#Reichencrack is back.
Saturday, April 1. #Reichencrack tag.
Bring the silliest Sherlock theories and parody metas you can think of. Theories about any episode or topic are welcome, as long as they don’t make sense.
It’s a fandom tradition in its 6th year, and everyone’s invited to take part.
The London Sherlock Location Guidebook
It’s done! Get the PDF here.
File size: 355MB
The fruit of hundreds of hours of research, tramping London, photographing, screencapping and cursing PowerPoint, it is here!
The guide contains maps showing how to find every known BBC Sherlock location in London, with screencaps and text identifying where it featured, and contemporary photos to show what it looks like now. There are also some special sections such as how to follow the ASIP taxi chase in order, and area maps to help you devise local mini-tours if you like.
I (@pennypaperbrain) have lived in London for 20 years, and this guide grew out of showing fandom friends around, first the obvious places and then some not so obvious. Photography is by the indispensable @sincerely-chaos.
This is version 1 so I’m sure there are many improvements and refinements that can be made. Please email londonsherlocktour at gmail dot com if you have feedback, or squee. (You can also use tumblr of course, but tumblr eats asks). If you end up using the guide in London, it would also be particularly cool to have stories/photos to feature on this tumblr.

Short Fic Recs
So I was thinking about how you don’t really see recs for very short fic, which is a shame because short fics are amazing, and one of the things I love about fandom is that it has an accepted place for really really short fiction.
And it’s International Fanworks Day. And I started putting together a list. And then I realized that a lot of these shared a theme.
Holmes fandom has multiple - numerous -
Excellent Epistolary Fics Under 1000 Words
Songs of Spring by Waid
“At this period of my life the good Watson had passed almost beyond my ken. An occasional week-end visit was the most that I ever saw of him. Thus I must act as my own chronicler. Ah! had he but been with me, how much he might have made of so wonderful a happening and of my eventual triumph against every difficulty! ”
Holmes sends the manuscript of The Lion’s Mane to the absent Watson. But perhaps his absence isn’t as longterm as all that.
[Retirement fix-it fic. Holmes writes a love letter. It’s not exactly his area of expertise.]
–
A Less Than Final Stop by JaneTurenne
Shortly after The Waterfall, John Watson begins sending telegrams.
[Hiatus fix-it fic. I’ve spent most of the past week in LJ Holmes fandom nostalgia. Things like this are why.]
–
Unsent by hardboiledbaby
Epistolary ficlet set during the hiatus.
[Holmes wants to express sympathy. And something else.]
–
Chimera by stardust_made
Holmes writes a predestined letter.
[Self awareness is what I look for in a Holmes, maybe more than anything else.]
–
A very short exploration of phone (actually telegraphic) sex and orgasm control, in which this title is several times longer than the fic itself. by Skud
[Your reccer regrets nothing.]
–
And one Sherlock fic:
Half Midnight In The Arse-Crack Of Winter by faerymorstan
A brief interlude in a roller skating bar. Yknow. Like ya do.
[Probably better in context, but I couldn’t leave it out when it’s for me. <3]
LiveJournal
… for the Come at Once 24-hour porn challenge. Signups close on Thursday!
And if you haven’t done Come at Once, you simply haven’t lived the fullest Holmesianly pornographic life you could have been living all this time. That is all.
Seriously, y’all, it is SO fun and open to any/all Holmes-related pairings and ‘verses–writer’s choice. I’ve done it three times and been surprisingly pleased with all three fics, so even if you think you can’t write something satisfactory in less than 24 hours, you probably can!
Seriously, guys - you should sign up. It’s such a fun challenge, I’ve done every single one so far and I’m the slowest writer I know. Just give it a shot!
The Sherlock Kink Meme is here!
Welcome to the Tumblr Sherlock Kink Meme. Please check out our guideline page for information regarding submitting and fulfilling prompts. We welcome all adult fans of Sherlock Holmes in any incarnation. Any kink! Any pairing!
