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.

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.

Summary: "One of the most attractive things about the flowers is their beautiful reserve. The truly beautiful and noble puts its lover, as it were, at an infinite distance, while it attends him more strongly than ever." -- Henry David Thoreau

Summary for episode 3 of Cult Holmes:

When Holmes is shot at by a rifle from the future it's clear that something is very wrong with reality.

How right you are, BBC7.
