Great paper! The thought that what really concerns John is the possible fluidness of his sexuality has rarely occurred to me. The same is true of Sherlock (in going from asexual to sexual) but that is more obvious since it is explored in ASiB.
My only concern with the paper (sorry, the teacher in me won't shut up) is a lack of objective identifiers for Moriarty's "gayness" from outside sources. But again, an excellent read - thank you for sharing.

thank you.

I'm very aware of what you mean with Moriarty, but unfortunately that page limit on my paper requirement did not allow me to go into the detail I wanted. I probably could have written twenty pages on Sherlock and Moriarty's relationship, let alone all the rest of it!

Interesting! I'm jealous you were able to write about such an interesting topic for a paper! If only you didn't have a page limit! I would have loved to see an extensive version haha! Hope you receive a good grade for this.

A great read! I can't wait for an opportunity to write an essay on my topic of choice. I'd pick Sherlock without a second's hesitation lol.

It was a lot of fun to write, but I wish I could have expanded on it a little more. I found myself writing whole paragraphs that had to be deleted because of the page limit.
