I am still bummed that they killed of the other Time Lords! I want more Time Lords running around! If the LOOOOMS can make that happen for me, I am more than willing to back your campaign!
that's pretty much where 2 and 3 came from. Then again, 1 and 4 come from the show itself
#2 was pretty directly addressed on the show, too. They didn't specifically mention cocaine in the drugs bust scene, but there was a definite implication that Sherlock was a drug user. (Maybe the quibble comes from the difference in 'drug user' vs. 'drug addict'?)
Honestly, I think Sherlock and Watson plugged into the Generic Buddy Cop trope would make for an excellent fic! But that's just it: they still have to be Sherlock and Watson, otherwise what relation does it have to the show? (Sherlock kicking ass and taking names while Watson stands off the side and delivers caustic one-liners would be endlessly amusing.)
For me, I'm less attached to the particulars of the scene/setting/set-up of a show than I am to the particulars of characterization. Especially in a show like Sherlock, where the characters are the premise. As long as a story has the characters behaving as I imagine they would, I'm not too picky about what else the author changes.
Lestrade and Donovan as buddy cops would be pretty epic. I can imagine the fun times they had before Sherlock came along... :P
(Also, yes, it's totally Homestuck. I'm starting to think that a significant percentage of my continuing interest in that comic is the interplay between Hussie and his fandom. It's kind of fascinating.)
What, exactly, about the fandom for his show has got his knickers in a twist? Or do you think it's a case of him just enjoying toying with the fanbase for his own kicks?
