This is fabulous! John's background is so fascinating and I love it when he's so self-sacrificing. Now they seem to be on the same page and that's bound to make a very powerful partnership.

Yep, now it's full steam ahead into Sherlock-and-John the Acting Team!

You've done an amazing job with taking their Holmes and Watson personas and adapting them to be actors. This is just wonderful.:-)

Thank you! The situation and the personalities are fun to adapt.

This was my closest corollary to how Sherlock is in canon. He isn't particularly vain, he doesn't want attention or glory, when he gets mad at people it's because they're stupid and they can't do what he does, and now here he's met John who CAN do what he does and it's incomprehensible to him and it angers him that John wouldn't be using it to its full potential. He's angry not on his own behalf but on behalf of the whole craft of acting.

This is brilliant, this entire series. Just truly and utterly brilliant. Ugh. I'm completely fluttering with anticipation for the subsequent chapters, you have no idea! You've done this so well and the detail is incredible. These boys are killing me!

You are the devil, woman. Not only are you writing a fic I literally cannot have enough of, you are writing a movie I really want to see. AND, I actually wouldn't mind a movie adaptation of the fic itself, not to mention the fact that you really need to rescue Sherlock from whatever evil empire has hold of him.

As you cannot possibly satisfy all the needs you created in the next three hours: Devil!

Which is to say, thank you, can I have another?

I'm not going to go into too much detail about Sherlock and John's movie, although I may post a bare-bones outline of its general plot on the next chapter. Who knows, maybe someday I'll write that movie on its own, not as a fanfic!
