I am in MASSIVE NEED of Sherlock Holmes fic, but I haven't been paying attention to the fandom for a while and now all I can find is Sherlock BBC. Do not want! Does anyone have recs for period Holmes fic, either bookcanon or Holmes 09?

Watched Granada!Holmes "The Dancing Men" and "The Naval Treaty" last night. God how are they so bloody adorable?!

Do you have any preferences beyond that?

I recently read Homo Ex Machina and liked it very much. It is Granada Holmes.

Would you like an original Holmes/Stargate Atlantis fic that works? It's really well done, with a perfect Watson voice. I normally dislike crossovers, but I loved this.

I have one name for you.

After I read her fic, though, i lost interest in everyone else's. Fair warning. She's just that good.

Precisely what I was going to suggest. I seriously want a leather-bound copy of all Katie's fic, so I can put it on my shelf next to Conan-Doyle omnibus. Katiefic is canon for me. :)

AH!

well, good luck with that. i'll be looking to see if anyone turns up anything else for you, because honestly she ruined me for merely okay writing in this fandom.

like you i have no interest in the bbc series, tho it seems to be one of fandoms new shinies. but i adore the books, the Brett series and Downey/Law.

I suspected you, being of discerning tastes, probably had. :) I'm curious to see what else this thread yields; I wouldn't mind new Holmesfic recs myself!

srsly. there are other wonderful authors in this fandom (candlebeck leaps immediately to mind) but katie forsythe is in a class by herself.

after making the rec i went back and reread a couple of her shorter things.

I worship her writing. and i adore her take on lestrade.

I am a big fan of [livejournal.com profile] w_a_i_d. She writes ACD-verse Sherlock Holmes. You can find her stories in the top post of her journal. She has a very promising WIP going now, but maybe you want to start with the completed ones.

I haven't been reading Holmes lately, but all my bookmarks are here (both reviews and a few I've bookmarked to read but haven't gotten to yet).

I hope there will be another revival of the fandom (and my interest?) when the new movie comes out. I am annoyed by all the Sherlock obsession everywhere.
