I watched the pilot of Elementary, and am trying to figure out why Miller!Holmes and Cumberbatch!Holmes are nails on a chalkboard for me, when I'm fine with Downey!Holmes.

( No spoilers, but cut anyway, so as to not rain on anyone's parade. )

So, as promised, some thoughts on Sherlock Holmes: Game of ShadowsMy initial reaction was that anyone who liked the previous film would probably like this one, and anyone who didn't still won't, butI've seem reviews of people who didn't like the previous film but liked this one, and vice versa, so evidently not ( Read more... )

I'm torn on the new Sherlock Holmes movie. Oh, I want to see it, definitely. But every time I see a trailer or picture and Noomi Rapace is in it, I wince and go, "Oh, please don't be atrocious, please don't be atrocious."

I just found my Holmes AU in a delicious list with the note, "Please beg author to continue!" Heh. No wonder that "complete" tag on ff.net is doing me no good at all. I've never had so many pleas to continue a fic! *am pleased and kind of exasperated at once ( Read more... )

Clearly my trouble getting fic finished has to do with most of my fics being long and plotty, because this is the second short fic I've finished in a week. Or maybe SH dystopia just speaks to me.

Title: The Sorry Creatures
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes
Rating: R for prison fic set in a dystopian AU... yeah. Not nice.
