I shamelessly used ideas of dear librarianmum for my plot holes)))
Title: My life with Holmes Author: Lenap Beta: librarianmum http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2774710/ Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson Pairing: domSherlock\ subJohn Rating: R for this chapter Status: 3.1\9 Warnings: AU!, spoilers to 1 season part 1 part 2
how strange, what happened here? there's this cut in the middle of the chapter from john and sherlock to john watson and holmes, very weird, like you skipped universes, i am not sure i want to continue reading, will you go back to the way it was?
ok, it's kind of happened in the Sherlock Holmes Fandom that Sherlock and John are the BBC versions while Holmes and Watson are the movie or book names they use
maybe you have not noticed it, but during the whole first part of the text you use their names and then you suddenly slip completely into calling them by their surname
it's like a break in the flow of the story, seems very strange to readers even if you are not a big Sherlock Fandom reader, them and you as an author switching to different names is surprising
