Holmes x Wilde pastiche

I have been wanting to write this up. Since I had a Wilde related class, I looked into him and his connection to Doyle and Holmes. So I found several pastiches that deal with Wilde. I'll make another post about the other pastiches that I found.

I read Study in Scarlet Marquis: Sherlock Holmes and the Trials of Oscar Wilde and it was one of my favourite reads this year.

Read the book a few weeks ago, needed some time to pour my adoration into words for the book. Long story short: Mary Pagones REALLY knows Holmes, Watson and Wilde.

I think I am part of the target demographic. I'm a lit student obsessed with queer and Victorian literature, have studied both Wilde and Holmes. So I am always a bit wary of literary works that deal with these, I think I'm a bit picky when it comes to these, the pickiness coming from a place of love.

All in all: read it!!! Here's the link to get it.

And then I found this book from an author I've never heard of, who had written horse books (?) and they pulled it off. With the delicate portrayal of Holmes and Watson's relationship, with Wilde and Bosie's character, with little nods to the knowing audience. It was amazing.

Holmes clapped his hands together. “Now, Professor, I think you’d better tell us what prompted you to perform your ‘dashed silly prank.’” Holmes smiled genially, but his dark eyes glittered. “I shouldn’t think such actions fall within the purview of the Patent Office.”

“Indeed not.” Moriarty scratched a spot behind his ear, feeling like a schoolboy caught stealing answers to exams. “The truth is there’s been a sort of sophomoric rivalry between myself and Lord Nettlefield, going back a few years. It started with a paper I gave at the Royal Society concerning the dynamics of an asteroid, an interesting mathematical problem I’d been tinkering with. During the discussion afterward, I made some sharpish remarks about amateur scientists, with reference to a pamphlet put out by his lordship. He took offense and did me a similar disservice in return later on. When I realized the spherical engine advertised in the Exhibition catalog lacked the proper complement of indicators, I saw an opportunity to supply a small corrective. I meant no harm to any person or thing other than his lordship’s self-regard.”

Holmes asked, “At what time did you perform your act of sabotage?”

Moriarty frowned at the harsh term. “I entered the Exhibition Galleries at about eight thirty. I had the indicator and tools in my coat pockets. It took me about twenty minutes to attach the device, after which, I left.”

“How did you gain entrance at that hour?” Holmes asked.

“I told the guard I was from the Patent Office.” Moriarty chuckled. “It’s extraordinary how effective that is. I signed a false name in the book.”

“Yes,” Holmes said, not sharing his amusement. “I recognized the handwriting, when I revisited the logbook. I had pages of your notes to acquaint me with your style.”

“You have a remarkable eye for detail,” Moriarty said. “I’m impressed.”

Holmes accepted the accolade with a slow blink, like a cat.

Geez, Mycroft. Though I guess your brother had it coming from all those times he pulled similar stunts on poor Watson.

Holmes x Wilde pastiches

Pastiches are literary works in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period. Pieces that are similar to the Holmes stories that continue the narrative are pastiches.

I'm writing a paper on Goncharov right now and I can sooth your nerves that the difference between Gonch and whatever's happening on tiktok is not the fake media. Fake media and fake people and fake history will always and has always existed. Neither is the collective storytelling.

The difference is that we made Goncharov real by imitating a fandom for it. Like yes mass hallucinating a movie was fun and an incredible feat of collective creativity. But the *way* we created Goncharov is what will always make it special.

We, as a website, spontaneously created a perfect pastiche of fandom, one that was so identical to any other fandom behaviour it made the movie seem real.

As I quote thetwistyoucantresist in my paper, “maybe the real Goncharov was the Fandom we made along the way”.

Goncharov isnt the fake movie its the fake fandom, that's what special and unique and one of a kind
