Oh, that’s clever. Is it clever? Why is it clever?

It's clever because it's written by you, and you are becoming increasingly brilliant in your genius twists. Sherlock is Khan! That's an amazing idea! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this.

Ow, thank you, but your praise is undeserved this time. Sherlock is Khan in all crossovers I have come upon so far. It's a kind of a meme, it seems. They usually have John in one of the torpedoes too, well, I don't have him there and that's probably my only cleverness in this case:)

Thank you for contributing to the cause of cumberbatchiosis by leaving a comment and encouraging this brilliant, wonderful author to post the new chapter as soon as possible. :)

Oh, I will always encourage danlef - her story ideas are brilliant!

Oh, wow, this is just perfect... And actually it's the first crossover I've read.

danlef June 6 2013, 15:20:56 UTC

Really? I've read two or three already. Fandom works fast:)

I tend to avoide them... Have seen them pop up left right and centre...

Although, when in the movies watching the scene where he crashes the ship mum whispered "Get the feeling he's pissed because they blew up Jawn?"
"He not in this movie, mum."
"No, he's off having an adventure in Middle-Earth... But Khan doesn't know that!"

First time I learnt my mum is into fandoms and she's a Johnlock shipper.

I envy you your mum. Seriously.

Brilliant idea is brilliant and fabulously executed. So glad you are continuing to write :) Off to read Chpt 2 now!

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Finally saw the STiD movie. I think I'll have to re-watch to get it more, (different kind of movie from the humorous first installment - I didn't see any other ST movies and only few of early ST episodes that bored me to death), but:

1) Benedict Cumberbatch is The Villain that you hope will be redeemed

2) Your portrayal of him is marvelous. He is Khan Noonien Singh from the movie. He is a shell and a core of Sherlock Holmes the BBC version. He lost the soft stuffing that was able to embrace the friendship of John, he gained a nanofiber high-resilience stuffing that makes him Khan, powerful, intelligent, with his own ends as his only motivation, ruthlessly taking advantage of feelings of people.

Off to read the rest!

I love this comment. Would you mind if I use the nanofiber-stuffing bit somewhere in the story? It's marvelous.

Re: Hell Yeah! saschia June 16 2013, 08:48:40 UTC

I am quite proud of that comment, so yes, use it however much you want :)

Re: Hell Yeah! danlef June 16 2013, 18:35:38 UTC

Actually, it's funny that you who saw the movie find my portrayal of Khan true to the movie version, which I haven't seen yet. I pictured him out of the "I can give you 72, and they're all aboard your ship" clip that is available on youtube. And then, of course, from my apprehension of what a good redeemable villain should be like.
