LOL the second one - are those the blue ones with the red bird pattern?

**Posted by Schmiezi** January 17, 2014 9:16 am

Sherlock's favourites!

...aaaand done. While waiting for it to be beta-ed, I've sent the complete list of words starting with T to all participants. (Or so I hope. Please let me know if I forgot someone!)

I will need one or two more chapters, so be prepaired to think of new words soon!

Can't wait to see the trunks.

**Posted by Schmiezi** January 17, 2014 12:01 pm

You really think about them a lot, don't you? Well, just a hint: they are John's trunks. And he's not wearing them.

Hello everybody. I'm in desperate need for new words.

If there is someone new reading that: I am currently writing a fic where each chapter is based on words delivered from forum members, all starting with the same letter. If you would like to take part in that, please PM me your words. They don't have to be suitable for children, just saying.
The fic deals with an established relationship between Sherlock and John and ignores the events of S3, simply because I've started writing it (long) before Christmas.

So, please send me words starting with A
until Sunday evening.
The topic is still "established relationship". Thank you!!

My words are on their way.

Mine should have arrived, too.

**Posted by Schmiezi** January 19, 2014 1:00 pm

Yes, they did. Wonderful words!

**Posted by Schmiezi** January 20, 2014 10:30 am

Congratulations to all of you - the list now contains 123 words starting with A. Not sure how to put Asterix and an astroid into the same story as Arabian Nights and alabaster skin, but then I never do right before I get started.

Thank you for all your wonderful words, they surely make a great final chapter.

Not forgotten ...
First of all, i wanted to let you know that I have not abandoned Like A Landslide. There are four pages of the last chapter already, and only 61 A-words left.

Furthermore, WHO OF YOU sent me "aliphatic and aromatic amines"? I've googled it, read the entire article and still don't know what it is. Could you please explain it to me? For otherwise I will have to cheat and use it in a sentence like, "There are so many things John does not understand, like why animes are cool or what aliphatic and aromatic amines are."

Thank you.

Oh I think as a doctor he has to know - organic chemistry should be his area. To some extent.
But it's not mine

**Posted by Schmiezi** March 17, 2015 3:23 pm

I am not sure if someone still remembers what this thread is about but I wamnted to let you know that I started writing on this one again. There are in fact only 35 words starting with A left that need to make their way into the final chapter of "Like A Landslide".

Sorry this is taking me so long.
