The two by Awanderingbard were both about alcohol and intoxication rather than ratiocination and deduction. I doubt if either could be selected for an anthology of best Sherlock Holmes stories. <br />I will wait to see what Brad can offer but I really think it best to avoid AO3. I am about to start the new Mary Russell book and see if I can get a bootleg copy of Mr. Holmes before the US release in July.Richard Sveumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104211385064057935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-65946667668987625632015-05-10T04:06:26.348-05:002015-05-10T04:06:26.348-05:00If any one decides to follow my recs and read one ...If any one decides to follow my recs and read one of these, it would be nice, if you'd let me know how you liked them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066417080920042579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-54116500634285949352015-05-08T07:41:15.598-05:002015-05-08T07:41:15.598-05:00Oh, may I?

I believe you'd classify me as a pre-Cumberbatcher. I'm not yet convinced about fan fiction at this volume is good. Since we pre-C have lived through a lot of bad pastiches and now are hit with MX publishing with low standards. Since anybody can post fan fiction I assume there is some awful stuff mixed with good. Reminds be of the 1950's Mystery Magazine era. Then somebody systematically selected the masterpieces for anthologies moving the stories into a more permanent format. Other than other fan recommendations do you think the good writing will emerge into some readable for me like a book?<br />Do you have one fan fiction author that you can recommend to me to sample?Richard Sveumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682153810620384840noreply@blogger.com
