Re: Tennis AU - Question for OP anonymous June 12 2011, 19:42:04 UTC
Hello, uh, not promising anything but, would you be ok with a bit of fiddling on the prompt? More plot wise than premise or setting?

Thanks.

Plot fiddling is absolutely fine, was mainly after a Tennis AU and that was just an idea I had and hoped would inspire. Feel free to take it and run

Ok, thanks. :) My muse is starting to jump all over this one.

Another question though cause I don't to just presume, but what about slash? Would you have any problems with Sherlock/John or would you prefer gen? Just thought I'd ask first.

Sorry, lol'd a little bit at that question.

Slash=good!

Sherlock/John= very very happy OP

A Study In Winning

*

Tennis has been my life for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is of Dad taking me to the local park to play a little knock around on the concrete courts with those huge wooden rackets we would later use as snow shoes the January after the almost white Christmas. I must have been a natural because Dad kept taking me back and Harry showed her displeasure by aiming tennis balls at my head from close range. She has always been the more violent of the two of us. Still, her aim hadn’t always been that good back then and it meant I became very good at dealing with tennis balls hurtling towards my head. Facing a hundred and forty mile an hour serve from a professional player has little on the fierce temper of my sister. Still, without her I wouldn’t be where I am today.Which was where exactly ( ... )

Apologies now for the terrible use of different languages and accents throughout this story. No offence intended. Also I may have taken a little inspiration from the film Wimbledon. :)“Just tell me how bad it is,” he groaned pressing his face into the towel covering the medical examination bench ( ... )

‘Johnny, its Harry. Look about the tickets, you were joking right? You are gonna get me some. You know how much I enjoy watching you play, and if this is going to be your last, well then, and you promised you’d keep in touch. Sucks having to find out how you’re doing from the newspapers. You know what they’re like. Anyway, call me ( ... )

Thank you. :) I have a soft spot for Wimbledon too. Especially at this time of year. And I tend to have a lot of fun writing AUs.

At the moment I'm hoping to post a part a day while my muse continues to play ball. So far, so good. :)

Aww! Loved John's litany of losses. And the second round of Queens isn't that bad! Also loved your description of Sherlock, SO much better than mine!

(Also Wimbledon is one of the OP's favourite films. She watches it pretty much every year, usually just after the last British player has gone out...)

Loving this so far
