WARNING: Spoilers for pretty much every iteration of Sherlock Holmes.

I have previously talked about getting into fan fiction through the fandom for BBC's show Sherlock, and the fact that I read pretty much all of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories as a teenager. I don't know if I've mentioned it or not, but I have also seen both of Robert Downey, ( Read more... )

Late to the party, as always. Originally posted here; I saw it here. Criteria were adult SF titles only (no fantasy or YA) published before 2000. Original instructions were to bold those I've read and italicize those I own but haven't read yet; I added underlining for authors who have written other books I've read and notes on the bold and ( Read more... )
