1) I need a Sherlock icon, I think? Since I've been reccing (and reading) so many Sherlock fics. Of Mycroft, maybe. But then most of the fics I've read are Sherlock and John.

2) I've been making it a point to cross-post more, even though I find it a bit of a pain... But I don't want to leave DW because people I knew in Lj migrated over and yet I have so much attachment to my LJ f-list. >_>

3) After going to the library a few times I've (finally!) concluded that I'm looking in the wrong place and there's no commercially published writing guide for writing a slashy (aka m/m) original fic that tells you how to fit in a mystery plot while ironing out the pace and tone.

4) My sister has decided that we should visit Britain. Problem? There are too many things we'd like to see, as our list of priorities sort of goes: British Museum, London, Stonehenge, Jane Austen's house, trains, castles, not to mention the 'let's visit Harry Potter film locations' squee. Right now, everything is tentative (depending on finances and time off work), but... Britain, why are you so much bigger on the inside than it appears from the outside?

Tho my travel guides (from the library) have such lovely, lovely, picturesque, um, pictures.

Let me know if you do come over - Jane Austen's house is my neck of the woods in Southampton, and London is nearby and where I am holidays. UK isn't so much bigger, we just pack more into small areas (and there's lots of history to pack).

You could do a lot worse than London, Oxford (lots of HP sets) and a day or two further south (Winchester, JA house)

That's really cool. Definitely must make a trip there then! ^__^

Exactly! Very economical too, heh.

I still check LJ, for what it's worth? But I do appreciate the crossposting since these days I check my DW reading list more often.

I was just grumbling, don't worry. :) But it does strike me that my DW reading list moves a lot slowly than my LJ f-list.
