House incorrect tweet

Said Greg House, probably

[deelaundry]

To clarify: House and Wilson are an adaptation of Holmes and Watson. BBC Sherlock came AFTER House. (And I think, based a few things off House.)

house and wilson being an adaptation of sherlock and john keep me up at night i cant sleep im thinking of the PARALLELS

Hilarious fic

Anyone who's ever been annoyed with any part of S4 of Sherlock BBC would likely enjoy this parody fic. It's a fanfic of a set of parody skits of Sherlock BBC done by a Norwegian TV show that has canon Johnlock! With on-screen snogging! But you don't have to have watched those to enjoy this.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: NRK Lydverket, Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Mycroft Holmes, Rosamund Mary "Rosie" Watson, Toby Jones Additional Tags: Parentlock, Humor, Parody Summary:

The Norwegian Sherlock Parody (NRK) on YouTube. This would be my version of Volume 4, adapting BBC S4. It made me sad to think that there may never be another one of these, so when Dee_Laundry mentioned this fandom, I went for it.

[deelaundry]

I honestly think this is how it happened, along with Wilde being hired because RSL is useless at doing press. "Quid pro quo, we'll give you this opportunity to act in a hugely popular and respected show, and you do publicity." Before House, her biggest role was a short arc on The OC, a kind-of teen night soap opera. Not insulting it; that's what it was!

I'm also not insulting Olivia Wilde. She did a fine job acting; I enjoyed her performance as Thirteen. And she was good with the press, despite a few awkward, clumsy statements about bisexuality.

Most 00's shows: here's some queerbait and longing looks but no they'll never actually be gay we can't put that on tv

House MD: House and Wilson are so gay that they're too useless to fuck but here have Olivia Wilde being bi onscreen

[deelaundry]

At the time RSL married Gaby Salick, they had two dogs (chihuahuas or mix thereof) named Happy and Bradley. Here's a pic.

rsl dog?

I swear i've seen a picture of him with dogs but i have no idea where they are

[deelaundry]

wilson met house and he was like ‘i can fix him’ and house was like ‘i can make him worse’ and then they did. for eight fucking years.

[deelaundry]

somehow ended up in your rsl i love youuuuuu tag and... my goodness the unknown lore! i had never heard that rsl might have been dealing with illness during house md. or that his family (with salick) is jewish. or about the one date with paltrow. if you know of any sources for these, or have any other lesser known tidbits you feel like sharing i'd love to know more. you seem to know so mcuh

Hello! I have so many points of trivia about RSL. Here are some links:

An interview that was good

An interview from 1991 where he talks about his high school crush and the first time he kissed a girl (it made him nauseous)

An interview he and Molly Ringwald did together in 2003

His mom's obituary

My collection of quotes from RSL, many with sources

My YouTube playlist of publicly available interviews, behind-the-scenes videos, etc.

And a fic I wrote where Wilson and House meet RSL and his fiancee (now wife) Gaby.

He's my #1 blorbo.

He's doing a play with Helen Hunt in Chicago starting in February and I already have tickets and a hotel reservation.

Hi! 😃

Thanks for the links- I did see them. 😉 I compiled every video I found (so far) into one (because tumblr lets us add only one video per post).

All videos come from the BIFA IG page. (link in content source).

Don't have a title, but here's the opening scene. The rest would happen in flashback.

---

When Neil dies, they give Todd the widow’s place at the funeral.

Neil was actually married again when he died, to a nice young man a third of his age, but even that nice young man cedes the spot to Todd.  (It’s entirely possible the nice young man has no clue there’s a widow’s place at a funeral, but Todd knows, as do their friends from Welton, as do their early friends from early days in The City.  Others know it as New York, NYC, the Big Apple, but to Neil and Todd it’s always been The City.) 

Todd’s not planning to give a eulogy – the widow never gives the eulogy – but at a certain point, in the middle of the third round of Does Anyone Else, Todd finds himself standing, eyes on him which he’s never gotten used to, and his mouth opens.

I Knew Him as a Boy is the first volume of poetry to top the New York Times Best Sellers list in a generation.

Lol I was just thinking about this relative to different (fictional) groups who are not humans but do have intelligence/metacognition at that level or greater. I know about "sophont" but it didn't roll off the tongue for me. So I came up with "cognitive beings." Then ended up not even using it in the story, because my character just called everyone "people" whether they were humans or a different kind of cognitive being.

i am on my knees tears running down my face knuckles raw and bleeding and BEGGING people to learn the difference between sentient and sapient

AO3 Wrapped [writer’s ^and vidder's edition]

1. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

This was another year of needing the push of fests to finish and post works. @calaisreno's May prompts 2024 helped a lot, although I didn't go as far with updating The Private Personal Blog of Dr. John H. Watson as I wanted to. I posted seven (very short) chapters for the first eleven prompts. The remaining twenty prompts have been plotted, just not written :( and will take the story to the end of S3, where we wave goodbye entirely to canon. FYI- my notes for that section say:

That’s the end of canon. NO ABOMINABLE BRIDE NO MORIARTY RETURN NO DRUGS RELAPSE NO EURUS - Redbeard was a dog - Victor was a uni friend

Second biggest surprise was how much I absolutely fell in love with Sherlock & Co. I didn't think I'd have another show grab me the way this has. Not had a ton of fannish output yet, but it's likely coming.

2. How many WIP's do you have in your docs for next year?

A gajillion in docs. I keep thinking, "Can put this away; I'll never go back to it," and then immediately having my brain go back to it. Slightly fewer in the vid idea queue, but that's not zero.

3. Your favorite character to write/vid this year?

Great big cuddly squishes for the two John Watsons I wrote, BBC John and Jonk (podcast John). Same person at core, completely different in personality.

