Death and taxes?

ars_longa wrote in studyinsherlock Nov 09, 2010 09:31

I just saw a question in one of the Russian-speaking communities: did Sherlock Holmes pay taxes? And if yes, how much? All of a sudden I can't wait to see this question answered, because I absolutely can't remember that issue mentioned anywhere, starting from Baring-Gould and ending up with fanfiction. And if he, indeed, paid them, then how much ( Read more... )

Transportation

blighted_garden wrote in studyinsherlock Sep 27, 2010 17:16

How would transportation have worked back in the day? I'm writing a fic based on the 2009 movie verse, and I'm having trouble describing how Watson would have made it to Mycroft's country place. Basically, how would 'calling a cab' have worked? Did special organization need to be made if the cab was to go into the country/somewhere far out? Were ( Read more... )

Let's say for purely hypothetical reasons (fic), a certain Victorian gentleman would want to draw a bath while at home in the flat he shares with his (TOTALLY PLATONIC) consulting detective flatmate. And let's say hypothetically he lives upstairs ( Read more... )

Victorian medical information

Hello

I'm looking for someone at whom I can fire questions about Victorian medical psychological stuff. More precisely, the topic of melancholia (which I think was their term for depression).

Diagnosis, classification of different types of it, proposed treatments, that sort of thing.

It's true that there's a lot of literature out there on the Internet ( Read more... )

The context of 21st century Dr John Watson

This was crossposted to sherlockbbcDr Watson was without doubt a medical officer (MO) in the RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps). Looking at what this actually means for his character and the person he portrays in the BBC Sherlock series, can shed some light onto who he was, is, has become, and how he did or does what he does and how he might react in future ( Read more... )

Beta, please!

Hello! I was recommended this comm as a good place to find a beta. I have this fic: BBC Sherlock, PG at most, AU (based on this prompt-also an excerpt of it there if you're interested), and currently in the neighbourhood of 3,000 words.

I need a person other than myself to read it and tell me how it sucks, basically. It was meant to be a little ( Read more... )
