Well, the warning does not say "Don't read it!", it basically says "Only read it if you don't mind the mentioned topics".

I think it is only fair to let everyone decide for themselfes if they want to try it or not. For some people, child abuse does not have to be described in detail to trigger something.

I deliberately left the child abuse out of my last comment, because that would definitely have got a warning, since I know it can trigger people. All I said was that the level of violence otherwise isn't something that would have made me give a warning.
That said I appreciate that when it comes to descriptions of violence we have different thresholds for what we think is graphic/explicit. Mine is above what appears in this fic, that doesn't mean that it shouldn't carry a warning if others feel that it should, just that there isn't always a magic way of figuring out when to warn for it.

Maybe we should move the topic back to telling the unknown author what a wonderful job she (?) did. I'm right into Chapter 14 now and IMO Sherlock's emotions are depicted brilliantly.

 
I concur wholeheartedly. And I won't spoil things, but just wait till you get to the epilogue. Or should I say epiclogue because anon, this is very, very good .

You have a treat in wait for you Schmiezi .

Nova

Wow I was totally absorbed in reading and just had to finish it. It's beautifully written and I enjoyed it immensely. I would write more but it's 5 AM here Let me just say that it took me a good ten minutes but I solved the anagram! I'm so proud of myself

Nova

Wow, this was really good, lots of angst and gripping scenes. Mycroft's part in all this is really dubious although I understand his motives. The characterisation of Sherlock's distress and John's concern is very moving.  ​
Still working on the little extra, though.

I'm in the process of reading Nova but wanted to jump in on the "post it elsewhere" topic. AO3 has a "collections" process. If one of us creates a collection for them (I'm happy to do that) then we can all add them to the collection and they'll all be linked together that way.

 
I'm on AO3 and was going to do this, but if you want to create one please go ahead. I've never made a collection before and am slightly confused by the process.

Awesome! Just saw the list of who wrote what! 

Thank-you very much Ormond!!!  I really enjoyed the fic 

Okay. The list of the who wrote a fic for who is now up. I decided to put it at the end of the story thread, I don't know if that was what Kerkian planned to do, but it seemed as good a place as any.

I've also created a thread where we can put up the links if - when - we repost our stories. You can find it here: http://sherlock.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?pid=113283#p113283
I really hope everyone reposts because they were all so good they really should be spread to a wider readership.


I'm not sure I'm all that coherent right now, my mind is still stuck in "The Boss wrote my fic, The Boss wrote my fic" mode. And Boss it really was brilliant. Both you and Sherwing should write more detective stories if you don't already, you have a talent for it. Both "This time it's personal" and "Nova" is extrememly good.

Hehe, I understand that mode completely! When I got who I was writing for, I was pretty nervous as heck "I can't believe I'm writing the fic for the Boss!" eeek! 
And again, thank-you very much for the compliment!  I'm glad you enjoyed my story 
Everyone here did such a fantastic job! We should do this again!

Sherwing, where did you post your other fics? Because that cannot have been your first, and I really, really want to read more!

Well, it actually is my first completed fic.  I have a WIP that I started working on in October.

Thanks Wholocked once again for the awesome fic!

I will need some time now to figure out who wrote what ;-). Cheers to everyone, this was so much fun!
