Ah ... I see. Well a plot would be fine.

SusiGo · May 20, 2014 12:34 pm

Yes. I prefer those as well.

SolarSystem · May 20, 2014 12:35 pm

I don't.

Harriet · May 20, 2014 12:37 pm

Back to topic, ladies!

gently69 · May 20, 2014 12:39 pm

What about this then?

SusiGo · May 20, 2014 12:39 pm

Yes. Any interesting theories or metas? Nice quotes from ACD about chestnut trees in spring?

SusiGo · May 20, 2014 12:40 pm

Sorry - cross. This is just what I want to see, gently.

SolarSystem · May 20, 2014 12:43 pm

But I'm sorry, I don't have a theory concerning that pic. It just breaks my heart, that's all.

How it should have been ... the airfield scene.

But imagine the heartbreak of both of them, if they would finally show their true emotions to one another in this scene. The scene where they are parted. Again. The scene where SH knows he's going away and probably will die within 6 months (as MH says at x-mas dinner)...It had only led to another RBF moment i believe

I hope I'm not messing up to much with my language barrier here and that you can understand what I want to say

I'm absolutely fine with your language skills. I have the same problem ... if it really is one.

Question is: Did John realise that Sherlock is going to die during that mission? Sherlock put it in different way like Mycroft did to him.

Great to hear

No I don't think John knew what would happen. But still...telling someone you love them and to hear it back just minutes before you are parted for God knows how long... Okey maybe it's more heartbreaking for me as a viewer who knows SH intentions. ;)

You are playing games with me. Young gently? I am far away from being a kid. And just a teensy bit disappointed.

I only meant that you are a "young johnlocker" sweetie.

Topic. Oh, yea. Johlock is totally real.

gently69 · May 20, 2014 1:58 pm

Okay, tonnaree.

Found that in the Fan Mockups thread. Shouldn't it been posted here?

This is a long one but I think it's worth reading. Feeeels!

Plot What Plot? = fanfics which concentrate on the physical side of things (wink, wink) instead of telling a story.

And they're rare. Even when an author labels her fic as PWP, it's very very hard to completely keep any plot out of a story. I can count on the fingers of one hand the true PWPs I've found-- almost always, some plot sneaks in there.

That's okay, you don't have to spell it pron, lol. Sex isn't necessarily porn. A whole lot of people think all M-rated slash fic is porn, but very very little of it is. And anyway, I like the word explicit better, don't you?

Sorry, we're off topic. I'm just peeking out of my cave at y'all this morning, but I'll go back in soon.

A fix for my dreaded, hated airport scene! Yay!

I was just explaining the particular abbreviation. Otherwise the name PWP would be SWP or EWP, wouldn't it?

SusiGo · May 20, 2014 6:24 pm

There is a very big difference between pwp and an explicit fic with an elaborate plot. Silent Auror is a very good example. And the stories should be tagged accordingly.
