Holmes and I have been involved in many adventures which are unlikely, for a variety of reasons, to see the light of publication.  Perhaps the most singular of these was the extraordinary case of the fiendish Norbury and the Giant Rat of Sumatra.  In that instance, we received aid from a most unexpected source at a moment when our situation was indeed dire, and the terrifying rodent was expertly dispatched by a remarkable feline that had once been the property of the cruel stepfather of one of our fair saviours.  

My friend Holmes has, in the past, described women as inscrutable and untrustworthy.  I have not heard him do so of late.

SH – :Pride 2025: Procreate on iPad Pro

Woo it's been a few months, my apologies, it's been such a nightmare for me, and I'm trying to get my FTH piece JUST RIGHT before I show it to the bidder, but I really wanted a break from that so I decided I would get my ass in gear and get a Pride piece done for this year!!

It's been awhile since I've drawn something Johnlock, but I knew I wanted to get y'all a pride piece of them for this year. Went through some of my old reference photos and found this one I liked, so slapped John and Sherlock on it :) Quite happy with how it turned out minus the background, but I'm never happy with those so I hope you guys will excuse that, hee hee.

Happy Pride Season, everyone, and I hope you like this one!

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

Yesterday, I finished a fic. Today, instead of editing said fic, I started writing a new one. Makes total sense, right?

This one has been haunting me for a while, and it is of course a fic inspired by a comment from my silver sibling. (More about that at a later date...)

Excerpt:

Returning home from the war was difficult to say the least. I was depressed and wanted to just off myself with my gun to get out of my misery. But that would be cowardice, and I didn’t want my name to be stained by that, so I soldiered on.

Meeting Mike Stamford took me by surprise. I’ve always liked him, though I wasn’t particularly keen on chatting that day. My session with my therapist had been a bad one. So bad in fact, I’d told her I wouldn’t come back. I was intent on leaving London. My pension didn’t allow me to stay anyway.

***

As per usual I lost myself in my head, and John didn’t know that about me yet. I had left my phone in my trouser pocket, and I didn’t wear a watch; it was still dark and late night, but how long I had stayed away from the bedroom – from John, I didn’t know.

The negligence of it hit me when I finally came back to myself, and I hurried to my room, but John was gone.