This is a shame-free zone. Kinkshaming will not be tolerated. All prompts will be posted behind a read-more and tagged with relevant information/triggers/warnings. Anon is on, so your privacy is safe. We are merely a go-between for the prompter and author/artist who might find inspiration. If you don’t feel comfortable, there is another kinkmeme out there on Dreamwidth! (It is not our intention to compete with them–some of us don’t use Dreamwidth or LJ, and so we are creating this blog as a way for Tumblr users to also enjoy a kinkmeme.)
We’ve created a Sherlock kink meme collection on AO3 for authors to submit their fills to. The AO3 collection is also anonymous…although authors can de-anon in the Notes section, or can post it with their own name on their own AO3.
Ok, ready, set, kink!
Queerness, the Weight of Womanhood, and Fucking While Feminine in a Fannish Context
So, back in October, HBBO and I had this conversation:
gins: I’m going to write an essay entitled: “whither bottom sherlock?: queerness, the weight of womanhood, and fucking while feminine in a fannish context”
hbbo: I would like to subscribe to your newsletter
hbbo: oh wait I’m the communications liaison for your newsletter
gins: LOLOLOLOL
It may take me some time but: I always follow through.
Anyway. HBBO recently wrote an essay entitled, “On the personal as normal; on the normal as political,” which I am linking to because while it covers different ground, it is in some senses kind of the matched pair to this essay, in part because—unsurprisingly—we talk about this stuff on the regular: you know, in chat, in our living room, in the car, at brunch in public locations. And like that essay, the starting point of this essay is also the intersection of bodily comfort, sexual comfort, femininity, and politics—though the particular way that those issues cluster here is different, because HBBO’s essay is much broader and a more exhaustive exploration of a general question, while this essay was touched off by a particular query I get a lot on a particular story; and also unlike HBBO’s post, I am going to talk a lot about dudes.
In case you are on mobile or otherwise made it here in a way that doesn’t readily show my tags: this post contains a much franker discussion of my writing decisions than I generally get into in public, and, as such, light spoilers for “build your wings” up through Part 45, as well as some kind of general big-picture level spoilers for the whole thing (though nothing, I think, that will be a huge shocker if you’ve read up this far). It also merits content warnings for misogyny, homophobia, homophobic language, violence, sexual identity issues, gender identity issues, sexual anxiety, sexual feminization, discussions of BDSM, references to fictional consent issues, and frank discussion (read: TMI) about my own gender and sexual identity, sex life, and body.
(Also: I haven’t watched past Sherlock S2. I would appreciate it, from a writing-mind-derailing perspective, if you added “GINS THIS HAS SHERLOCK SPOILERS” to the start of any reblogs or replies that, uh, have Sherlock spoilers, so I can skip them. Thank you!!)
Whither Bottom Sherlock? Queerness, the Weight of Womanhood, and Fucking While Feminine in a Fannish Context
I want to start by saying that, as is my standard practice, where this bumps up against identifying parts of real lives and sexual experiences, particularly against other people’s real lives and sexual experiences, I’m going to be fictionalizing a lot of the details. However, I’m trying very hard to maintain, despite that fictionalization, the emotional—and in this case, political—truth.
So, with that disclaimer…
I tend to be reluctant to explicitly self-identify as a cis woman, but I’m far more reluctant to identify as anything else; I am a cis woman, I’m just a cis woman who—due to a peculiar combination of family structure and personal inclination and professional interests and coincidence—happened to be socialized, for the first two decades or so of her life, very much like a boy.
Keep reading
It’s always a pleasure when hbbo and gins share their thoughts with us!
This essay got me thinking about a different, but related issue… the question of queerness in fanfic.
The conventional wisdom, I think, is that fanfic is all about queerness (aside from the occasional hetero pairing). A whole genre of writing devoted mostly to men loving and sexing other men! What could be queerer than that?
But the thing is, there’s more to queerness than sex or love.
And here I have to introduce the caveat: not for everyone. Of course it is true that there are men-loving-men who have zero interest in queerness as anything other than a sexual practice. So for any *given* story about John and Sherlock (or whatever m/m pairing), there’s nothing inherently wrong with having them not really think about or engage with queerness outside of the bedroom.
It does, however, start to feel a little funny when you tally up the *huge* number of stories where John and Sherlock fail to engage with queerness on a political, social, or cultural level. Which often has the effect of making them look like a straight couple that happens to have an extra penis.
