Aw! Thanks! I was most nervous about this one. I know there are ~factions~ in the fandom of Sherlock Holmes and all that entails, so I wanted to do him justice without stepping on any toes.
I have such a hard time articulating just what about the original ACD stories I love so much, but for me it's all about character. These two. The rest: the cases, the criminals, victims, lovers, sibling and whatnot, are all flittering and mangled and hurt to think about too closely. And yet there are those who do and while I am in awe of them, I could never be one who picks apart cases, who create entire inner lives for secondary characters--which is one of my favorite things to do in other canons. ;)
Yes, nothing will touch the Granada series for attention to canon detail and NAILING it every time. There will never be another Brett. ♥ But that's okay, he gave us SO MUCH!
