Hi hi a fan of yours here. I loved your write up on the whole S3 about the whole shipping thing etc I know you mentioned Private Life and I was curious if you had seen this article from the observer, 2010 by Gatiss as a film that changed his life. The wording fits this season. “The relationship between Sherlock and Watson is treated beautifully; Sherlock effectively falls in love with him in the film, but it’s so desperately unspoken.” If you’ve seen it, ah well, if not, please enjoy and thanks!

Never feel shame about sharing cool news and links!

Have I ever seen that one. ^_^  It turns out that apparently Gatiss CAN’T STOP TALKING about Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. 😀  He manages to slip a mention of it into at least one interview every year!

It is such an awesome thing about the Sherlock Holmes fandom: we’re so lucky to have this enormous body of work, literature, and scholarship to draw on.  It makes Sherlock Holmes its own self-contained body of literature, and look how rich the results are!  It’s a neverending source of bemusement to me that Sherlock Holmes fanfic of any stripe is belittled or ridiculed, because what else would you call the entire 100-year tradition surrounding the original stories?  ’Pastiche’ is just a word for fanfiction that’s been professionally published.
