Probably the world's least original meta about Mycroft
Mycroft: I've never been very good with them.
Sherlock: Babies?
Mycroft: Humans.
~ + ~
Ah, Mycroft's version of "high-functioning sociopath". Well, I call time on this. Because there's no way he got to where he is today without being very good with people. Not nice (no one with eyes, ears, or brains could ever consider Mycroft nice), but he has ( Read more... ) -
My brain has a mind of its own (stupid thing)
I need to find a way to give myself permission to not be able to write right now. Unfortunately, being a performance- and goal-oriented person, this is really not working for me.
It's been a month since I finished Murder and the rat part of my brain is getting antsy. Why aren't you writing, you stupid, lazy cow? it keeps demanding, over and over ( Read more... ) -
The Six Thatchers - reaction thoughts (spoilers ahoy!)
After two viewings, some semi-coherent thoughts are bubbling to the surface of the old brain box. It's still way too early for anything really analytical, but first impression are that this episode isn't going to support much analysis anyway.

Good-bye 2016, hello S4
So we come to the end of what has been quite a year for me, fandom-wise. I wrote just over 160,000 words of fic this year, which is something I'll never do again, at least not in this fandom.

This is why she wins all the prizes
Me this morning: bummed out and avoiding working on the ending of UT, tired of the fucking thing eating my brain and my free time and getting nowhere, tired of the knowledge that no matter how many times and ways I try to fix it, it’s still thoroughly and inescapably fucked up. So instead of being A Good Girl and With Her Nose to the Grindstone, I ( Read more... ) -
Well, that was a...thing.
So, I'm back from the my first Sherlock Holmes con. While it wasn't a Sherlock con, the large majority of people there were BBC Sherlock fans ( Read more... ) -
Con. Writing. Life
So, I've finally sorted out my travel and accommodation arrangements for the Sherlock con in Seattle in a few weeks. I'm actually starting to look forward to the trip. I haven't been on a trip that doesn't involve family commitments for three years, so that should be something. I've seen the programming list for the con and there's very little I'm ( Read more... ) -
