Look, here's fanfiction, it's not all bad.

It's for the BBC's Sherlock, and terrifyingly long, considering how I drop things like hot potatoes when things (like the plot) get difficult. Still ongoing, though it's not too far from the end.

Fifteen chapters. o_o

And 117 reviews.

In one month.

I am at a loss for words.

[nathir_twinsoul]

As to the chapters - this is what angsty employment does.

As to the reviews, and at the risk of sounding my own horn, I am either that good, or the fandom is that large and that rabid. Ahahahahahahahaha.

"...that is no orc horn!"

[lol, kuya and i were just watching lotr again last night =p]

you ARE that good. ...BETTER.

[nathir_twinsoul]

Haldir!

[That was the third thought. The first was "The horn of Gondor!" and the second one was "Wait, how did they know what the horn of Gondor sounded like in the first place, did they play around with it when they got bored in Moria or something?"]

And...

*blushes deeply*

[cursedchild]

it should be a fucking CRIME, tessa..

to make me squee and squirm and blush this much [3 CHAPTERS IN] on the day that i move into my new condo to prepare for my hermit medschool life. i.. *slowly closes eyes*

"What color WERE they??"

i watched the first ep with beija and mara, and I WAS SCREAMING THE SAME THOUGHT OVER AND OVER. srsly.

that man...and you...and the budding seme that is watson..

crime. just...CRIME.

I am ridiculously pleased that you are reading it. :D
(Behold the power of unemployment and being kicked out of grad school!)

And that you are watching Sherlock. :D

And I MISS YOU ALREADY!!! GAH, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THIS UNEMPLOYED LAST YEAR!!! I WANT TO KIDNAP ALL OF YOU NOW THAT I AM FREE AND CARE NOT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!

And you should check out John Watson's blog, and the Science of Deduction website, and Molly's blog too. The BBC has them up. The comments are precious.

*grins* without bias, this is seriously one of the best works i've ever read. i'm hooked! YOU HAVE TO UPDATE OH GOD I'LL DIE [but dont get pressured like rowling

[nathir_twinsoul]

Shucks, thanks. I'll update as soon as I can - I'm having difficulty with all the feelings.

*waves arms around*

And the fact that ff.net will not let me log in right now. >_<

And the job was, at least. Like a freaking anvil. And it killed grad school too, but, well, I can't do anything about that anymore (though Beng Villamil ought to hope and pray that I never see him again because I will not be kind). I'm trying freelance writing for now. And will eventually accumulate photographs.

I think I know how I lived without Sherlock, but I now do not know how to do without it. At all. WATCH 2 & 3! OH MY GODS, THE GREAT GAME.

[cursedchild]

by the way. i know this is probably a rhetorical question, but i'm asking this for the sake of asking the UNIVERSE

do you notice how his pupils dilate IMPOSSIBLY whenever he's in the thick of things - running around with watson, solving the crimes? it's CRAZY. i keep thinking how he manages to DO that - the actor, i mean - coz as far as i know, live eyes only do that when it's really dark or when the person is ahem. getting off on something.

it's almost never dark on a set, especially when the camera does a closeup. SO.

so yeah. remember when i told you i can probably fall asleep just listening to his voice? well, i think i can probably live for that - making his eyes go like that.

my GOD. i'm doomed. join me.

[nathir_twinsoul]

Oh my god, I never thought of it like that, but now that you mention it yes, they are. Like, like when he looks at evidence. :O

I can only paraphrase the dialogue: Cumberbatch gets off on it.

The question is whether he gets off on portraying Sherlock Holmes or Martin Freeman (Watson) - who totally ships it. Ahahahahaha.

And Cumberbatch, Cumberbatch! The more things I find out about him, the more I lament that he is not WITHIN GRABBING DISTANCE. He's politically aware, well-educated, very sweet, loves his parents, says things like "Oh, crumpets", spent a year teaching English in Tibet, was with his girlfriend for 10 years and wants her back now that they've split up, wants kids, likes banoffee pie, and would rather have sex over money.

The fact that this man exists has ruined me.

[cursedchild]

DIBA?? oh my god those blown pupils with that ring of impossible color.. i'd like to think that Cumberbatch is getting off on portraying Sherlock AND Martin Freeman. *rofl* this is so like merthur..

and oh wow.. he's all THAT?? IMPOSSIBLE. i dunno which part of that paragraph i'm gonna comment on. i just..i.. wow. i..

WOW. i can't breathe. hahaha!

[nathir_twinsoul]

And I forgot to mention that he goes around on this big motorbike.

Also, he's said that he's a "fucking fantastic lover" but I'm afraid that we'll have to take his word for that. (Full quote: http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2010/07/29/benedict-is-all-clued-up-as-sherlock-115875-22447976/ )
