Holmesian Goodness!

Soon I'll be out the door and joining friends to watch Sherlock Holmes! *squees* It's my second viewing so I'm sure I'll pick up a lot I missed the first time around. I might actually write a review this time, LOL!

Anyway, I find the fandom lively and fun and there's lots of new stuff to read and view! I wrote a short piece but haven't been satisfied with it. Oh, well. We'll see how that goes. :)

*sighs* LJ is so quiet! I've either lost readers or people haven't had time to comment! Anyway, you'll still be inflicted with my weirdness as I'm making progress on the Public Enemies/Shutter Island crossover, and there's quite a few bunnies hopping around post-Easter! ;)

Ta-ta, luvs!

I really loved Sherlock Holmes and I'm going to pick up the DVD soon. It's such a fun movie and I've read some great stories for it. The only thing that bothers me is that many fans seem so determined to have Holmes and Watson together that they write poor Mary as a controlling shrew or even as outright evil.

Never mind that she's a canon character, it just annoys me because a good writer would find some way to have the two of them together without degenerating one of the few female characters. I don't even care about pairings as long as the story is interesting but I'm losing interest in reading fanfics that take that route.

That seems to be a pattern in slash fandom, but you can always find other stories that don't treat the female characters badly.

I've read plenty of good ones that respect her character. One of the best I ever read was a threesome! :)

And you tease us with no link or other information! Very mean. :(

I don't suppose you might rectify it? Also anything else you'd recommend?

Thank you in advance if it's possible. :)
