Hello! I firstly would like to add that I cracked up when you suspected that your author had dropped out, considering that I was the one writing the emails.

I'm truly glad you enjoyed the fic. I had a great deal of fun writing it. I'm happy you liked the character casting. And I'm glad I managed to pic a play that elicited nostalgia from you!

As You Like It is not one of Shakespeare's most well known plays, but its homoeroticism makes it one of my favourites. In the actual play, Holmes is a woman (Rosalind) cross-dressing as a man, and in the end the queer undertones are resolved when she reveals that she is a woman. I wanted to create the reverse here.

Cheers!
