OMGWTFBBQ, I’m going to have to read this through a million times and work out what in all holy fuck the plot can possibly be and what happens next, and I’m really tempted to just write a couple of thousand words of Mrs Hudson sitting in her flat and drinking tea. But no, I won’t, because it’s no worse than what I did to you last time :D AND THIS CHAPTER IS SO MUCH FUN, heee, Irene threatening to manhandle Mycroft and Mary being a total badass, and DUDE YOU CHOPPED A DOG APART, but you didn’t slice up the governess and child’s hands so naturally you get a gold star for restraint.

I love Irene and Mycroft’s verbal sparring - of course she had being tied up under control :D SHE IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL.

*runs away to consider*

Will do!

OMG, WHY? I mean... it's Disney. It's supposed to be a perfect world where everyone is happy and good prevails. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO SUCK TOO?

*sigh*

OMG, so looking forward to that discussion! (We will spend at least part of the time not getting depressed about inequality.)

This seemed like the perfect accompaniment to cyber!Sherlock. You might have picked up that I watch a lot of fanvids. But this one is so gorgeous. I am not actually familiar with Ghost in the Shell but i had major flashbacks to your fic while watching this. I need more cyber!Sherlock in my life.

Eee, that was awesome - such a beautifully edited vid. No, I don't know Ghost in the Shell either - but cyber-brain Sherlock works in any reality.

*pats your youger self* Don't be ashamed of the cyborg-loving tendencies, they made you who you are today. I'm really curious to know who was on the different lists now. And who would be on them today.

Hmm... interesting. IDK, it depends - if cybernetics was something you took on in order to do a job, I can definitely see the prejudice arising, since it would be linked to class, but if it's a voluntary improvement available to the rich, you'd be discriminated against for not having improvements.

Heheh, I can see why you'd expect Sherlock angst to be close to canon, because ANGST IS CANON AND CANON IS ANGST - but XMFC fluff is pretty varied between oh-but-it-all-turns-out-well, and fuck-it-it-can't-turn-out-well-INSERT-EMERGENCY-AU, so I had fewer expectations on that score. It was just the realism that surprised me.

OH MAN, ok, I've said this before, but if you read my stuff be prepared to drown in fluff. Most of the little ones at least have commedy value, but approach Downtown with extreme caution if at all.

All I can remember now is that Winnowill from Elfquest was #1 on the list of female villains because she remains, to this day, my favourite portrayal of a female villain everrrrr. Omg she turned into a bit of a caricature in the later books but in the first four she was this complex and rational person doing everything for what she saw as Good Reasons, but she was also so beyond evil it was inconceivable. I don't know if those comics haven't become quite dated (I think they came out in the 70's or 80's), but if you can find them at the local library I recommend them just for Winnowill, though all the characters and the big epic plots and the world building are great ( ... )

OK, I may be coming off as a cultural black hole here, but what is this thing called elfquest and do I need to read it ( ... )

Elfquest! It's one of those things that raised me to be who I am, but I'm not sure I should thank if for everything (I still am far too accepting of public nudity in myself and others). I don't think it's particularly known outside of 80's comics fans, but I do still love it. There are a couple of story arcs spreading over eight graphic novel-sized publications before new artists and writers come in, and both the early arcs are just stunningly good stories. I think they were my childhood's best examples of how to do character progression and growth, they're just so, so good in a simple-hero-myth kind of way. But I've heard the creators might have turned into douchebags later in life so I avoid reading around the franchise too much. I still enjoy reading them today, and they're not kids books so I understand a lot of stuff much better now. If you can find them at a library (they had multiple reprints at my local libraries right up until a few years ago) I definitely recommend them. There is a very, very good bromance in them too, that ( ... )

Ooh... turns out all of Elfquest is available online, though hard to read on a small screen. Which means that if I start I'll have to use my big monitor. Which is where I work. Which means I will NEVER WORK AGAIN. This is a calculated risk, and I feel that possibly the calculations fall against it. I cannot give myself unlimited access to something slashable.

