Welcome to everything I've written or otherwise made related to Holmes! I have links to my scribbles, a silly top 10 list, a poem, and a section on my novel-in progress.
My JB page concerns Jeremy Brett, who portrayed Holmes. Or you can read my Doyle page, with its thoughts about the author, or my one of my two essays on the Foxhound's page, where I'm listed as Miss Roylott. I also have a local, revised copy of Semiotic Identity here. Oh, and in case you haven't found it yet, there is a little story I wrote called Holmes and Irene.
On a more graphical note, I once created an idealized Dorm Room, featuring a Sherlock Holmes poster! Ain't it scary how obsessed I am?
Finally, I know some people will be offended, but I must mention my Holmes/Watson slash website. (Yes, it does exist, for those who wondered why I stopped linking to it! I just could never find the right context for it.) Feel free to visit if you're emotionally mature and interested, but beware: This is not a kid-friendly site, so don't take impressionable kids there! Nor is this site for any adult who objects to reading about gay romance or sex. Since my experience has been that mainstream Sherlockians mostly don't care for Holmes/Watson slash (it's the subversives that crave it), I won't bother giving the actual link. I don't know for certain who visits the Tin-box, so I can't control whether I'm sending kids to it or not. You can always do a search of the internet. Those who are determined to find a site, will get to it fine by themselves.
10. Holmes lets him have all the babes. 9. It's useful having a roommate who knows how many steps there are up to your lodgings. 8. There's no better exercise for the old humility muscles than being constantly berated about your intelligence, writing, and observational skills by a man whom most chronologists agree is two years younger than you and has no college degree. 7. There's lots of beautiful ladies swooning into your arms when they come to consult Holmes about a distressing case. 6. Even if Holmes is a master boxer, marksman, and swordsman, it's no problem feeling more macho than him because of his cross-dressing and effeminate lounging around in a dressing gown. 5. Hey, Holmes fixed Watson up with his wife Mary, didn't he? 4. If he berates you about tobacco and race horse gambling, you can berate him about tobacco, cocaine, morphine, firing pistols indoors, never filing papers, etc. 3. Holmes is handy should you ever need to haggle a Jewish pawnbroker for a violin. 2. When you and your lady are holding hands on the lawn and watching him crawl with a lantern across the roof "like an enormous glow-worm", you can say, "He's a bit odd; I'm the normal one." 1. He and you can do all the ejaculating in front of each other that you want!
Surely never surpassed in brilliance, in genius,
He is the consummate detective, the epitome. Largely self-
Educated in haemoglobin, tobacco ash, plaster of paris, the agony
column, and innumerable histories of sensational crime, this acute
Reasoner yet
Loves wry humor, good friendship, strong smoke, fine dining, and the
truly
Outré to complement the recherche. He is the product of art in
the blood--and theatre, and music, and philosophy. . .
Case after case he pursues to relieve the commonplace dullness of
existence, whether his client be a scandalous
King or a beautiful young Violet.
&
Just an average, modest,
Ordinary citizen of England, whom
His friend would hardly accuse of being observant or original--
Nevertheless, in heart, in loyalty, in honesty and strength of
character, he remains an ever-chivalrous, and quiet,
Hero.
Some excerpts from this novel, which I've been writing since high school, reside in the Foxhound's collection. They're very rough, and entitled "Reminiscences of Miss Helen Stoner" and "Reichenbach". "Reminiscences" is currently under revision, which you can check out on my page of notes. This is also where I have moved my general intro to my novel.
