Comments

[language_escapes]

You... are amazing. All hail.

[mightymads]

Thank you so much for all your help and patience! I’ve had a wonderful time! Hope to be back for the next round :)

[orchid314]

I can assure you that you had nothing to worry about! (Although I understand the feeling, as this was my first time to participate, too.)

Btw, what is the name of your story about Watson's mother's ring? I'd like to read it.

[language_escapes]

Bwahahahaha... I had to try something new! My Elementary fic is always so easy to guess, since my style is so very Me! I'm glad that I baffled so many people.

And oh, your 221B Baker Towers was so good! I'm so glad we got two fics this round!

[language_escapes]

You wrote my 221 Baker Towers fic! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! Thank you for expanding the 'verse works!

[mightymads]

It’s The Old Pawnbroker. The idea of Mother’s ring came from another fandom altogether and from another doctor (or rather a man who played that doctor).

Also, in 1954 Ronald Howard Sherlock Holmes series both Holmes and Watson wear rings on their pinky fingers, but it would’ve been too obvious, right? And since ACD doesn’t specify on which finger Holmes wears the ring from Holland, well... :)

[tei]

\o/ we... mutually matched? Is there a word for that? I’m so glad you liked it! :D

[alexcat]

Thanks again to lamplighter1890 for such a great fic! I have been in this exchange several times and realized that I don't actually know any of you. *Waves* Hello!

[phoenixfalls]

See, I was thinking that the combination of Elementary rarepair plus mature/explicit rating made Hollow Moon obviously me, and was amazed that you picked up on my MDBD titling habits to guess that one for me instead! :D

[phoenixfalls]

I was looking for you ALL OVER THE EXCHANGE and couldn't spot your work! I finally plugged you in for my fake guess for my fic, because I couldn't find a fic that made me go "oh yes, there's Lang!" SO SNEAKY going out of your usual format!

[elwinglyre]

I was right about a_different_equation, but so, so, wrong about my video and gift video! I got stumped! Thanks so much pagimag or two of the best video I've ever seen. You gave me inspiration!

[milverton]

Thanks again for my fic, fridaythegowerstreetcat! :d

This was definitely a highlight of the holiday season. Thank you, mods, for putting it all together. Looking forward to participating again!

[milverton]

Hi :)) Same here. I participated one other time, under another username, a couple of years ago; glad I decided to give it another go. Getting to know y'all will probably improve my guessing post game next round....

[write_out]

So many great works this round! Thanks to everyone for participating and an extra big thank you to the mods for taking such good of us and keeping this exchange running so smoothly!

Now I'm off to get caught up!

[orchid314]

Oh, I’ve had that story bookmarked and been meaning to read it for a while now. I only wish there were more time to read everything on my list! I hope to be able to get to it over the holiday. Here’s to many more stories—both writing and reading them—in 2019!

[starfishstar]

As Sang said, it began simply as a meta by sophistory on Tumblr – in response to BBC Sherlock to start with, but also to Sherlock Holmes adaptations as whole: Sherlock Holmes is seen as quintessentially British, but within that is an assumption of what "British" means: white, English, upper-class. There are lots of people who aren't those things, but are just as British! So what if Holmes were...Black? poor? living on a council estate in a rough part of London? and just as smart as, say, Sherlock in the BBC version, but society doesn't give him a pass for his "eccentric" behaviors the way it does with BBC Sherlock...

Anyway, you can read the original concept post HERE. The originator, sophistory, also created two fantastic, evocative art pieces: You See, But You Do Not Observe and like a spider in the centre of its web.

Then mindtardis created a couple of fantastic vids – yes, vids, despite there being no source material for this 'verse! They headcanoned the roles with actors from "Attack the Block".

And for a while, people on Tumblr were tossing around and discussing wonderful headcanons (e.g. great and varying ideas about what Irene Adler's story might look like in this 'verse!) but like Tei said, so much of it has gotten lost to the wilds of Tumblr. These Tumblr discussions are also the origin of the idea that Watson might himself be from Afghanistan, rather than a soldier invalided back from war in Afghanistan (that wasn't part of the concept originally – but that's the whole idea of the 'verse, that it's an open universe and anyone can add to it as they see fit).

Anyway, that's way more info than you asked for, but I thought (hoped!) maybe others might come by and be interested, too. I think the 221B Baker Towers idea is SO brilliant, and I'm over the moon if we've introduced it to a few more people! (Sang has been requesting it in Holmestice forever – I must have first learned about it from her – and I'm just so thrilled that we've now had 221B Baker Towers as part of Holmestice!)

[starfishstar]

Aah, thank you so much! And kudos to you for creating a charming fic AND fooling so many people with it!

[iwantthatcoat]

Well count me in for next time! I am a fan of the Watson and Holmes comic—specificlly Irene Adlero. I met Lyndsay Faye and told her her Irene is just about the only adaptation I have liked so far. Course that Holmes doesn’t seem council estate poor, certainly not Mycroft. Glad to have another version to delve into.

[starfishstar]

Ah, but see, I have the dubious advantage that I don't know Elementary, and I don't know Elementary fic, so I don't know what to look for there. Whereas I've spent some time with the MDBD collection!

[starfishstar]

I finally read the Watson and Holmes comic just recently, so I'll be able to offer that next Holmestice!

But I've only read the first volume; I thought I'd heard that the second volume is a collection of short stories by different people, and thus kind of uneven? But it sounds like you're saying it's worth it and I should get it!

[sanguinity]

The second volume is uneven, yes. But Lynday Faye's story is very nice, and totally makes me slash Violetta Smith and Irene Adlero. Just in case that kind of thing is a draw for you. ;-)

[iwantthatcoat]

Agreed. I only remember Adlero and Smith’s stories

[mightymads]

Yes! To many more stories!

[mightymads]

I was introduced to Baker Towers for the first time too and I loved it! Great concept and you wrote a wonderful story!

[scfrankles]

Congratulations to everyone for their creativity and for their sneakiness! (I have never been so confused...)

And thank you to the mods for all their hard work ^___^
