Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014

I am sure that the writer of the last fic is sorry for the delay. It was not finished by yesterday morning (European yesterday morning, that is. By the time it was, it was night again here, so yes, I couldn't post it myself.

Soooo, now that all fics are out, am I supposed to post a list with the title of the fic and its writer? I will open a group on AO3 later and post the link here.

Anybody needs an invitation to AO3, BTW? I still have links left.

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014

How about waiting with revelation for another day or two? I am very curious as well but the last two fics are quite long and I suppose many haven't read them yet (I am in the middle of Variations on a Classic Theme at the moment, fabulous fic by the way!).

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014

That's a good idea, stoertebeker. That way everybody can catch up before everything will be revealed.

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014

I have to read a lot on my phone at the moment, which is so hard in this format with these big stories I have just about given up. Can't wait to read them on a03 though! So I'm voting for the big reveal sooner rather than later so I can read the last two properly, and also I'll admit I'm just really curious now!

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014

Variations on a Classic Theme

I am once again speechless with awe. This is (among many others) again a fic where I am so sorry that I won't be able to express my thoughts probably in English. But I'll try my best.
The story hooked me right away. Although, I must admit, I was a bit uncertain about the script format first. But all the wonderful and detailed descriptions of the scene settings, the appearance or demeanour of the characters made this format very dynamic and vivid. I had a very clear image in my mind while reading the plot, like a movie playing in my head 
Besides the fantastic story itself (a well constructed case fic with very clever written deductions) I very much liked all the characters in the story. I enjoyed a young Sherlock who already has a lot of the excentric behaviour we know from the series but who also is in some ways just a normal student. I read a lot of teen- or uni-lock stories where Sherlock is described as a sad and bullied outsider. That isn't the case here and I am glad for it. I liked the character of Violet very much, especially the scene between her and Sherlock in the hallway after the conversation with the headmaster was wonderful. I felt very sorry for the poor girl and I am glad, that Sherlock finally understood her. Victor was a fabulous character as well who was in some way a similar genius like Sherlock himself (I liked the idea that Sherlock wasn't able to beat him in chess ). The end of the story was so bittersweet, I honestly had tears in my eyes, knowing that Sherlock had lost a good friend with Victor (the rooftop scene between the boys was touching!). But on the other hand he has John now and their friendship being on a deeper and more mature level.
Thank you very much, yet unkown author, for this jewel of a story! I hope we'll read more of this kind from you

I haven't managed to read the last story yet. I finished the prologue and that was already very promising I hope, I will be able to read the rest tomorrow and leave a comment on that one too.

Re: Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2014



This is for you, nakahara.  Not just for reading the fics and leaving such lovely and thoughtful comments - no, you also created all the jokes for the days in between! I think you deserve a big thank you from all of us. This was really wonderful.

Thank you so much, Susi. 
I´ll treasure this beautiful bouqet from you and your kind words. They are both so beautiful.

And a big big big big group hug and "Thank you" to Schmiezi, our host, for doing a wonderful job!
It was such a lovely experience and I'm sure I was not the only one to be super nervous with virtual stage fever at the beginning. Everybody was very kind and I have to say it was a lovely experience.

From Dusk til Dawn

I loved it! It felt believable, I loved how you portrayed them. The last scenes in 221B was so heartwarming and loving, a good way to write fluff without becoming too pink and unicorn-y.
