Title: We Can't Stop
Author: sevenswells
Artist/Song: "We Can't Stop" by Bastille (Miley Cyrus cover)
Fandom: BBC Sherlock
Summary: Sherlock, John and Mary make my heart bleed. Although this vid is more about Sherlock and his relationship to John that's bound to change since John is marrying Mary; so it's sort of slashy and sort of angsty idek leave me alone
Rating: Gen
Spoilers: This is pretty much all of the Sign of Three that I crammed into one fanvid, it's even in chronological order
Notes: I sort of slap-dashed this fanvid together because I really, really wanted to make a fanvid about this glorious episode and I really, really wanted to use this particular Bastille gem with it
Made with Windows Live Movie Maker, it was the first time I used it and it was very limited so the editing is a bit basic -- but still, the song matches completely

I'm so spoiled! So so spoiled!

Previous (mainly fics) rec posts here, here and here FYI

I keep accumulating Sherlock fan stuff I want to rec, and I can never find the time to put up one big post, so I've decided I'll do it bits by bits. Here below is, as it is announced in the title of this post, fanvids, art recs and a fanmix rec.

( I never knew daylight could be so violent )

I'm a bit sick of people whining bitterly (particularly on Dumblr) about how Sherlock fans are only interested in porn and slash.
That is not true. Not that there's anything wrong with being only interested in porn and slash in my opinion, but it is. Not. True.
I'll be the first to admit that I love my porn. Most of my rec posts contain fics where Sherlock and John are going at it like rabbits, because I'm a sexual being, and that's the prism with which I view the world; I won't apologize for it.
But as it turns out, my favourite fic in the whole fandom is rosa_acicularis 's The Anatomist. It's wonderfully written, it's not centered on a romantic relationship, there is no porn in it and not even hints of Sherlock/John. And I'm the biggest porn enthusiast and romantic schmoop I know. Go figure.
I can't even think of one fandom where people won't ask for moar porn in their comments and where porny fics are not more popular than plotty ones.
But I think we're actually doing fairly well in the Sherlock fandom. It's not perfect, I guess no fandom is, but it really is not that bad.
There are dark fics, casefics, funny comedy fics with no romantic relationship whatsoever, fics where Sherlock is 100% asexual and not touching John one bit -- or anyone else for that matter... and I know for a fact that some of them are quite popular, too. Like it or not, there is diversity in the Sherlock fandom, maybe more than in some others. Of course there is a crushing majority of Sherlock/John slash (and I'm the first to support it), but I don't agree with the picture those bitter fans are depicting where there is absolutely no place or recognition for anything else.
In this fandom, I wrote one fic where there was S/J porn (after several paragraphs of idiotic comedy involving spray bottles and giant crabs), one fic that was mainly about food with a bit of slash in the end with nothing more explicit than a kiss between Sherlock and John, one fic about Mycroft's brotherly relationship to Sherlock with a mini-squinty hint at a possible romantic relationship between Sherlock and John, and one ficlet about nothing in particular, just Sherlock and John drinking tea on New Year's Day.
I consider that they all got a good deal of appreciation from readers, each at their own level, and I didn't even get one comment about making any of the ones that didn't contain sex "more porny", and I didn't feel any underlying frustration in any comment either.
So I don't know what the people who complain about that are actually doing, but maybe, MAYBE they're doing it wrong, and it has nothing to do with rabidly horny fans looking desperately for slash and porn everywhere.

Sorry about the rant, but I got really annoyed in ways I didn't even expect and I had to write about it.

Hello Gleeks of my f-list, it's that time of the year where I ask for Puck/Kurt fic recs again. Do you have any for me? Gimme gimme pleaaaaase!

As for the Sherlockians of my f-list, I wanted to ask: has anyone read this book:



And is it any good? I started reading the beginning at the bookshop and saw that Watson was married (okay) and had at least a child with Mary Morstan (wait, what?) which put me off a bit and made me replace it on the bookshelf. But the thing is, I usually like Anthony Horowitz's books and since I'll be travelling soon, I need something to read on the plane; I'm just kind of reluctant to read something that would kill any hope of slash between Holmes and Watson (don't judge me, I'm a hopeless fangirl)...

tl;dr I need a fellow fangirl/boy's opinion on this plz.

I originally prepared this fanmix for a genderbent Sherlock/John fic which I wanted to write and which is still lying around in bits on my hard drive, but then I don't know if I'll ever get the time to finish writing it. Anyway, the fanmix is pretty much standalone, since to me it tells the whole story of girl!Sherlock and girl!John, up until the Empty House. Also note that the title of this fanmix (and my head!canon of girlSherlock and girl!John) has been inspired by this drawing by naive_wanderer which I consider to be the most successful representation of genderbent Sherlock and John to date.
The cover of the fanmix is a bit weird -- I'm not very good at those :(

( Dès... les premières... lueurs... oh je sombre )

A little porny thing I drew to celebrate the fact that I had 150 followers on tumblr. I won't do it with every 50 people more deciding to follow the tumblr, but I happen to like the number 150 -- it's the number of the issue in which Mytho will premiere, hee.

So, anyway: Sherlock/? (it can be whoever you want, really. I'd personnally go for Sherlock/John but you can have fun imagining to whom the hand in the picture belongs); Not Safe For Work, NC-17.

( A blueprint Of the pleasure In me )

And done.

So, as I said in the previous post, art trade with pollums , she asked for Sherlock with short Cumberhair (reference here), and Sherlock/John of course. I hope you'll like it dear, and that I haven't overworked it too much ^^;;;

Preview:

Fandom: BBC Sherlock, pairing: Sherlock/John, rating: NC-17, NSFW, made by moi.

( Baby, can you handle this? )
