New fic - Living Rent-Free in His Head

Moriarty manages to swap bodies with Sherlock. Now Sherlock has to figure out not only how to get his body back, but also not get shot, blown up, or punched out by John in the process.

This is the first of eight chapters, to be posted weekly!

God can you imagine being Rocky?

You're sick. You recognise the symptoms from your crew, you have radiation poisoning. The astrophages that were protecting you and powering the ship are gone. You couldn't find the leak in time to stop it. And now you're dying out here in space, alone.

The life support systems on the ship are shutting down. Everything is shutting down. Your planet will die– your entire star system will die. They'll never know how close you came to saving them.

You think about Grace. Is his ship dying too? Or is he on his way home, none the wiser to your fate?

Maybe you're fighting until the end, or maybe you've 'made peace' with it.

And then you hear knocking, on the outside of your ship. Furious, desperate banging on the window. Your friend, your lab partner, your first contact, has come back to save you.

Amaze amaze amaze.

I think your fanfic is amazing.

“But Professor, the technical flaws!” “But Professor, the grammatical errors!” “But Professor, you’re not even in my fandom!” “But Professor, you’ve never even read my fanfic!”

I’ll say it again; I think your fanfic is amazing.

Johnlock Wedding Edition

The Case of the Deadly Celebrant by 221b_hound (T) "You’d better not have proposed to me and brought me to Ireland to get us married by a serial killer for a case and not because you actually want to marry me.”

For This by A_Candle_For_Sherlock (G) For John, for this, he needs to get it right.

Last Name by gaylock (G) Sherlock and John argue about who is going to change their last name in the wedding.

not gay by simplyclockwork (M) John's not gay. Sherlock knows. It doesn't matter.

'Tis a Gift by ChrisCalledMeSweetie (T) Can you deduce which gift was given by each guest at the Johnlock wedding?

While watching a DVD from the library my TV popped up a message saying to press a button if I wanted to watch this from additional providers.

It's never done that before so I looked it up and turns out Roku TVs have added all sorts of creepy things in the privacy section since I last checked.

One of which being they take screenshots from what you're watching and send them to third parties to identify it.

Fucking hell! Remember when every fucking device in your life wasn't a spy implanted in your home and working against your interests to try and sell your data? Remember how nice that was??

Remember when the TV was just a tool that would play the things you plugged into it?

Why must the future suck SO much?

How to Turn Off Smart TV Snooping Features - Consumer Reports

TVs collect a huge amount of data. Here's how to use privacy settings to limit the surveillance on TVs from LG, Samsung, TCL, and every othe

A good rundown on what each brand of TV is up to and which settings you should turn off.

[anarchistmemedistro]

[lytefoot]

PSA - Do not buy an LG smart TV. They just added a line to their terms of use that it's the user's responsibility to inform any guests in their house that by entering they consent to be recorded, in order to comply with wiretapping laws. That thing is literally recording you.

You can find tutorials online telling you how to open that thing up and physically remove the mic and wifi module. Frankly I don't trust anything less.

Sherlock and Rosie:)

[glorbleexists]

I love how you draw Rosie! This is how I imagine her most of the time!! :)

[melliedys]

Sherlock if we got the ending we wanted.

(Somewhere in London, right after it’s stoped raining in the early morning. It’s still dark out but the sun is just barely starting to rise)

Sherlock: you can’t keep putting yourself in danger! I can’t lose you.

John: Aren’t you the one who died?

Sherlock: not the point John.

John: I think that’s exactly the point.

(Pans out to both of them including their reflections in a huge puddle. There’s pinkish lights coming from a store as the sun continues to rise)

Sherlock: no it’s not. You’re more important, you’re-

John: I’m what Sherlock?

Sherlock: …

John: IM WHAT?

Sherlock: everything..

(Pan to both of them again. John looks confused)

John: what?

Sherlock: YOURE EVERYTHING JOHN WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

Sherlock: YOURE EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING TO ME!

(The sun is peaking out between the buildings, everything is bathed in a warm pink light)

John: *starts to laugh manically*

Sherlock: what funny about this?

John: haha good one Sherlock. You almost got me. There’s no WAY you want ME back.

Sherlock: *a look of painful understanding crosses his face*

(Pan to both of them)

Sherlock: no John I’m not joking with you.

John: aren’t you?

Sherlock: NO!

Sherlock: I DONT KNOWHOW TO BE ANYMORE CLEAR JOHN! YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO ME!

John: you could try “I love you”

Sherlock: now that’s a bit boring isn’t it?

(Pan to both of them smiling as the sun breaks over the rooftops. Then they walk to eachother and kiss)

Fin~

Martin Freeman singing. that's it

i do not own any of these songs.

[trapny]

This is more inspirational than I think it was originally intended to be

[barachiki]

For a man who noticed everything, Sherlock Holmes had become remarkably easy to lose.

[lavenderprose]

I love how some fics are called shit like "They Only Shoot The Birds Who Cannot Sing" and it's like the most insane porn you're ever read and then some fics are called Spit On Me and it's 18,000 words of the most achingly id-scratching prose you've ever read and they're both. They're both so fucking good. thank God for fanfiction.

[ficwritersretreat]

BEAUTIFUL FANDOM, BEAUTIFUL ART

This is a PROFOUND APPRECIATION post for @inevitably-johnlocked for nominating the Fic Writers' Retreat and @barachiki for going ABOVE and BEYOND.

LOOK AT THIS.

The banner for this blog. Look at the DETAILS. I know I already posted about it but it's a beautiful gift so I'm doing it again. So there.

But. BUT. BUT.

When I asked them if it would be okay to print stickers from the banner, they not only said yes, they also DESIGNED A LOGO and sent me sticker files!!!

Honestly, I am so floored, these look SO GOOD. Thank you so much, @barachiki, I appreciate your artistry so much.

Plus, this is the tenth anniversary of the first writing retreat, so it's exciting to have this to mark the occasion!

[inevitably-johnlocked]

OMG THIS IS SO AMAZING!

You’re so welcome for the nomination! Bara sent me my header (thank you!!!) and asked me who I thought needed some some fandom appreciation. The retreat was the first one I thought of.

I knew it was the tenth anniversary, and the few times I have gone have been some of the best holidays I have ever had. I don’t write much, but the immense kindness and insistence that I come anyway and contribute my thoughts and art work have made me feel so welcome. It’s not just a writing retreat, it’s an escape from the insanity of reality for a few days, to live in that happy little fandom bubble with people I love and not feeling overwhelmed with the intensity of a convention.

And the amount of work and time that goes into making it happen is SO INTENSE and I just wanted y’all to know that I RECOGNIZED THAT, we all do, and am pleased as punch that Bara has donated sticker art as well!

Thank you so much for having me, and here’s to ten more years :) It’s such a brilliant idea outside of a convention, for a bunch of people who love to just parallel play all weekend 💜💜

Resurfaced Alan Turing short story sheds light on how he felt about being gay

A newly transcribed short story written by Alan Turing challenges the long-standing image of him as isolated and ashamed of his sexuality

A newly transcribed short story written by Alan Turing challenges the long-standing image of the genius as isolated and ashamed of his sexuality, revealing instead a man who was “playful, funny, cheeky” and “really liked sex”.