HE CAN ONLY HUG HIS KIDS WITH ONE ARM BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE IS A HYDRAULIC DRILLYes, this, exactly this! OMG we will write this novel (or you will because I CAN'T WRITE). What is his name? How did he meet his BFF? When do the rich get their first modifications? OMG it's totally a rite of passage - the debutante ball where they all show off their new cyber-implants. And what has this done to concepts of female (and male) beauty? (And how many men get the cyber-cock implant? AND HOW MANY WOMEN ( ... )

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF ELFQUEST

IT'S OK IF YOU HATE IT

IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SHARE WITH SOMEONE BEFORE

We need to write this novel. His name is James. Jeremy. Toby- no not Toby. That's my baby first-cousin-once-removed's name and his Aunty Sophia wouldn't do that to him. Jeremy and Freya met in a floodway off a river at the bottom of the Rich Person Suburb. Jeremy was checking out a bird's nest in the tunnel. He didn't want to touch the babies in case the mother abandoned them. Freya told him it was okay the mother wouldn't abandon them, that was an urban myth, but he probably shouldn't touch them anyway because she'd seen something on TV by this religious fundamentalist who said "everything humans touch, they destroy". Then there was a flash flood and Jeremy heard it coming and Freya pulled them both out because she could swim better. The nest was destroyed.

Yes! Yes! A debutante ball! I get to write about CLOTHES! And robots! The key difference in the rich peoples' implants is that they're ( ... )

Hahahaha, oh dear, I did not need a new GIGANTIC thing to read that is freely available online. I'm interested, though... I've only read the first two issues and I'm pretty sure I'm either going to love it or hate it, no clue which just yet. But I'm already getting deeply slashy vibes from Cutter and Skywise... will wait and see what (who) else crops up!

Oh the baby birds! And Freya's family was horrified that she risked her own life to save this wothless lower-class boy who would only end up as a mindless mobile power tool anyhow. What was his life worth compared to their little girl, who would grow up into a worthwhile member of society, as intelligent and beautiful as money could make her?

Clothes and robots... awesome combination.

OH GOD, that sex scene. Oh man, it's totally when she does get the cyber-cock implant because that's one of the most expensive (high status) ones. Her parents force her to get it. And once when he was angry about something he'd yelled that all upper-class augmentations were freakish, and the cyber- ( ... )

Cutter and Skywise are my original Bromance. I'm still not sure whether I ship them, though I'm pretty sure that they do the nasty plenty of times because STDs don't exist in elves and it was created in the seventies. But if it was a popular comic now, I can imagine they would be the Steve/Tony of the fandom ( ... )

Ooh, I'd forgotten all about Elfquest until I opened this to reply. *puts on to-do list*

Hmm... do these kids end up together in this story, I wonder? Or does the fucked-up kid sex turn into happy buddy sex a la Clint and Nat, because they totally accept each other's augmentations and can enjoy each other's bodies with no angst?

It's so true. Apparrently Teen Wolf is the big up-and-coming slashy fandom, but I kind of get the feeling life is too short. Says the girl watching superhero cartoons.

I feel like they don't end up together, but they stay friends. I think the dude ends up becoming a political activist and is repeatedly arrested and the girl becomes a leading member of society because she wants to change things from the inside, but secretly she fears that she just chose a life that would allow her to maintain her privilege. Wait this is just Charles and Erik now isn't it o_o

That reminds me, I need to watch... oh my God, I was going to say "Once Upon a Time" but I noticed I have 6 first seasons downloaded to my computer that I haven't watched yet. Maybe I'll try and get through Xena, The Thick of It, Jekyll, Parks and Rec, BBC Planet Earth and US Being Human before I start something new...

ARGH GODDAMNIT.

But with more cybercock. Everything's better with cybercock. IT STILL HAS LITERARY VALUE.

If Charles had a mostly-metal cybercock then Erik could get him off from the other side of the mansion.
