Ohhh...so beautiful!

I swear, if you don't at least self-publish this project when this is done I will be a VERY unhappy kitty. I have a spot on my bookshelf waiting for it.

I hadn't even considered that, actually.

I'd have to have Pip look over it all, clean it up a bit.

Christ, would anyone actually want to BUY it? How does one self-publish, anyway? I could ask Reapersun, she published that awesome Wreck comic...

Given the amount of quasifamous writers - and well-known authors, here and there - in the Sherlock fandom alone, I'm sure *somebody* could point you in the right direction!

I'm looking back and seeing that I never left a comment on this, which is a pity because it's fantastic. I'd try to go on and tell you why, but writing coherently isn't going well for me lately and I worry that you might never hear from me at all if I delay. But it's a beautiful bittersweet insight about loving and being loved for who one is, instead of for a passing resemblance to a projected ideal. (You see what I mean now. :-) )
