Thank-you! | |

| Comments: I have indulged myself for weeks reading the stories and novels on this site.Thank you for this wonderful website! I like the young and passionate and "bull pup"character of Watson in Prelude, I like the cleverly weaved plots and a sophisticated and morally-bound Watson in Could Fill A Book. But among all, I love the philosophical depth given to the character of Sherlock Holmes in A False Position. I like the way the story ends where it is now, leaving spaces for readers to digest and ponder within and beyond all the possiblity of love, intimacy and sexuality the story offers. | |

Who is Watson |
| Comments: They say that great authors write what they know, and I believe that in Doyle's case, this is true. Doyle studied medicine under Dr. Joseph Bell, even working as his assistant and based much of Holmes on him. Indeed, his deductive powers were so well known that Bell was called in to help investigate the Jack the Ripper case.
I think that, as he'd patterned Holmes from Bell, Doyle himself was the basis for Watson. There is even a strong physical resemblance to the Watson most of us picture, as seen in the sole film interveiw that Doyle made. They were both medical men, both writers, and both men of a sensitive and spiritual nature, who admired (and probably sometimes resented) their respective mentors. |

Prelude to a Partnership |
| Comments: Hey there,, wonderful, awesome Miss Cress! :)
I just found your website and am so very delighted about its topic. But before I indulge into this slashy Sherlockiana, I wanted to let you know one fact: your novel „Prelude to a Partnership“ is one of my most beloved favourite fics! I got me that e-book of yours some time last year and am happy to reread it every now and then. :) So, I'm going to ravish that website of yours. Btw: have you read “My dearest Holmes“ by Rohase Piercy? Thanks for your writing and everything you do for us poor shlashergirls! ;) |

Miss Roylott's 'Sacrilege!' |
| Comments: This fiction is absoloutley great, you can really feel the desoerate heat between Holmes and Watson as they experience eachother's bodies for the first time. I especially loved the line about the restraints being only symbolic and the characters are certainly as true to the book as they can be with such a plot. Thanks for sharing! | |

| Comments: This is such an amazing find. I started reading ACD's Sherlock Holmes books as a pre-teen, and always pictured Watson and Holmes as a couple. Now, as an adult, I've remembered that and started binge reading H/W fic voraciously. I have to say that this site is the best collection I've found, and it's awesome to see that it's actually still active, (unlike many other sites out there.)
Hell, I may even get back into writing fic and try my hand at some H/W! Thanks for keeping the site awesome. |

Susanna Shepherd's "Hidden Depths" |
| Comments: Oh, wow. First story here that I couldn't resist commenting on, but not simply for the quality--although that's apparent--but for the subject. Holmes's situation in this is heartbreaking. Not only are his affections unrequited, but he was put in the position where they're also consummated. Even for a 'calculating machine' such as Holmes, that play on his emotions must be incredibly painful. The story did not end as one would suspect, with Watson realising his passion for Holmes as the evening progresses; it ends as desperate as it began.
So! Kudos to Susanna on a heart-rending fic. Well done, indeed. |

I am not all fond of obscene or OOC H/W workings. I do enjoy quite extensive lemoning (as every slash fangirl should) though I am rather picky as to how they are written.

Madness |
| Comments: I love this sketch, and certainly hope you'll continue it. I'm also really glad you looked into asexuality, because it seems more probable that Holmes is just that. (That's always been my opinion anyway.) But, I hope you finish this one. I don't mind the typical "sexual" slash, but much prefer this kind. It is true that some asexuals still feel romantic/emotional love, I'm so glad you pointed this out! And I'm very excited to read about the implications of compromise which, as you said, are a huge obstacle in sexual/asexual pairings. Right now, I love how Holmes is so tender with Watson, it's absolutely endearing. All in all, I really like where this is going, and it serves as a good test for you to write about this topic in this situation (as it is sadly very neglected). I love it though, please continue! | |

specific: Cress's sketch, dressmaking |
| Comments: Personally I encourage the incorporation into the proposed rewrite. The original plot alone does stand on its own but it leaves the reader wanting; it doesn't shine as pretty as it could. A full week of crossdressing for the plot to develop would add that shine and allow for a more natural feel to the end result of the proposed consummation.
Altogether I am impressed and delighted with the overall idea. It makes sense for Holmes to perfect at least one feminine disguise for his repertoire. I look forward to any rewrite that may come of this sketch. |

"Marrying Mary" Commentary |
| Comments: I was reading through the comments that were copied from the guestbook, and you mentioned the Holmes does say "What's up?" somewhere. I don't know about A Study in Scarlet (I haven't had the chance to read it yet), but in The Noble Bachelor, he says "What's up?" when he's talking to Lestrade:
Quote: "'What's up, then?' asked Holmes, with a twinkle in his eye. 'You look dissatisfied.'" I don't know if that's what you were thinking of, but I thought I should mention it. That, and what I won't make into long bubbly gushing about how much I adore your writings. :) |

"Prelude" story |
| Comments: I would just like to say how well written this fic-series was. At first I was a bit apprehensive when the affair-at-the-university idea was introduced, but the characters were perfectly maintained and I soon began to enjoy the story immensely :) also, must express my glee (!) over a well-done trans character! The problem with trans characters is that they are usually badly done or the focus of the entire fic. That Rose was not really a main theme but still a good character was a pleasant surprise. And you got the pronouns right!
Anyway, now I must go away and mourn the fact that I haven't got my own loving Holmes or Watson! |

Susanna Shepard's "Hidden Depths" |
| Comments: I've read this before and liked it, but wanted to comment because recent events have given me more of an appreciation for good writing when I see it. This is so solidly good - excellent Watson voice, every detail follows through and keeps the mood perfect. Such a sad ending for Holmes, but, well... they're still friends, which is what counts for him, I think. | |

I do have one question. Ever heard of Thundertori, also known as Yayoi Neko? She has some lovely art both on DeviantArt and on Y-Gallery, though you must be a member on Y-Gallery to view her art. She also has a Sherlock Holmes doujinshi she made recently. Hope you find some way to use this information! Thanks again for all the great stuff on the site.
