Boy, this reads a lot like a credentials listing thread, doesn't it?
My credentials: I read a lot and forget most of it.
More interestingly, I enjoy ALL Holmes canons. Yes, even the bad ones. I have a strange love of all those derivative films made throughout the decades. I would consider Doyle canon when writing fic for the 2009 movie but not vice versa, and not when writing Basil of Baker Street fanfiction, and can approach each new Holmes as a wholly new character informed by all the others. I'm guessing having read so much fanfiction helps with all that. But I've never been in the Holmes fandom, really (and I know that's a huge gap in my Holmes knowledge because fandom is pretty important and a world of its own), so poking about here feels all strange and new, and I'm looking forward to seeing other people's angles on the stories and characters.
Label list: woman, 30 years old, BA in film, unambitious, fat, white, Finno-Belgian, bi-queer, feminist, etc. TMI? Oh well.