It would be interesting to me to see more m/m couples in fanfic who felt fully embedded in a queer-tinted world. That is to say, they have some gay friends. They have a favorite LGBTQ bookshop. They give to queer charities, occasionally see queer-themed movies, have very strong feelings about Margaret Thatcher (having come of age when she was instating a lot of homophobic policies). Who have some thoughts and conversations about what it means to be a queer man in the world today, including thoughts about what it means to be a bi man vs. a gay man (because those are not identical experiences).
That said, there some fics I’m aware of that handle this concept well. Off the top of my head:
Time on My Hands by Mildredandbobbin is a wonderful examination of Sherlock coming to terms with himself as a gay man, not simply a man who is in love with John Watson.
The Doubtful Comforts of Human Love by PoppyAlexander does a nice job of setting John and Sherlock in a broader queer context, including addressing some of the issues of bisexuals in relationships with monosexuals.
Sketchy by Serpentynka has a lovely OMC in Sherlock’s older gay friend, Alexander.
I also made an attempt myself, in my story Then It’s the Bomb that Will Bring Us Together. Prompted by a conversation on a related topic, I set out to write about John and Sherlock’s experiences as queer men growing up in the 80s and 90s.
In conclusion, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to write or read Sherlock and John as separate from a larger world of queer issues and culture. But it is a problem if people think slash fanfic is giving them an accurate view of queer male culture and experience.
Fandom Fic Rec Days
The Fandom Fic Rec Days are back!
It is easy to make people look at art; all you need is a reblog. But when it comes to make people want to read fanfiction, it can get just a little more tricky.
To give writers more recognition, and to celebrate their stories, we’ve decided to organize the Fic Rec Days.
On February 10th, 11th, and 12th, you’re invited to rec your favourite fics, from the all time faves to the WIPs you’re currently enjoying.
How? In any way you want!
Create a post saying why people should read the fic!
Draw some fanart!
Create graphics/aesthetics!
Make a fic rec list!
Make a mix!
And so on.
Anything, really; there’s no way of rec’ing worth less than another.
This way, you will:
Promote writers’ fics, and maybe get them new readers.
Make their day, they will be super happy!
Maybe encourage them to write more (win-win!)
Any rules/extra information?
Tag your posts with #ficrecdays
Tag your fandom/ship.
You can always queue if you’re not available!
Readers, please consider leaving a comment on the fics you liked!
Above all else, have fun, make people happy (writers and new readers alike!)
Reblog to spread the word, and see you then! :D
Oh, don’t worry, Irene! It’s easy. All you have to do, really, is to create something for a femslash ship and you’re participating.
Femslash February is a very basic, simple challenge. It started in 2013 on Tumblr with the call to create at least two femslash fanworks during the months of February. Any type of fanwork. (source) It can be any fandom and any pairing, no reason to limit yourself! (Though maybe stay away from rule 63, and let the lovely women take all the space!) Through the years, different versions of the challenge have been presented – prompts, collaborations, bingo cards, big bangs, and so on – but always with the main goal of creating more femslash.
Femslash February isn’t a challenge you enter into, it’s a challenge you do yourself, so if you only find the time to create one thing that’s totally fine and legit as participating in Femslash February. Because you did the thing!
If you really want to create something, but feel a bit lacking on the inspiration side of things I’ve created a Word Prompt List for each day of February. Feel free to use it however you please. Want to create something for each word linked to your favourite ship? Awesome! Want to just pick just a handful of words? Go ahead! Want to mix it up with different ship each day? Wonderful! Let the list inspire you, not limit you.
I’ve also put together a mini-challenge or general prompt for each week of February, but please don’t feel limited by the prompts or challenges. The main goal is to shine light on and create more femslash, the prompts are just there to help and motivate.
Week 1: Going away. Pack the bags! It’s time to go on a romantic vacation to sunny Greece or snowy Chamonix. Or maybe a business trip with a random meeting in a crowded airport? Who knows? The world is bigger than London.
Week 2: Sports and Games. Are they all on the same Roller Derby team? Football team? Are there poker nights? Who comes home all sweaty and glowing from a workout, and who really, really likes that? Or just… imagine them wearing tennis gear.
