New Squee!

[neadods]

The flist squee for the new Sherlock Holmes has, if anything, understated how fabulous it is. Any good comm recommendations - fic, meta, newsletter?

Haven't watched it yet, but will be starting this evening, so will watch this thread with interest!

Was halfway through enjoying the hell out of the last episode and casually scanning the flist when my world got rocked, so am suddenly focusing on something else.

(But damn, this show does rock.)

Recs! Sherlock fandom is really, really active (and it's actually rather daunting given how dead DW fandom currently is). I do have a tendency to steer towards the slash fics (my first slash fandom! *gasp*) but there's some gen in there too.

Best comm: http://community.livejournal.com/sherlockbbc
Newsletter: http://community.livejournal.com/holmesian_news (It's for all generations of fandom, not just Sherlock)

Fic recs: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=dark_aegis&keyword=Holmes&filter=all (There's a smattering of RDJ's Sherlock Holmes fics in there, but it's mostly Sherlock)

Nothing wrong with RDJ Holmes! (Between that and this, I'm amazed and pleased that Watson is finally getting his due rather than getting the short end of the stick.)

And I've been a bit of a Holmes fan all along. I nabbed all the Holmes stuff when I worked with RtE.

Thank you for all the links!

I see you watched the last episode :) now do you understand my flailing post from last week?

Which reminds me, I should be working on fic. *g*

Bastards! Mo saw that coming but I didn't. No wonder people are desperate for a 2nd season!

But no Holmes fix for me until I write Rory's "Unchanging of the Guard."

It really is awesomesauce, isn't it?!

[neadods.livejournal.com]

OMG, amazing. So. Perfect.

God, yes! libraryofsol has two awesome fics so far, and I'm sure there will be more:

Thank you!

While they're a bit more general Holmes, with especial emphasis on the Canon, have you looked at the Hounds of the Internet or the WelcomeHolmes mailing lists? There has been discussion of Sherlock on both mailing lists the past month, though many members (as both are US-centric) have not yet seen the series.

The drabble community, Holmes100, has found new life since Sherlock debuted. If it's a quick Sherlock fic hit you need, it's there. :)

What I really need is the house done so I have time to play on the Internet, but drabbles I think I can fit in. Thanks!

Heh. I'm not much a Holmes fan, as I think you know from conversations about the BF audios, but I did enjoy this series.

(Although the first episode was by far the best, and really, if that's the real Moriarty (and not his kid brother trying to be clever and dangerous), then I shall be rather disappointed.)

[neadods.livejournal.com]

All I could think of was "No wonder that other kid made fun of him!"

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Exactly!!

As much as I enjoy this, I think it's a shame Cumerbund (what is his name again????) wasn't cast as the new Doctor.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I think I would have liked him more than Smith, but he's such a good Holmes that I'd hate to have missed this even in favor of Who.

In an unrelated note, answering LJ & email on a touch may be size-convenient, but thumb typing is hell!

Well, now my post on an older post of yours looks really stupid, doesn't it...?

[neadods.livejournal.com]

S'all right! :D
