☺️ hi everyone! I stumbled upon a happy Swedish news article to brighten your day that I will now quickly translate the main part.

Otters increasing in Sweden: “a success tale”.

- the otters are increasing in rapid pace, reports (source). The last 10 years the amount has doubled from about 2000 to 4000. (And then they go into how and why).

🥰🥹 Yay. I love otters. 🦦

I hope you have a good, calm, Sunday with moments of contentment and potential joy.

Lestrade. One shot. Pls.

I’ve been forgetting to post Art again.

Greg/Grace Lestrade from @doriana-gray-games’s IF

[doriana-gray-games]

The artist and I can't decide (they like one and I like the other...) You shall have to be the tiebreaker 💃

They will be more customisable later—but think of this as the base we work with ✨

[doriana-gray-games]

are you looking for any additional writers / coders wrt your new Gothic academia game?

✨🤔

Probably not this minute. Buuut I am always casually looking for someone that might fit the project perfectly.

Coding in this case would be c++ and unreal engine though, so not choicescript. As for writing stuff, I might commission editor/structure help later, but not at this moment ❤️

(Today is mostly a Sherlock day though 😌 I wanna wrap up all the scenes on my Watson AU knight minigame. Got to maximise the longing 🫦.)

[doriana-gray-games]

I have a few fave IFs/books like that—ones where I just love the story/characters/writing so much I can reread it word for word and so I’m so flattered that my writing has resonated with you that much!

Out of curiosity, what are your fave IFs?

But I wanted to show you this early (customisable) MC sketch that I love so much from our lovely character artist (@arrapso) 🥰

(also not sure I would say mainly, I mean well, maybe? One is my job and one is my high focus hobby... not sure what to call it tbh 😅... I LOVE THEM BOTH OK)

[doriana-gray-games]

As a big fan of oblivious Sherlock, please tell me there's going to be a scene where MC agrees to dance with the ROs only as an excuse to survey the venue lol.

Yes 🙂‍↕️ I am trying to fit in good excuses for doing most romance things, as I know many Sherlock's are only interested in the work 😆

Or vice related ones, like going out to the balcony for a 🚬 and meeting someone there... 🕵️

what's the best, most iconic johnlock quote?

Well I will approach this in two ways. ACD Canon quotes and BBC Sherlock quotes.

ACD Canon : 

“It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.” 

“You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.” 

“I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of daily life.” 

“You’re not hurt, Watson? For God’s sake, say that you are not hurt!“ It was worth a wound – it was worth many wounds – to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.” 

“I have never loved, Watson, but if I did and if the woman I loved had met such an end, I might act even as our lawless lion-hunter has done. Who knows?” – The Devil’s Foot. “By the Lord, it is as well for you. If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive. Now, sir, what have you to say for yourself?” – The Three Garridebs.

“The relations between us in those latter days were peculiar. He was a man of habits, narrow and concentrated habits, and I had become one of them…..I was a whetstone for his mind. I stimulated him.”

“I am lost without my Boswell.”

“…If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city…. ”

BBC Sherlock:

“You’ve got a boyfriend then? Which is fine by the way.” “I know it’s fine.”

“I am happy to play the fool. For you.”

“You, it’s always you John Watson. You keep me right.”

“I don’t mind.” “Anytime.”

“I’m glad no one saw that.” “What?” “You, ripping my clothes off in a darkened swimming pool. People might talk.”

“Take my hand.” “Now people will definitely talk.”

“You look sad, when you think he can’t see you.”

“I have a date” “that’s what I was suggesting”

“It(Sherlock Watson) could work.”

“Dinner?” “Starving.”

“You are a great boyfriend. Sherlock Holmes is a very lucky man…Don’t make me compete with Sherlock Holmes.”

“I’m his doctor.” “And only a fool argues with his doctor”

“The stuff you wanted to say but never did. Say it now” “No. I can't”

“There’s something I’ve always wanted to say but never have”

“You being all mysterious with your–cheekbones. And turning your coat collar up so you look cool.”

“I’d be lost without my blogger.”

“I was so alone. And I owe you so much.”

“But look how you care about John Watson. Your damsel in distress.”

There are many. But I have a tendency to forget quotes when someone asks for it. Feel free to add more.

Jolly Good: Tea and Scones

I'm Gower, and I am about three million words deep into a wildly interactive interactive novel written in ChoiceScript titled Jolly Good: Tea and Scones, set in a comic world inspired by Wodehouse.

It's about three million words long at this point, and it's the follow-up to Tally Ho and Jolly Good: Cakes and Ale, published by Choice of Games.

Those who know me best know that I do not leap idly into social media, but at the same time, I wanted to build a community and make connections, because writing a game like this is quiet, solitary work. I'll be posting here regularly as I work to finish this game (I have about 1.5 chapters to go) over this year, giving updates.

If you like the sound of a very, very long piece of interactive fiction which is designed to be cozy, funny, and deeply responsive to your choices, check back here--and check out my Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/c/TheNobleGasesClub) for peeks at my work in progress, additional fiction, musings on what it is like to write long-form, choice-heavy interactive fiction.

Hi Dori!!

I have a question that just doesn't leave my head: will there also be some scenes where the ROs make MC angry? Like maybe talk to another person, or dancing with anyone else, or drinking with another (I'm looking at you inspector........)? Thanks for answering! And sorry if it's spoilery, I just can't wait for the next chapter!🥰💖

Yes.

Mc will have the chance to be territorial, jealous, and paranoid—all that dramatic stuff—(just like the ROs are, mostly W) at the ball 😘
