BBC "Sherlock" Fanfiction for Canon Addicts
I couldn't find any mention of this here in the forum, so I present the collection for the benefit of those who are new to Sherlock fanfiction. I think it's a perfect starting point as the stories are all well-written and canon-compliant - no stretching of the imagination required.

The collection is interesting, thank you.
I just don't understand why you suggest "new" readers might need it. Stretching the imagination is not a problem for many people.

Re: BBC "Sherlock" Fanfiction for Canon Addicts
Well, I've enjoyed all the fanfiics that I've read from this collection so far. I just finished reading the two "Murder at the Ashram" stories by Boton and Jolie_Black, they were brilliantly funny! So clever... although I'll never get the hideous idea of Andercroft out of my mind... *shudder*

"Andercroft"...? If that is what I think it is, it would need a tremendous stretch of my imagination to make this work.

Read Murder at the Ashram and the sequel Murder at the Ashram Revisted, it's not quite what you're probably thinking...

Re: BBC "Sherlock" Fanfiction for Canon Addicts
Sorry, but if there is a trigger for me, it is not "Andercroft" but "Warstan".

Re: BBC "Sherlock" Fanfiction for Canon Addicts
Whatever it is out of the two of them: it's not Canon, that's for sure. Anderson shouldn't even be there in the first place if it's supposed to be canonical.

That is why Susi is a mod and we aren't, Schmiezi.

Re: BBC "Sherlock" Fanfiction for Canon Addicts
...
I just don't understand why you suggest "new" readers might need it. Stretching the imagination is not a problem for many people.
I thought that "old" readers would already have discovered it, probably long before me! And I may be oldfashioned, but when I am getting into a new fandom, I want more of what I saw on the show - otherwise I'd be reading something else entirely.
As for the Ashram-Stories: In order to get the joke, you'll have to read the authors' remarks. Or even better, start with the discussion to "Ground Rules" by GhyllWyne.
I wrote I'd skip Mycroft/Anderson only a few days ago, but I still read Murder at the Ashram with great enjoyment, because I knew it was a joke (and SolarSystem, have you actually read it? Isn't Anderson allowed to spend his holidays wherever he likes?) I did skip the story (elsewhere on AO3) which seemed to seriously imply Anderlock, though... (nope, didn't stay long enough to verify the facts, thank you very much. )
What is Warstan?
By the way, are there other Sherlock-collections on AO3 that would be good to know? I haven't found a way to search for collections, I only hit upon the Canon Addicts by chance (via a story I liked at that was in there).

Re: BBC "Sherlock" Fanfiction for Canon Addicts
Warstan stands for John Watson/Mary Morstan fics in which they are usually presented in a happy relationship. Not quite Canon-compliant, if you ask me.

What about Hudlock? That's a ship that makes me a little queasy.

Re: BBC "Sherlock" Fanfiction for Canon Addicts
Oh yes... *shuddershudder*
It's not exactly according to canon, as this thread was started, sorry Kitty, but has anyone read a nice Molly/Lestrade fic?
