reading the language of bees, and sending cesario periodic txt messages as i progress:

prof_pangaea: Ha, I have been waiting for Crowley or some Golden Dawn knockoff to show up
cesario: I was honestly surprised she didnt just draft AC himself for a cameo
prof_pangaea: Holmes would have died of embarrassment
cesario: He coped tolerably well with LRK fellating the memory of TE Lawrence


I AM STILL READING SO NO SPOILERS PLS :D :D

now i shall go back to immersing myself in the massive gay subtext massive gay subtext. <3!

i have never done one of these, but today i decided to, possibly because i am insane or a masochist. the first lines meme, nicked from a good portion of the flist: take the first line of your last 20 stories and see what this says about your writing. i bent the rules slightly and post a bit more than one sentence in a couple of cases. one thing i definitely know it says is that i really need to finish more fic, since about 75% of the lines are from unfinished fics. sigh. i'll bold the ones that are actually done and posted anywhere at all.

( proof that i do actually *try* to write fanfiction under here )

oh man. well, i think this tells us that 01: i need better first sentences and 02: i should probably finish some of these things and get them off my harddrive.

Title: Inevitable
Author: professor pangaea
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes
Disclaimer: Mr. Holmes and the eminent Professor James Moriarty are now in the public domain, but of course I give ultimate credit and thanks for their existence to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Summary: The immutability of the autumn, the inevitability of the spring.
Notes: Written to cheer up eponymous_rose; she gave me the prompt "Holmes, Moriarty and a tree". Thanks to lizbee for looking it over.

As always, feedback and criticism are both welcome and cherished.

sherlock hound!



oh, if only this didn't already exist. i would love to make it.

i like to think of watson witnessing holmes' various behaviours and suddenly remembering, "i live with this guy."

this show really deserves a fandom all of its own. like the granada holmes series has, except without all of the wangst. ronald howard and h. marion crawford are the anti-wangst.




they don't even have a proper fansite! ;_______;

i think the time for hermitism is hopefully over.


to celebrate, recently discovered (by me) thoughts of douglas wilmer on playing holmes:

"I thought my portrait of Holmes was incomplete and in places inaccurate; too smooth, urbane, and civilised. I've developed it quite a bit since then, because I've realised that he is a much more primitive person, more savage and ruthless. He was a surprisingly unfashionable individual for a Victorian writer to portray, really -- completely unsentimental in a sentimental age."

he always has such interesting and insightful things to say on the subject; i wish his run on the bbc was available for viewing. hopefully i'm young enough that i'll actually get to see the time when all of the bbc's resources are made available for free on the web. that would be excellent.

Sub Rosa is site of the month over at the Baker Street Dozen!

I've really admired Charles Prepolec for a long time, so this is very nice.

Title: All Nature Is Our Satellite
Author: Professor Pangaea
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes
Disclaimer: Mr. Holmes is in the public domain, and I give thanks to both Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and to Henry David Thoreau for being such an inspiration to so many people, not least of all myself.
Notes: The text of Mr. Thoreau's journal entry used herein is not, unfortunately, from the fourteen volume 1906 edition published by Houghton Mifflin, but from the more recent Princeton edition. There are marked differences in punctuation in the two texts, but the words themselves are usually the same. Nevertheless, when and if I can locate a usable copy of the 1906 edition I shall be sure to emend the text of this story accordingly.

Especially as this story is unbetaed, feedback and criticism shall be much appreciated and cherished.

I finally got Locked Rooms from the library yesterday (there were many middle-aged women in line for the book before me, it seems), and finished it today. My (very brief) thoughts below, as I have to get ready for class. There will be more, OH SO MUCH MORE, when I have the time.

I need to go finish reading the decision in Marbury v. Madison now.
