Yeah, that sounds like someone who came to the table looking to grind that particular axe.

Occasional? As you know, when I get into a pedantic rage black out, my hands fly all around and my eyebrows are all over the map. I'm very animated in my irritation.

I should work it into an exercise routine...

(I also feel the pedantic need to point out that the parts of the plot directly lifted from ASiB ended with Sherlock drugged, defeated, and in bed. For the record.)

Obviously. Wait...are people not getting this?

One of my favorite games to play with Sherlock is "canon". It's a simple game: you say, "canon" when something is lifted directly (or near enough) from the Doyle. This is one of those "other people aren't like us" things, isn't it?

I was savoring the image of you in a slow burn - perhaps in a SH fanfic involving Irene Adler at a horse race. You'd get to a passage that tangled poor Victorian research, a complete absence of any knowledge of horse anatomy, wrong-headed reading of the original text, and white-het privilege into a ghastly knot of spelling errors. Then you reach the section on Scottish history that conflated Scotch with Bourbon and your eyebrows would knit together so fiercely that your brain would lock up as sputtering noises started to erupt from you as it became impossible to prioritize what needed yelling at first.

This is what I do for fun.

Yeah, but that's ok. Totally worth a mental wound.

Ahahaha. Yeah, generally, if I'm reading ACD canon stories, I'm reading stuff that I'd be ashamed to admit I'm reading. *cough* (Look, there are sections of it that line up with my collection of a certain type of Victorian and Edwardian book.)

If I'm reading BBC stories, I'm most like to fly off the handle at people who assume that a cocaine overdose is just like a heroin one. Poor drug research is my biggest irritation there.

t raises eyebrow Given what you admit to reading (and writing), I find this hard to believe.

a certain type of Victorian and Edwardian book.

Would the author be "Anonymous"? Would the most famous title be the nacreous byproduct of a bivalve's irritation?

Oh, there's a LOT of stuff I don't admit to reading. Or writing.
