Thank you to @emmagrant01 for finding these photos of the time I borrowed a sewing machine from a figure skater's mom (all skaters' moms own sewing machines) in Las Vegas and whipped up upholstery for the Potterlock Lounge at Leviosa according to @foxestacado's vision, using fabric she bought in L.A.'s garment district. Fox and Emma each brought an inflatable sofa, I sewed the sofa wraps and made sofa pillowcases (temporarily borrowing hotel room pillows), we had @dixiebell's hand-stenciled wallpaper backdrop, we made a crime scene fireplace, and Fox somehow singlehandedly created entire living room fixtures out of a shipment of cardboard recycling that Qui diverted to our hotel.

I can't remember why we did this? We thought it would be a good idea? So much fun.

Mrs. Hudson Casts Her Spell

I just finished listening to a fabulous segment on the most recent episode of the @threepatchpodcast​ in which @alexxphoenix42​ @vulgarweed​ and @amythe3lder discussed writing wiccan characters. It got me thinking about the fact that I’ve often written Mrs. Hudson as a witch, wise woman, or other practitioner of magic and spell-craft. Here is a sampling for you:

She Changes Everything She Touches (221 words, rated G) How many landladies does it take to change a light bulb? One, if the landlady is Mrs. Hudson. And she's going to be changing much more than that in her quest to bring Sherlock and John together.

Sherlock, Sherlock, Let Down Your Scarf (2952 words, teen) When John discovers Sherlock shut away in a tower, he vows to rescue the young man. But does Sherlock want to be rescued?

The Elves and the Brew-Maker (1661 words, rated G) Mrs. Hudson is determined to bring Sherlock and John together - with a little help from some ugly Christmas jumpers and a wee bit of magic.

Midnight Becomes You (1564 words, rated G) Cindersherlock longs to dance with Prince John at the Valentine’s Ball. But what will happen when Mrs. Hudson’s magic wears off at midnight?

The High-Functioning Sociopath Who Walked by Himself (837 words, rated G) Hear this tale, O my Best Beloved, of when the High-Functioning Sociopath was Wild — as wild as wild could be — and he walked through Wet Wild London by his wild lone.  Many men were wild and lonely, of course, but the wildest and loneliest of all was Sherlock Holmes.  He walked by himself, and all men were alike to him, which is to say all men were idiots.  Until he met John Watson…

New episode of @threepatch drops tomorrow so here's what I drew for January 2021: (Un)dead of Winter. Sherlock as Death. Second tarot card I've done. My inner goth horse girl was really happy with how this came out! . . #threepatchpodcast #sherlockfanart #sherlockbbc #sherlockholmes #benedictcumberbatch #tarot #death #horses https://www.instagram.com/p/CKu1a1vl1jK/?igshid=9zrzv8e5v3f4

New Sherlock(ish) Convention

Heylo gang, need your attention for a scalding second! @mssmithlove1 and a ragtag team of knowledgeable nerds are making some plans and preparations for a new Sherlock convention in Minneapolis!  We’ve got a great team so far, packed with con-building experience and no shortage of enthusiasm, and are excited to dig in our various footwear to bring this thing to life!

It would primarily be a Sherlock convention, but plenty of other fandoms would be represented with panels/meetups/merch/etc. (Yuri On Ice, Check Please!, MCU, Harry Potter, whatever you all expressed interest in), and, though we can’t give specific dates yet, it’s looking like Summer 2018, because we all need to budget for 221B Con just like you!

This is obviously still a ways off, but, before we start booking things, we want to get some basic info from all of you so we can tailor-make this experience as much as possible. To that end, please take two minutes to fill out this survey, and reblog to spread the word!

There are only 18 days left in our Indiegogo campaign! We cannot guarantee we will continue selling books after the campaign ends and if we do, the price is definitely going up to $70+ AND WILL NOT INCLUDE ALL ADDITIONAL PERKS, like shout-out on the podcast. So if you're interested in a copy of the hardcover book, consider pledging asap for the best deal!

As a podcast that highlighted the work and very frequently involved fandom members in the podcast, the podcast and the book is a time capsule of Sherlockiana of the past 10 years. For this next set of teasers, we want to highlight more fandom folks who are quoted in the book! In these teasers, you will see some familiar names, including (BUT DEFINITELY NOT LIMITED TO!)

PRICE CHANGE ALERT:

Due to the LA wildfires and a miscommunication about a production detail, the cost of the book has risen dramatically. On 2/11/25, the cost of Tier 4 (Hardcover book) is going from $60 to $65. If you were planning on getting this tier, get it now! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-three-patch-podcast-book/x/38366889#/

For full transparency, here is how the price change breaks down:

NEW cost breakdown:

Short-run digital printing 100 qty, 150-page book = $6,000 Taxes (9.5% for Los Angeles, California) = $570 Cost of proofs = same as before ($65/copy) Estimated shipping fees = same as before (around $500) Indiegogo platform fees (5%) plus transfer fees, etc. = same as before (around $500) ISBN registration = same as before ($125) ESTIMATED NEW TOTAL COST = $7,860

ESTIMATED PER BOOK COST = $78.60

As you can see, even with the price change, it doesn't cover all of our costs. We will rely on e-book sales and other cost cutting measures to come closer to breaking even, while also attempting to keep the book as affordable as possible.