Vid: I liked vidding Yasper for Dance the Night, but vidding Ken to a "Xavier" song was also just *chef's kiss: Imma Live Forever

4. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

Not posted yet, but I've written some Mariana from podcast. I adore her and feel I can write her inner self... but am very frustrated that I know nothing about growing up in Spain. Don't know what her relationship with her family is like, what her inside jokes are with Spanish friends about British people/UK, etc. I have some handle (from an outside perspective) on what it might be like to be Hispanic in the US but nothing on being Spanish in London.

5. What's one pairing you want to explore next year?

Sorry not sorry, more than one:

More of BBC poly QPR Sherlock/John and others around them

Podcast Sherlock/John/Mariana

BBC John Watson and James Wilson as exes from secondary school when James was on an exchange program in England

A different deep platonic relationship for BBC Sherlock and "John"

Sherlock Holmes & James Wilson friendship (where James calls Sherlock "Shushy")

BBC Molly Hooper/John Watson taking place after John's gone to prison for assaulting Sherlock in S4. You might not be surprised to learn that their relationship is actually all about Sherlock.

There's also a BBC kinky WIP that ends with Greg Lestrade/Mary Morstan, although it won't really explore that relationship per se.

6. Did you receive any gifts this year?

Yep and they were all great!

King of Anything [Fanvid] for Overboard (1987) by periru3

A triptych of related fics by Vulgarweed: Follow the Lights in Sherlock BBC, Pusherman in Watson and Holmes comic, and Champagne Supernova in Sherlock & Co podcast.

The Final Adventure of a Problematic, Lying Detective (Aka Oklahomo IV) which is an hilarious fic based on a Norwegian parody of Sherlock BBC.

7. Did you do any collaborative works this year?

Nope.

8. What do you listen to while writing?

Nothing while writing. While vidding it's the vid's song over and over and over again.

9. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

In vidding, it's the fun match of the music with Ken sliding slowly down the hood of his truck, and the Mt Rushmore horses being the "fake-ass hoes."

In writing, it's from a blurb that I may or may not ever finish: The sex was glorious, a feedback loop of sensation rather than a race to an outcome, and at one point the woman gasped, "God, Watson, you fuck like a dyke." 

Oh, wait, I wrote that in 2023. What is time?

Thank you @meetinginsamarra for your AO3 Wrapped that inspired this!

[deelaundry]

Lmao, and also this got me thinking. Respectable to whom? I want a life that is respectable to ME and to people who believe in the inherent value and autonomy of all individuals -- the right to be yourself and the responsibility to work for the common good.

But "respectable" to puritanical jerks and fascists? No. Fuck them.

[deelaundry]

Just FYI, the fic Trapped deserves a "John Is an Arsehole" tag on it. Any old-time House fans: it's in the Dark!Wilson vein.

Five Fics Friday: December 6/24

Happy Friday everyone! Hope y'all had a great week, and are looking forward to winding down with some new fics on my radar this week. Enjoy!

RECENT MFLs

Pockets Full of Sunshine by Jaye Harriet (T, 705 w., 1 Ch. || Post S4, Established Relationship, Crack) – What does Sherlock actually keep in his belstaff pockets?

SH-221 by Anonymous (G, 5,358 w., 3 Ch. || Detroit Become Human / Android AU || Dystopian Future, Robots & Androids, Robot/Human Relationships, Science Experiments, Science Fiction, Android Sherlock, Social Issues, Social Commentary, Technology) – The year is 2035 and John Watson is desperately looking for a job, trying to survive in a dystopian world that changed very much with the advent of robot and AI technology. But Mike Stamford might just have the offer he needed: partaking in an experiment with an experimental new android.

Trapped by uCharlie (M, 23,199 w., 25 Ch. || Post S4, Parentlock, Possible Unrequited Love, Family Drama, Thriller, Kidnapping, Kidnapped Sherlock, Unresolved Emotional Tension, Alcoholism, Self-Esteem Issues, Co-Dependency) – Sherlock isn’t happy with the status quo at Baker Street, but he’s afraid to disrupt it. There's little to gain and much to lose. However, he’ll soon be faced with an even tougher decision than he anticipated. “There are things that matter more than adventure.”

You're Not Designed to be Alone by thalialunacy (E, 26,974 w., 31 Ch. || First Kiss/Time, Parentlock, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Toddler Shenanigans, Written as a Serial, Slice of Life, Domestic Fluff, Friends To Lovers, Happy Ending) – A journey from friends to more, told in bite-sized pieces. (for May Prompts 2024)

Spend Valentine's Day with Martin! 💕

🥳

“We are thrilled beyond words that Martin has agreed to host our 20th birthday gala,” says Slapstick director Chris Daniels. “He is known and loved worldwide for a huge variety of iconic roles, but what makes him extra perfect for the festival is that he is charming, witty and a genuine admirer of the comedies and comedians Slapstick champions.”

[deelaundry]

Lol the number of times I've been writing and thought, "Wow this intro is too long," and then realized I can just stop at the end of the intro and make it a short fic 🤣

Also, dialogue-only fics are fabulous for honing your skills while keeping writing time down. Especially with "banter" ships like House/Wilson, John/Sherlock (in all iterations), and from SGA, McKay/anyone.

Sometimes it's worth establishing limits/constraints on a project just so you can complete it, if completion is more important than anything else. Those constraints can lead you into new creative avenues and honing otherwise neglected/unfamiliar skills. (see: writing flash fiction, which is under 1000 or 1500 words depending on where you are. learning to be brief translates to so many other things, making every word have punch, and if you're trying to do month-long events, that brevity may be key to completing the event)

you look great in that frog costume
