Anyone willing to be a sounding board for a time loop Reichenbach Fall Sherlock fic? Most of my dear 'talk it over with me!' folks haven't seen it and I'm DYING to talk over a couple of the plot points!

To those aforementioned folks: I'm NOT grouchy or trying to make you feel bad! But I wanna talk about itttttt. /whine

Yay! I'm less legitimately stuck as I am... wanting to be sure I'm on point, if that makes sense.

Are you on AIM? Are you on my list and I forgot (I am really terrible like that sometimes)? Do you use google docs? :D

Well I don't mind chatting about it in comments here, if you like! Lemme give you access to read it, there's about 1,000 words--or I can tell you about it first?

Here's the prompt:
Sherlock never planned do die when he fell that day, but something went wrong and he did. Cue the universe cracking in epic mystery spot/ground hog day fashion where John finds himself reliving the day of Sherlock's death over and over again and through that progression learns of the plans Sherlock had made to defeat Moriarty. However as much as John tries to save Sherlock he ultimately realizes that the only way to break this loop is if he fixes the original problem and allows Sherlock to fake his death as it was all intended to happen... but then the question becomes can he really let Sherlock go?

I've been... a bit meticulous about it so far, haha. Spent a lot of time transcribing the ep so I could get the dialogue and events right, for before I shuffle them around in grand Groundhog Day fashion.

Timey wimey + Sherlock sounds like just my kind of thing if you'd like a Brit Picker :) I can't really do instant chat (pesky work rules ;)) but am pretty competent with Gdocs if you still need another pair of eyes!

I'd love to give you access if you'd like to peep at it! I'm not very far in, but it's going to be medium long, and will definitely need to be britpicked! I caught the first 'apartment' rather than 'flat' but stuff like 'pavement' vs. 'sidewalk' is always going to throw me, especially on my first Sherlock fic!

Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you, hectic here, a bit. Do you still have the same e-mail as of a few years ago? I can give that one access, you'd e-mailed me and I still have it :)

I don't really have a 'code' on it or anything but anything in green text in the file is something I'm unsure about. It'll usually have brackets, as well. Anything other than that is fair game as well, but those are the ones I've 'caught' haha.

I'm jadesfire2808[at]gmail.com :)

Gdocs now does all kinds of clever stuff with colours, so I'll dip in when I can and when you let me know there's new stuff and see what I can see! Looking forward to it :D

If you'd like me to screen your comment with your e-mail I will do that, as well (the anon one is screened, hehe)!

Looking forward to your insights! I have to laugh, the bit I'm working on right now I suddenly had a lot of 'hmm, what word should I use?' all of a sudden :P
