You are the best person ever. Just saying. Downloading the hell out of this so I can take it with me to my work shift in a moment.

[revolutionaryjo]

AHHHH. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. YOU HAVE TO DO MORE. YOU HAVE TO.

I gigglesnorted at how wonderfully indignant your Queen of Bohemia is.

[lunchy_munchy]

Alas! If only I could do a German accent to really do her justice!

I'm so happy you liked it! Hurrayyyyyy!!! The rest of this tale is forthcoming, definitely :D I thought this one would be the most fun to do genderswapped (and it is totally fun :D ) but after this, I wonder what other Holmes Adventures might be fun to gender swap? Should I do all of them, or select cases?

[revolutionaryjo]

Hmmm, I would say Sign of the Four because genderswapped Mary Morstan would be fun, but it's not worth all the horrendous racism. Also, it's very long.

Maybe the Blue Carbuncle? No real reason. I just have a major soft spot for that story. Or The Greek Interpreter! I love that one. It's gor the first appearance of Mycroft too.

For your sanity, I'd say stick to the shorter stories.

... Unless you'd want to do Hound of the Baskervilles, of course. Because that would be amazing.

You're not the only one pleased about them hiring Lucy, although I'm not as pumped about casting Asians in general, I just adore Lucy. And I will definitely be downloading any of the canon stories you swap.

Being of asian descent myself, I LOVE asian representation on TV. That corporal extra in The Hound of Baskerville? YEEEEEEESSSSSSS! H50 especially makes me hella happy it exists, even though I don't watch it myself. Lucy Liu is the first Asian woman I remember seeing on TV, and not only that, she was a kick ass lawyer!

I'm pretty much all the way done recording Scandal in Bohemia, so this at least will have follow through! As for other canon stories, I think I need a Sherlock buff to point me in the direction of the tales that might be the most interesting to gender swap...

I actually best loved Lucy in Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever (terrible movie that I adores!). She kicked so much ass it was amazing. So beautiful and so deadly.

I asked a friend of mine (huge Sherlock canon fan), and she suggested "The Illustrious Client" would be interesting with female leads.

[lunchy_munchy]

thanks so much for the suggestion! I'm going to try to clear a few of my to-do podfics before coming back and working more on the genderswapped cases, but the full version of this shall be up soon, hurray!

I haven't seen that movie myself, but women kicking ass in any context is okay in my book :)

[cantarina1]

Yesssssss to all of this :D

[lunchy_munchy]

hee hee, as I was doing this I thought, "if no one else, Ca'rina will probably get a kick out of this!" :D

[cantarina1]

My affection for the ladies is well known.
