You need to go read this. And its epilogue.

It's called Transport and is written by thisprettywren, and basically, it's one of the very few fics I've ever read that perfectly captures the downside of what it must be like to live in Sherlock's head. Includes consentual bondage and sensory deprivation.

Hello my friendslist,

I've decided to try something with this unruly batch of Sherlock fanfic I've been grappling with for the past few weeks: some of them are fairly polished, but some of them are still pretty rough, but I've decided I'm going to ask for concrit on all of them at the same time so I can test out the "x-draft vs polished critique" ( Read more... )

Q
2,000 new words today, almost 8,000 altogether, and still can't see the end in sight yet

So, the first one of those two Sherlock fics that was kicking my ass so bad?

X-DRAFT, BITCHES!

BOOYAH

WHO DA Q

Q
Now I've finally got something to work with...*takes deep breath in anticipation of the real writing work ahead*
