holmestice sign-ups are open, and
scfrankles has marked the occasion by gifting me a delightful treat based on one of the sources I requested last round, a Muppets sketch wherein Holmes is a whale. When I requested that sketch, I dearly hoped that someone would give it a think and tell me how Holmes-as-a-whale even worked, and
scfrankles has! While remaining absolutely true to both the Muppets source and Holmes canon, as anyone who is familiar with her work might expect.

Living over the road from Sarah Jane Smith has a terrible effect on one's property value.
Inspired by Alien Estate by
paranoidangel
Sarah Jane Smith lives at No. 13 Bannerman Road and has many encounters with space aliens, many of whom eventually find their way to her front door. It's absurd, of course, to think that no one else in the road notices all this, and indeed,
paranoidangel's "Alien Estate" is about Alan Jackson's difficulties in selling No. 36, primarily due to so many of his prospective buyers noticing the obvious: Bannerman Road is infested with space aliens.
I thought it'd be fun to do a POV-swap of the original story, and meanwhile imagine some of the other times someone tried to sell No. 36 after Sarah Jane moved in over the road. The only canon knowledge you need for this story is that Mr Smith does love his big entrances. (I swear they get more involved as the series progresses -- he starts releasing balloons at one point, and I kept expecting him to eventually upgrade to fireworks.)
