"Sherly"...?! Oh please, thank god I've never come across that nick until now. But then again I guess I haven't read as much fic as most of you until now.

I've also seen Mycroft refered to as "Myc", pronounced Mike.  Nicknames just don't work for some people.

Well I didn't want to say, cos she's a lovely girl who some others may also follow on twitter.
But she had this thing of calling Bendict ' boo' or even worse' boo bear'.
So she felt my warth and she really does try not to now!
Tho we still get the irksome 'benny' from many.

I do not want to disturb the nickname discussion but before I forget this - what about the myth of Sherlock's Egyption cotton sheets? Does anyone know where this comes from or is it just wishful thinking? 

Don't know if it's been officially mentioned anywhere but considering the suits he wears most people must assume he'd have some very fine sheets.  

Can anyone help me with a rather troublesome problem?
There is life outside of Sherlock fanfic.  I know, I used to live there. Now, I'll deprive myself of an hour or more of sleep when I've only got 6 hours at most to sleep between double shifts. Food is an energy bar, or well, I can eat later.

What is this "outside" you speak of?  It sounds cold and lonely.

I think I used to know this thing, too. Can hardly remember it now...



My (ongoing) list of "Things I've learned from Sherlock fanfiction":

Mycroft can do anything. No wait, actually he is the Master of the Universe. He also lives in an expensive, large town house, preferably with staff who are at his beck and call.

At some point, someone will "release a breath they hadn't realized they were holding"

Sherlock can truly deduce anything from anyone (unless the storyline requires otherwise).

Likewise, John never shoots and misses.

Thanks, Wholocked, following you now. You could add a Johnlock list with all our finds about scar appreciation, etc.

Haha yes I should! I have noticed many commonalities but never thought to keep a lit. Perhaps I should. Call it "Things to avoid when writing Johnlock" lol

I'm now following you, too. And yes, please write that "What to avoid"-list. I would love to write a fanfic avoiding each and everything on that list!
