Ooh, SO cool. This gives me the same visceral thrill I get from reading the Griffin and Sabine books. Plus, Snarky!Holmes! What's not to love?

Your icon rates two thumbs up!!

dude.

just, dude.

I mean, you described it to me, and I knew it *sounded* cool, but I had no idea.

That is the awesomest, most beautiful fannish endeavor I have ever seen. It blows bloody shoebox_project out of the water.

Have you begun inquiries for having this professionally published? I am not even kidding.

I would write more but I have to go away now and REC THIS EVERYWHERE OMG.

Wow, that is nice to see. It was also nice, though vaguely insane, to come back here an hour and a half after I posted and find nine comments already, when I hadn't even posted it to any communities yet. Which I shall be doing presently (I was recording The Further Adventures on BBC7, and I like to give a fic post a little time before I post it into any communities, so that I can more easily find errors and fix them before showing it to the wider world).

That was a long way of saying, Yes, I was going to finally post something in gaslight_fic.

Actually, as I probably used images owned by someone, somewhere for this, I doubt I can get this professionally published. Although, if I do, I would like to put it into an issue of my comic book. That should be under the radar enough to avoid the litigation machine, and then it will be in an art context and I can say -- "I was just appropriating imagery that has permeated the public consciousness, much the way the fictional character Sherlock Holmes has permeated the public consciousness and become something different, more alive, an icon and a symbol..." and then they will all fall asleep and I will escape out of the window.

Er, I must point out that I do not have twenty-something chapters of this, so a comparison to Shoebox is probably not deserved. But it is certainly warmly appreciated, especially coming from such a distinguished source. Thanks so much!

Wow! Totally and completely cool! It's like real history! Uh, not that I didn't already think it was real history...but you know what I mean.

And just...wow! I

PROF PANGEA,

A MOST INTELLIGENT AND BEAUTIFUL WORK STOP MIND BLOWN STOP HUMOR AND DETAILS EXCELLENT STOP WIDESPREAD PRAISE BOTH CERTAIN AND DESERVED STOP

GRATEFULLY, M

Kudos! Great work!

Directed here by cesario and I'm ever so glad.

This is an absolutely wonderful thing. Marvellous. Thanks so much for the huge effort - it's really appreciated.

Mycroft's relief and then anxiousness comes through so very clearly. And that "No"...like the ominous tolling of a bell...

And the white space, which brought me to tears.

This is extraordinary. Bravo, Professor.

Great work, Professor!! :D

Exceptionally enjoyable ...sheer class! :D

Bloody brilliant! It took f o r e v e r to download on my elderly computer (and I'm not sure I have all of it yet), but well worth the wait!

Awesome. Thank you for creating it.

Uh wow! This is seriously the most creative piece of fanwriting I have ever seen. The idea is brilliant, and it's beautifully done. Just gorgeous *admires you very much*

Bloody brilliant.

I know that one of the comments you leave when it comes to other people's fan works is that people should do, not describe. So this is a tour de force.

I especially like "have you heard that your doctor has been publishing stories in which he refers to a recently deceased friend as though he were still alive query they really are rather good."

I am glad that it worked. It took quite a bit of grappling to make it "do" and not "wander about without clear purpose and then sort of just fade away without making any sort of point".

Mycroft is a bit of a bastard. ^_^

I enjoyed this very much-- it must have been a tremendous amount of work to find the images you used. Brava.

Creative and engaging -- I thoroughly enjoyed this!

.....wow.

It's taking all my willpower not to ask you how you did that. That was amazing.

Thank you.

And the answer is: Photoshop and enormous amounts of patience. Plus, a little bit of eyestrain.

Absolutely brilliant. Just brilliant. I've never seen anything like this done before - as another of your commentators said, it reminds me of the Griffin and Sabine books, but I find I like your version better. :)

Now that is a beautiful piece of work! You've given us insight into SH's quirky character - more, please!

Wow. Original and brilliantly done.

You are truly amazing! This is SO great. Thanks for sharing.

Omg, this is like Shoebox gone Sherlock Holmes!!!! This is awesome!!! I hope u do more work like this in the future!!

This is great, great stuff. Their voices are wonderful and the telegrams are absolutely amazing. Very well done. :)

I loved this.

Awww, very nice work! Eternal download, but is was soo worth it!

Love the original touch. Thanks for all your work!
