CAN I JUST SAY HOW MUCH I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR SHERLOCK NOIR. I try not to read fic that's in-progress because it makes me antsy, but I think I might break my rule for you.
(Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, but I didn't get the notification for some reason. What the eff, LJ.)
I did know about Looking for Mary; I'm saving it. I tend to stockpile fanfics by writers I like, and then gorge myself on them like Halloween candy. ;) I have read some of your other Holmes fics though, and they were great. As a Victorianist, I tend to stay away from SH fandom because a good portion of the writing makes me want to defenestrate my laptop. I appreciate the authenticity of your dialogue. :)
Re. ass/arse: Absofuckinglutely. That is one of my pet peeves too. I think it's probably just because my family is English, but I just can't understand how people miss these things if they have, you know, spoken the language ever. Or even heard it spoken, in movies, for example. :P
Don't ever apologize for your writing! The best writers I know get up every morning behaving as though their staggering genius is a gift to the world. Fact. I'm not saying don't seek to improve or accept praise graciously, but it's really okay to be proud of your work.
Obviously there's going to be a continuum, and you're always going to get to a place where you look back and think "WTF was I on when I wrote that??" It's a bit like fashion--believe it or not, as awful as those parachute pants may seem now, at one time you wanted to be buried in them. And that's okay.
Wow, what the hell is in this Vitamin Water? Essence of Motivational Speaker? I'll stop now. :P

I just went to my master fic list and felt shame on seeing all the other Holmes were PWP...
