Hong Kong 360 with Mark Hooper - Jennifer Lai
I have had this idea for a Molly Hooper fic set in an Victorian AU for a while now, and I seriously need it out of my head. Thing is, I need someone to edit. I’ll paste the soon to be description below, and anyone interested send me a message. Thanks! xx
“A young woman struggling in an unjust society takes a break from the theatrics of pretending to be her male counterpart, Mark Hooper, and decides to relax at the quiet but foreboding Rose Point Manor. There she comes to a realization that something far more sinister lurks there than at her morgue back home.”
"Knowing nothing about the artist or inspiration behind an artwork can be a liberating and exhilarating experience."
Mark Hooper, 2008.
this is gonna be a weird question, but you seem to be really good at au's and stuff, so i'm going to ask: in a femlock verse, who do you think would play molly hooper?? (or mark hooper, or matthew hooper or whatever). just curious!!
Hmm interesting. Alright, well my headcanons for my own personal ‘femlock’ verse are known to be as follows:
Eva Green - SherlockCarey Mulligan - JohnTom Hiddleston - Irene Adler
So Molly/Mark Hooper… hmm. That’s a tricky one!
But based on look/vibe, I’m going to have to go with…
TA DA.

So a while ago, Edie linked me over to some translock she found, because of course as a trans person I am automatically invested in and can relate to all trans things ever.* And this morning I read it and did not enjoy it at all (sorry author! I found your writing style sort of clunky and bland! You seemed like an alright dude but I could not get into it, and some of it sort of read as a Trans 101 primer which is very valid and necessary but not really something I want mixed with my porn!).
And I told her (over texting, because she insists on going into work like it is her JOB) and we mourned a tiny mourning together, and then I said, "Well, if you want something done right, do it yourself."
And she said "YES YES DO THAT"
And I said "No, I don't think I really would—writing cisporn(TM) is bad enough, if I wrote porn with trans men everyone would give me the eyebrow raise of "well that is specific" and make assumptions, and I don't—oh god, MOLLY AS A TRANS MAN MOLLY AS THE TINIEST OF TRANS MEN"
And, guys, I know the sherlock fandom has got SO FEW women, and I have a terrible suspicion that making one of them trans is going to be met with accusations of misogyny, and I do not know, guys, I have no excuse, Mark is just so cute and I want to touch his doubly-fictional face.
Anyway then we started going back and forth about Mark and who he was and what he does and, well, she said if I was not going to write it then she was.
And then we sat down tonight and watched the first episode of Sherlock and co-wrote this (which involved a lot of "that is not the word I mean" "what? yes it is!" "that word does not mean what you think it means!" and also watermelon sherbet) and I have got no regrets
Anyway the reason this post is so long is because I typed it while waiting for her to put it up on AO3, and now she has, SO HERE
TINY GLORIOUS TRANSLOCK
*not true. Actually she linked me over because a while ago I found some really glorious porny well-done translock and she was returning the favor.
