Good Sherlock Metas?

Has anyone read any good Sherlock metas? I honestly don't care about the topic (Johnlock conspiracy, Mary, Reichenbach theories, etc, I'm good with anything), but I just want something to get me thinking. I know loudest-subtext-on-television on tumblr had some good ones but their blog is down and I have no idea how to find them now...

Additionally, any suggestions on how to write good Sherlock metas would be extremely helpful 

Thanks!

P.S. I am moving the topic to our General Discussion.

... but there may be some new players now. It’s okay. The East Wind takes us all in the end.

Re: Good Sherlock Metas?

These are all so good! I'm hopefully going to start writing some of my own soon, these really helped me figure out where to start.

Thanks a ton!

Re: Good Sherlock Metas?

You might like this: http://multifandom-madnesss.tumblr.com/meta+makers  It's about some of the meta writers, their writing process, their thoughts on the fandom, etc. (Sadly, not everybody is still around).  It might be particularly interesting if you're thinking of writing your own metas, but it's a good read either way!

And by the same person, this: http://multifandom-madnesss.tumblr.com/meta is quite a useful reference if there's anything you want to look up.

Re: Good Sherlock Metas?

I have been able to read loudest-subtext-in-television's work via the WayBack Machine Internet Archive.  Some of the entries weren't preserved, but you can read most of her work there.  It's a shame she was driven from the fandom.  Here's a master list of her metas:

Ahh! Thank you!!!! I've been searching for a copy of her metas!


Additionally, I found another tumblr account with some nice ones, in case anyone else is interested. http://archipelagoarchaea.tumblr.com/meta . She's very detailed, and very interesting.

I just read this series and I was looking for something exactly like this! Definitely gave me an idea of how to get where I want to go with writing metas. Thanks so much!

I don't know about "forever" but I know a website that has snapshots back as far as 2003.
