[27 Dec 2012|12:15pm] killerweasel [ mood | geeky ] Under the cut is a pretty neat Sherlock Holmes-shaped bell that a co-worker gave me in exchange for a Sherlock Holmes book. She said she picked it up at some art fair back in 1975 (so it is older than I am) and was the only one the guy had. It actually rings too. Looks like it was done in the style of Basil Rathbone.

If you’re curious about the concept of a ‘mind palace’, you should probably check this out. article under the cut ( under here...Collapse ) The game is afoot!

[14 Nov 2012|10:43am] billy_cock I thought i'd drop in and say "hello" - it feels like i'm new to blogging all over again, as I used to frequent LJ then, um, didn't. (move over Conan Doyle, what a way *I* have with words!!) :p To keep this on topic I thought i'd ask if anyone here has read, and can recommend (or otherwise!), the book Naked is the Best Disguise? It's been on my wishlist for a while as it sounds like an intriguing masterwork of Sherlockian literary criticism, BUT, I recently came across a short but very hostile review of it which makes me wonder... Right, must be off. It's murder trying to find a hansom round these parts... 5 smoked pipes / The game is afoot!

Miss Molly Had A Dolly And It Was Sick, Sick, Sick. MORMOR MOLIARTY COMPLETE [17 Oct 2012|07:02pm] sherlocks_pants [ mood | amused ] Originally posted by sherlocks_pants at Miss Molly Had A Dolly And It Was Sick, Sick, Sick. MORMOR MOLIARTY COMPLETE Miss Molly Chapters 1 & 2 click here... Miss Molly Chapter 3 part 1 here... Miss Molly Chapter 3 part 2 here... This is a three chapter piece that runs along side my WIP 'A Complicated Life' (Asexual Sherlock/Straight John). For this one I wanted an extreme contrast between Sherlock and Johns relationship and the relationship between Moriarty and his man Moran. I also wanted to show quite how messed up Jim's head is. Often suicidal and a sadomasochistic he drifts between reality and his fantasies. I wanted to explore why he didn't kill Molly when he was planning to kill Mrs Hudson, John and Lestrade. I have also given Jim and Sebastian some back story and looked a little into Jim's possible family history. Some not Canon, but Conan-Doyle did not give me much to play with. Hope no one takes insult to the ref the Jim's Irishness. My family are Irish on both sides so it seemed a natural thing to do. I am not a writer, I write for myself really. This starts off pretty gentle and ends pretty messy. Expect it all....flashbacks, fluff, BDSM, rape, incest, explicit sex, Teen Sex, Jim 'Ryan' i.e Jim from the Hospital, Jim Moriarty's fantasies, I tried to get a bit of everything in :D   The children's rhyme 'Miss Polly' in this case 'Miss Molly' has been played with for the last chapter. Warnings: for Violence, Explicit sex (some Non Con) constant swearing. Pairings: Moran/Moriarty, Moriarty/Molly, Moriarty/other character, Sherlock/John implied, Moriarty/Sherlock implied, Moran/Watson implied Summary:Jim's got a new job. This is what happened on Molly's three dates. Exploring the mind of Jim Moriarty. I still feel a bit sorry for him though :) <3 The game is afoot!

David Stuart Davies's Bending the Willow as ebook [14 Oct 2012|04:19pm] jadomil So yesterday I was browsing the amazon site for Sherlock Holmes related stuff and was surprised to find David Stuart Davies's book Bending the Willow as kindle ebook for only 8 Euro! (I'm German, but it's available on the American and British sites as well.) I had heard of it before, a book about Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes in the Granada series, but thought it was out of print and that my chances of ever finding a copy for a reasonable price would be about zero here in Germany. Needless to say, I now have it on my kindle and so far quite enjoy reading it :) Now I want the Granada DVDs for Christmas... I thought I'd mention it here in case there are other fans interested. 6 smoked pipes / The game is afoot!

Fans make Reichenbach Falls pilgrimage [17 Sep 2012|07:04pm] killerweasel [ mood | geeky ] Sherlock Holmes fans make Reichenbach Falls pilgrimage It is 125 years since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr John Watson were introduced to the world. The Sherlock Holmes Society has a current membership of almost 1,200 people from all over the world, and many of them spend their free time re-enacting the key moments of their hero’s life. More than 70 of them have just completed a pilgrimage to Meiringen in Switzerland, home of the Reichenbach Falls, and scene of the final struggle between Sherlock Holmes and his arch-enemy, the evil Professor James Moriarty. The society’s president Guy Marriott explained to BBC News why he and other enthusiasts travel the world dressed as characters from Holmes novels. there’s a video at the source (might start playing when you click). Sherlock Holmes and his fight to the death One of the most famous scenes in the Sherlock Holmes stories occurs in Switzerland, where Holmes fans still gather to re-enact the detective's tussle with his nemesis, Moriarty. It is 125 years since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective was introduced to the world. The first Holmes and Watson mystery, A Study in Scarlet, was published in 1887. Since then, the inhabitants of 221B Baker Street have remained hugely popular and recent film and television adaptations of the stories have introduced them to a new generation. But there are some Sherlock Holmes fans for whom reading a book or watching a film is simply not enough to satisfy their enthusiasm. The Sherlock Holmes Society has a current membership of almost 1,200 people from all over the world, and many of them spend their free time re-enacting the key moments of their hero's life.
