Awww, thank you hon. It's fabulous to see what a terrific collaborative effort this has been behind the scenes, but god damn, you've been the binding force of it all and you've written a wonderful story, full of humour and love and heart and, let's face it, some very suitable and satisfying REVENGE, with so many wonderful characters, even the ones I love to hate.

*cuddles The Scottish Play to my bosom and smooshes the stuffing out of it*

The collaborative efforts really increased the fun factor for me. When I first realized I was going to have to write it I knew I was going to need prompting because if I'd been left to my own devices the members of the Holmes family would have all ended up looking much more similar than they should have and would have presented very much in the style of: I'm Ed. This is my brother Darryl. This is my other brother Darryl. That over there is my third cousin Darryl.

I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for sitting down and telling me exactly what bits you liked best, I really appreciate that!

Now after that last line in your reply I can't just say "Thank you for reccing me and your story would is completely wonderful." Darn.

[impulsereader]

You can't? *looks around, bewildered* I think your reply is quite lovely! I'm happy to rec good fic (thought I cannot guarantee anyone actually reads fic because I've rec'd it) and utterly chuffed that you think my story is completely wonderful. It's even better that you commented on it within the story as well as here! Rest assured, I'm perfectly happy! I'm having a great time and just giving you guys a bit of a rest before I ask for more input on the Baker Street interludes! There must be a way to inject more Shakespeare!

I have been telling garienos that we have been imortalised in fic! I shall have to link him to it so he can read it!

[impulsereader]

I greatly appreciate all the time you took to read, correct and comment! You made this a much better story by far!

[quarryquest]

The offer is still there if you need the next part worked on ...

[impulsereader]

As soon as there is something to be worked on, I'll be sure to let you know...back to the beginning at the moment...ideas whirling around, flist to be consulted...spies and plot lines and Mcroft assassinations and Cabin Pressure to sort out...my head is pretty fun to be in right now...

Will you be posting this story on AO3 so I can download and read it on my Kindle? It looks like so much fun. The "overwhelmingly gen" part is a plus because I've been getting pretty bored with all the overwhelming porn lately :-).

Do I read you right that there is more to come? Be still my heart :-)

[impulsereader]

Oh. Well, hello. *waves* I actually am on AO3 as impulsereader with everything I've posted on LJ also up there. (erm, probably, most likely, there might be a slight delay but not, at the moment, a significant one which I am aware of except in my 60s which I tend to move over in batches but also write in batches so that may not count :-) rambling, sorry) I believe there should be a proper link in my master/sticky post on lj to my stories on AO3.

All my stories are gen / teasing the slashers as the show does. I promise there will be no porn and no snogging in this 'verse. (though there is a fake engagement)

There is more to come. I have posted January through May in the Interludes - a peek at J&S's prep through the year. June will be up soon and I am working on the Much Ado year which will feature a Cabin Pressure crossover. I'm having a lot of fun crossing Sherlock with Shakespeare - I very much hope to entertain you along the way. :-)

Duh {face->palm}. I actually knew you were there, but I missed finding The Scottish Play (I looked after the rec on 221B-recs). I love the idea of Sherlock fused with Shakespeare and await Sherlock!Hamlet with trepidation (with John!Horatio, perhaps).

Off to read.

[the_hobbet]

I'm back from reading :-). Wonderful story. I commented in more detail on AO3, where I'm known as Fictitious. I realize I previously recced your story "I Prefer to Text" on Crack-Van.

PS. I added you as a friend. I hope that is OK.
