more... )

Note to self: never again listen to Eddie Izzard on the morning bus. Ever again. People will just think you're mad. No, seriously.

That said, recording podfic is actually quite fun, all strange French accents and funny th's notwithstanding. I like it. Anything you'd like me to record, people?

I need to work out a writing chart; this is getting out of ( Read more... )