Week 3: Be inspired! Create something that is inspired by someone else’s work. Podcast your favourite fic, write a fic to a graphic or a gifset or a fanart, draw something, make a graphic or a gifset based on a fic. Or how about putting together a fanmix? (As a bonus you’ll also make another fan happy!)
Week 4: Favourite trope. What’s your favourite trope? First time? Friends-to-lovers? Sleeping together to stay warm? Fake dating? Sex pollen? Arranged marriage? Amnesia? Mutual pining? Use it! Share it! They are our favourites for a reason.
Again, please let these (and the word prompt list) be inspiring and motivating, not limiting. All contributions are welcomed and encouraged!
To make sure I find your things, please tag it with #sherlock femslash in one of the first five tags. (and #femslash february for all to see! Let’s show tumblr that the femslash part of the Sherlock fandom is alive and strong!)
Let’s have a wonderful February, everyone!
Hey there! I´m sorry to bother you, but I have a mighty need of re-reading two specific fics and I just can´t seem to find them- The first one is set in an AU where john has a device planted in his head that "rewards" him whenever sherlock (his master) tells him he did good. The second one is about sherlock doing "research" in a sex club and getting john involved in his studies quite actively. If you know them that would save my butt! Thank you for all the work you do
Hello! I don’t check messages here often. I don’t know the first fic but the second is A Cure for Boredom by Emma Grant
The other fic has been indentified as Collared by Velvet Mace

50 Best Fics of 2016
2016 may go down as a terrible year by many counts, but in terms of fics it was terrific. It was seriously hard to narrow it down but I’ve compiled my 50 favorites that completed posting in 2016. (Previous years’ lists are here: 2013 / 2014 / 2015) AUs tend to dominate this year’s picks, but there’s a strong secondary showing of post-series 3 fics. Overall, lots of angst and cases, historical fiction, science fiction and magic, a bit of humor, a smattering of fluff, and even a couple of genfics this time round, but by and large it’s Johnlock front and center. With what has become my standard disclaimer: There are plenty of other fics that I loved, and even more that I simply didn’t get around to reading (yet), so it’s not a judgment if your favorite (or one you wrote) isn’t on here. Think of this as a sampling rather than a definitive list. I hope this will help you to re-acquaint yourself with fics you loved, give a chance to others you may have skipped the first time round, and possibly discover something entirely new and astonishing.

Have you ever done a fic rec list of total crack, laugh yourself silly stories?
My friend this is an EXCELLENT ask!! This was terribly fun to put together. I do LOVE the crack fics!!!! ;)
Funny &Cracky Sherlock Fic Recs
Whatto do When Your Flatmate is Homicidalby hyacinth_sky747, 58 k, explicit. This work is divine silliness. Through astream of consciousness from Sherlock ostensibly writing in a diary, we see thelives of John and Sherlock as they build a relationship together. All I can sayis “glow in the dark condoms for John’s sexual needs.” This work is sweet,bizarre, sexy, cracky, but watch for the sucker punch of feels slipped in nearthe end.
The Road Trip series by stupid_drawings. Crack fic. Sherlock andJohn go on a road trip to solve a crime with Lestrade, then others of thepolice force. The last fic ends with some pretty heavy angst when gay Sherlockrealizes that straight John will never be romantically interested in him.Ignore that part, the rest is priceless, sweet and funny. (Pretend they gettogether later anyway. ;) A fav.
The Perfect Specimen by Cleo2010, 2 part series, explicit. Hot,so hot. Sherlock has become enamored of John’s large cock. He keeps trying tocome up with ways to sneak a peek or cop a feel without John noticing.Eventually, John notices what Sherlock is doing. Silly and Oh MY!
Wait, What? What RomanticRelationship? by cwb, 4 k,explicit. So cute, so sweet, and hilariously funny. Fluff, all the fluff. Anentire fic told only in quotations. Sherlock decides to focus more on therelationships in his life. He and John decide, yes, they are in a romanticrelationship. Part of a series – read them all! (Locked to AO3 users.)
Planet Sherlock by pir8fancier, 6 k, mature. John and Sherlock start a sex life. Sherlockdevises a rating system and begins to quantify all they do. Crack. Funny, but sweet too.
