Thank you for not drawing out that particular bit of angst. Rather loving the Shippers-on-deck, as well. :) You're also doing a rather brilliant job of lampooning the cult of celebrity, which I approve of. For as mad as it gets inside fandom, I am so utterly fed up with the notion that large amounts of supposedly legitimate news is given up to gossip and scandal in the celebrity realm. Half the time I think the fandom wank is validated by the tabloid culture we've wound up with.
Which is by way of saying: I think you know your way around satire exceedingly well and were you to write and publish an original work of same, I think it might do well. Look at The Devil Wears Prada.

I wondered if everyone assumed I'd be keeping them apart until chapter 11 and would be pleasantly surprised. No, I never wanted to drag it out too much.

Seeing that you had updated this made my afternoon.

Sherlock watching all of John's terrible romcoms is priceless. And the scene when Sherlock finds John in his dressing room - so heartachingly sweet.

Sitting here with hearts in my eyes...
