Current mood:

Gobsmacked

Multiple interpretations of canon? In MY fandom?
Warnings for homophobia with a side of sexism and probably various other -isms that I'm not entirely sure I have a name for! Also, massive amounts of jaw-droppingly over-the-top condescension.

Alexds1 is a fan of original recipe Sherlock Holmes, which is the only version that matters! Alexds1 has a problem with adaptations of literary works. And people who enjoy those adaptations. And people who view those adaptations as legitimate works in their own right. And people whose interpretations of creative works differ from Alexds1's. But Alexds1 especially has a problem with anyone who dares to speculate about Sherlock Holmes's sexuality, which is spelled out totally unambiguously in the original source material!

It doesn't take long for the pwnage to begin.

	Ooh. How is Watson in that? I've read pastiches that have a more Nigel Bruce feel and I want to avoid that if at all possible. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Katie Forsythe's stuff often deals with the contemporary attitudes. "Full of Grace," in particular, deals explicitly with the Oscar Wilde trial. Her fic masterlist is here: http://katieforsythe.livejournal.com/13726.html "Full of Grace" is most of the way down the page. It's the second story under "Hope." (Reply to this)(Parent)