TFSH by radicalnothing, 6 k, explicit. Some drunk texting on Sherlock’s part leadsto some hot, hot, hot sex when things finally explode between John andSherlock. Sweet, funny, and hot – this fic really gets in there.
In Which John is a Cuddly BAMFAssassin by notbeloved07, 10 k, teen.Cracky, funny AU where Sherlock is still a detective, but John is an assassin,and they meet and begin dating in a bizarre transatlantic cat and mouse sort ofway. Sweet, and odd. Some plot, romance and character development.
Around the House series by redscudery, 4 shorts, teen to explicit.Stories revolving around getting John out of his jumpers, and into some sexyknickers. Funny and hot. NICE!
The Door Opened series by trillsabells – two shorts, “Logicalthought” told from John’s POV, and “Party in the Palace” told from Sherlock’sPOV lead up to “A Week to Woo” – 14 k, mature. Fluff and fun. John and Sherlock fell into bed together onthe stag night, and this is the aftermath. Funny, sexy, and touching, this isan absolute thumbs up!
Survival Strategies for theDomesticated British Butthole by Atiki, 6 k, explicit. In which there’s arimming disaster, Sherlock depilates his butt, everything goes very, very wrongand groceries are mistreated. This fic contains hair removal creme in abutthole, ice lollies in a butthole and John Watson’s penis in a butthole. Youhave been warned.
A very Sherlock Musical by flawedamythyst, 11 k, teen. Cute AU wherepeople live in a musical world that allows them to break into song together atemotional moments. John knows that he and Sherlock have a theme song, butSherlock balks at singing with him. Fluffy fluff. Fun bit of crack.
On the courting behaviour of theBritish Sherlock byBold_as_Brass, 1.5 k, teen. Fun little crack piece. John and Sherlock areprimates in a zoo.
The Printer Is Jammed by startrekto221B, 40 k, gen. Epistolaryfic. John and Sherlock meet online when John, a writer, complains about abroken printer, and Sherlock is forced to work the service desk at his brotherMycroft’s company. Hilarious and sweet at the start, this fic goes reallyinteresting places as the two start essentially writing the stories of SherlockHolmes and John Watson together.
Metaphor Short-Stature, or, HowJohn Watson Finally Learned to Love Himself (and Sherlock) by Loving Himself by May_Shepard, 13 k, mature. Adorable crackmeta fic. Seven lovely scientists create a clone of John Watson – Metaphor, thevery best of what John can be, and release him on 221b to save the day. Insidefandom jokes, friends having fun, and really a cute story to boot. Thumbs up!
I Just Had Sex by pennydreadful, 916 words, teen. Cutelittle cracky short. Sherlock feels the need to tell everyone he meets that heand John just had sex.
The Newlywed Game: JohnlockEdition by patternofdefiance. 9 k,explicit. Utterly adorable bit of fluff. John and Sherlock go on a NewlywedGame show for a case so Sherlock can study the host. The questions areadorable, the sex scene after is sweetness personified. Well written, and verycute.
Dear Umbrella by jurgbury, 13 k words. Mystrade crack –inspired by a Johnlock fic “Dear John” but is MUCH more outrageous and meta.The tags alone are hysterical.

Sherlock tries desperately to woo John, butsignals keep getting crossed. Instead the two of them end up seducing Lestradein some pranking/pissing match. Things eventually get sorted. Some may findSherlock too OoC to enjoy here, but Ilaughed so hard I nearly wet myself. Thumbs up.
Sharing a Bed
I can’t pretend: Salambo06 - 7,692
At a college reunion Mycroft forces them to attend, John pretends to be Sherlock’s husband after seeing how he is treated by his old classmates. While sharing a bed that night at a hotel, Sherlock tells John he doesn’t want to pretend anymore. Please read everything by @johnlockfulfillment I’m obsessed with her fics.
Bed-Sharing Between Flatmates: testosterone_tea - 5,053
A cute 5+1 about different ways they were forced to share a bed and one time they chose to. Sherlock slowly discovers and takes notes on each instance and starts to question his relationship with John.
Assurance: belovedmuerto - 2,382
