I'd gladly take a look.

 
Thank you SH. I'll send you a PM? The two chapters are just finished so they are rough drafts. Would you like me to just include the phrases I am unsure of for slang or would you like to see them as a whole?

I think it is so cool that my kids are Whovians, and lovers of classic stories like Sherlock Holmes. So far Emily has shown that she has very similar likes to my own and that makes watching these shows more fun.

My oldest is also kind of obssessed with Dr. Who. She wants to go to Cardiff to this Dr. Who experience. It sounded like some sort of Dr. Who disney land. LOL Wish we could go. Oh well. 

Oh, yeah Em, could you please log off as you when you use my laptop. Now folks think you are asking for a beta! LOL

Hello there,
That post was not made by Emily. She must have been using my laptop to visit the site and I didn't realize I was logged in as her.
In any case that request for a beta is from me.

I read it, Alice I, and I like it very much. Good cliffhanger. Hope the next chapter's coming soon. 

Hi SusiGo, Thanks. Yeah I am still writing the last bit, but I essentially know what is going to happen. I probably should wait until I finish before posting, but I get so strung-out on a story idea sometimes that it commands all my spare time. Sounds weird to say it like that I know, but likening this to a drug addition is pretty accurate.

That is what this story is doing; mainly because the series caught me so strongly and I can not abide having nothing else of it to watch for a whole year! Unfortunately, I am just not capable of slapping something together and throwing it out there. It's like OCD or something. I have been over the first two bits that are posted minimally a dozen times and each time it changes, or gets tweaked. 

Anyway, thanks for reading, and I am pleased that you liked it. Once I finish the story, and I can concentrate on something else I plan to wander around the forum and enter in some discussions. If I can't watch the program, then at least I can talk about it with someone. God! I sound like a mental patient!

Thank you everyone for such a lovely warm welcome. I really should be off to bed, but as I said I am just a little bit obsessed with this Sherlock thing. 

I know if I try to sleep I won't be able to until I have finished writing the story. That's okay, there'll be time to sleep when I'm dead. LOL Who said that?


I actually have a question for anyone out there. Being from the US I naturally don't know all the British colloquialisms. I understand that a newspaper is sometimes called a daily but what would be the correct spelling of the plural? Dailys or Dailies? The other thing I wondered but didn't get an answer to from my other forum was this. Does the term fortnight still get used in Britain or is it just two weeks?

Hello fellow Sherlock fans.

I am new here. I'm from the US and I have fallen head over heels in love with BBC One's rendition of the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic tales of Sherlock Holmes.

I only started watching two weeks ago and it has become my new obsession. That being the case, after the last episode I could think of nothing else for a time. I needed to know: 

1. How did Sherlock do it? He fell, that was him, not some actor, or a robot, or an optical illusion, so how did he fall from the top of St. Bart's and survive?

2. He had to have had help. So who helped him and how did they help? How many players were involved in this elaborate ruse?

3. How can they continue with a third series unless they clear Sherlock's name? They can't, so that must mean that there was something set into the episode that would do just exactly that. 

4. Why was Moriarty not mentioned by anyone after Sherlock died? There were no accusations that Sherlock committed murder of the actor he hired before taking his own life. That would have been all over the headlines, not that the genius detective was a fraud and committed suicide.

5. We know Sherlock is alive, we know that Moriarty's people have instructions to kill his friends if he doesn't commit suicide. So how do we have him come back without putting John, Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade in jeopardy?

6. I almost forgot. There is one other aspect that needed to be answered. How would John react when he found out that Sherlock was not dead?

These are the points I have come up with solutions to. I wrote them all down in a little fan fiction called The Science of Deduction's 1st Student. I am finishing up the final chapter so it is not completely posted yet, but if you feel like it, take a peek and let me know if you think I am spot on or barking mad!

Once the final chapter goes up, I'll drop a little note to say so.

Thanks

Alice I

I guess I should go take a peek. I have started posting my Sherlock fic on fanfiction.net so I could just put a link up to point to it. 

If there are folks who agree or disagree with my theories as to "who done it" or in this case "How'd they do it"  then the discussion would be on the same thread the link is on?

I still have a few chapters to post on the other site. Should I just wait until it is completely posted to put up a link?

I am from (very chilly at the moment) upstate New York. I say ish with regard to my age because of something that happened last night actually. We are switching our life insurance policies and whe I was asked my age in years and months, the foolish program said I was incorrect about my age because of a variance of 1 day. So just to spite it I am now 48ish (thank you very much) 
Seriously these insurance companies are just ridiculous. 

I just went over to that section and saw that people were posting "links" to stories? I suppose I can do that. I do post stuff on a site called Fan Fiction dot net but I asumed that a forum of this style you would simply post the chapters right on the forum page. Is that incorrect?

Don't mind me if I seem a bit thick. It is past noon here and I haven't gone to bed yet. I work the night shift so this is like my 3 AM. LOL

Hello to anyone who is interested. I live in the US and found the show Sherlock on Netflix. I fell in love with it right away. I'm not surprised considering I am also a huge fan of Dr. Who and the writers are the same.

Series two left the viewer with a big fat puzzle to figure out. I like puzzles and I think I have got the whole thing pretty well pieced together as to how Sherlock survived, who helped him, and how there is irrefutable evidence that clears his besmirched name. 

I wrote up a little story that puts all my theories to the test. Of course the writers will probably come up with something completely different, but I still think I am very close to the mark on most of the points. Maybe I'll post it in the fiction section of the forum. See if anyone else has the same thoughts.

Oh right, I'm supposed to introduce myself, sorry.
I'm Alice. I'm a 48(ish) mother of three children. Writing is a hobby of mine. I am a radiologic technologist by profession. I love British television, or at least the stuff that makes its way over here. I suppose the UK has crap TV as well as we do. In any case I had seen that Sherlock was on Netflix and was recommended to me by Netflix based on my interest in Dr. Who and Primeval. I actually didn't really have much interest at first (period stuff not being one of my interests) and ended up only watching it one evening when I was not feeling well and just wanted to veg out. I figured, what the heck lets see if this is any good. The first thing I liked is that it is set in modern London and not Victorian London. As I said I am not very interested in period stuff. I don't like American films that take place back in the "old days" either.

Within ten minutes I was laughing out loud and saying that this show is brilliant! I have now hooked my kids 7, 12 and 15 on the show as well as my parents. I have seen all 6 episodes and now wish I had waited before watching, because I am not good at waiting long periods of time for the next bit to
