Soooooooo... my gift was the EPIC 'The Empty Audience' (which should EVERYONE read ASAP!!!!), and I guess two lovely nissen were in it together, @sanguinarysanguinity & @scfrankles !
I've got a suspicion who's the author and who's the contributor of "stroke of genius"-line (among other things) but let's say: both are magic, and they have their ways ;)
My thoughts why it's them:
It's tailor-made, aka written with knowing me VERY well. They're my betas, we chat, hell, we're talking about a person who wrote/yelled at me in capital letters, "YOU CAN DRAG THE OXFORD COMMA FROM MY DEATH FINGERS", or something because I surely made a spelling mistake in this quote AGAIN...
Which leads to the linguistic patterns. Is it an inside joke or is it an inside joke (re: Americanism). Once again, the person I had a talk/lecture/scolding about Zimmermann vs cinnamon in the context of 'Sherlock Holmes: The Rediscovered Railyway Mysteries and Other Stories'
A person who had no knowledge prior my Holmestice assignement of the ACD universe *my* story is set in --- only to TELL the EXACT numbers of plates in one scene when working as my beta a week or so later... Research & attention to detail, check!
Thanks to me one/both know about 'The Newly Discovered Casebook of Sherlock Holmes'. Also, I remember a sneaky/evasive/... message that they have download it but - you know - busy etc.
Oh, and for 'Cabin Pressure' (re:comment on Ao3). Geoffrey Whitehead who voices Moriarty in this universe, is not only the best/eyeliner!Holmes but also starring in said radio comedy alongside Benedict Cumberbatch. Yes, I know such things. And who else...?
