Lots o' Links (all SFW)

[neadods]

Ordinarily I'd split the links into "Sherlock" and "Not Sherlock" but... I gotta lotta links and WTF, I want to start the upcoming week with a clean linkdump slate. So click your fancy out of the list below.

Above the cut for awesomeness (I'd give credit to an LJ name, but I think you're off LJ? Correct me if wrong.) Anyway, a very cool person has links for online classes.

SHERLOCK:

I don't actually think this cartoon looks much like them, but the joy in it makes me smile

Some Lickable Lestrade Love

Scroll down on this macro to see all of the OMG-they're-so-young! photos of the cast. Although Anderson looks surprisingly sexy in his medieval duds.

I find this cartoon of young Sherlock & Mycroft mesmerizingly adorable

Nice "Mrs. Hudson has surprising depths" fic: With Trembling Hands

Although this is technically an Elementary post, it's above the cut because it's more Holmesverse than anything. "Exactly how much can you change of Sherlock’s world before your programme is nothing more than a crime drama that features someone by the name of Sherlock Holmes?"

ELEMENTARY:
Somwhere between a PR and a candid shot. I don't think I've ever seen Lucy Liu laughing before.

Cartoon. *That* look I've seen on Lucy!

Lucy Liu: 'It's nice to play an Asian-American without an accent'

Metaquotes linked to a scientific explanation for yarn stash

DEPRESSION LINK
The Bloggess had a post for suicide prevention day sharing how she gets through the worst of the depression and asking for people to tell her how they cope. There are over 600 responses. TRIGGER WARNING: lots of discussion of suicide and depression
http://thebloggess.com/2012/09/today-and-forever/

Actually, I think everybody in the world needs to go read answer 31.

Also a worthwhile read: Kat Kinsman's Going Public With Depression

WINE SALT RUB
The NY Times had an article and recipe on making wine salt to use as a combination marinade and brine

Thanks for the learning links.

The new Mary Russell hardback is on the WashPost hardback fiction bestseller list, so plenty of people disagree with us about that series....

Different strokes, which is also going to be said about Elementary. I've seen the bootleg, and still wish they'd just done an original show with original names and the occasional homage.

I am not at all surprised that the Spider Robinson quote showed up within 20 comments on that depression article.

Re Elementary, I think the question people are asking is, "How far away can an AU story get from the original without losing its sense of connection to the original?" And the answer to that is likely to be different for every reader or viewer.

And the answer to that is likely to be different for every reader or viewer.

Not to mention how much they care about the original... people who aren't fannish about canon are less likely to feel a connection to the original in the first place.

for some reason the link to the metaquotes about yarn stashes was denied. I 'watched' the community, but it still wouldn't come up

[neadods.livejournal.com]

How odd... the metaquotes (an open comm) post was locked. However, the comment being quoted is not:

Thanks. That's why I have so much wrong yarn in my stash. ;)
