[COMIC STRIPS] Patterns

A few Sherlock comic strips about fic patterns, XKCD-style. (Just don't get me wrong, here, I've read a LOT of fics in this fandom, still reading a lot of them, and the majority of them are really incredibly good, even when they follow either of the two situations described below (sometimes both). Maybe those repetitive patterns are one of the very reasons I love this fandom so much, too. So, anyway, it's just a little affectionate teasing, not serious critique or bashing or anything of the kind.)

Fandom:
BBC Sherlock, rating: R just to be safe (very mild sexual content), artist: me. That should cover it. I hope you'll like them!

So I've noticed most Sherlock fics follow mainly two patterns, in broad lines:

SITUATION ONE:




SITUATION TWO:

GAAAAAAACKT!!! You're a Gackt fan too! <3 Here, if you liked these, maybe you will find the comic strips I made about S.K.I.N. a long time ago relevant to your interests: http://sevenswells.livejournal.com/12269.html ^^

Thank you for your comment! ^^

Jumper!John and his little erection! I'm still cackling.

Also, I've never seen a stick figure sprawl like that before. I'm really impressed.

I agree. +1 for awesome stick!sprawl. Not that the rest of it isn't awesome as well.

"Mad as a small box full of chimpanzees" should also now become common parlance.

BRB, DYING OF LAUGHTER!

OH SO TRUE!

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
IKR? =D Thank you! ^^

[identity profile] as-i-am.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHA the first one is pretty much the story I wrote that you made the mirror art for. ;D

I'm working on the story for you in return btw! Real life/work has just been a biiiitch lately. *falls over*

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I knooow, hush, because your fic makes the first strip completely irrelevant and totally not funny! It does follow the first pattern, but it's still incredibly awesome (case in point, in fact: as I said, even if some fics follow these patterns, it doesn't mean they're not fantastic reads ^^)

Thank you sweetie, and don't worry: believe me, I know how much RL can interfere with SRS FIC BSNS, so I'll be waiting, no problem at all. Again, I'm already over the moon that you've accepted this little trade with me, I truly worship your writing and it's a great honor for me!

I hope RL will get better for you though! <3 *sends love across ocean*

Ahaha, so true! And hilarious, thank you!

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks to you for the compliments! ^^

[identity profile] suddenlyflying.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, I love this! It's amazing how distinctly John and Sherlock your drawings are, despite them being stick figures.

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, especially Sherlock translates effortlessly into a stick figure, it fits him so well XD

[identity profile] jbs-teeth.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry... Was this supposed to summarize 95% of all Sherlock fan fiction ever written? Because it does. Concisely. And hilariously.

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, thank you, I'm extremely flattered! ^^

::uncontrollable giggling::

You speak truth. And draw adorable stick figures.

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, thank you, I put a lot of love in those stick figures XD

TThese are so funny :) and yay for sprawling stick man!

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Sprawling stick man was quite a hit I see, it's nice to see your efforts rewarded! ^^

[identity profile] alizarin-nyc.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha ha ha, OMG so true and so wonderful. Sprawling stick Sherlock for the win!

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the strips, and especially Sprawling Stick Sherlock! =D

Ce gros fou-rire que je viens de me taper, c'est assez terrible :") c'est juste parfait ! Surtout la seconde qui m'a vraiment fait éclater de rire. "DOES THAT MAKE ME GAY" = c'est *la* ligne qu'on retrouve partout. J'adore. xD

Hahaha, merci baby, tes réactions me font toujours plez ^^ Eh, oué, le "Does that make me gay" c'est tellement typique, même quand ils sont tous les deux engagés jusqu'au cou dans leur relation et que moults fluides corporels ont déjà été échangés plusieurs fois, eh ben c'est quand même LA question qui revient. Faut pas chercher à comprendre hein XD

So true! XD

Hahaha, thanks, that is a really appropriate emoticon!

[identity profile] kikainausagi.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
hahaha. *cackling with glee* Those are both really cute, and true, which makes them better. XD

Thank you very much! =D

"BROLOM" = BEST SOUND FX EVER

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL THANKS! XD

Thank you for such great compliments! ^^

BROLOM is my new favourite word xD

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHA never knew it would get such popularity, honestly! Thank you! ^^

[identity profile] eightnoon.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
This is so true and we have no shame!

And seeing Sherlock's belly-line in the second one just cracks me up.

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
This is so true and we have no shame!

I know, and I mean it when I say the teasing's nothing but affectionate, I love this fandom also *because* of these tropes, not in spite of them ^^

And seeing Sherlock's belly-line in the second one just cracks me up.

HAHAHA I laughed a little myself as I was drawing it -- the stick-figure fits him so well, it's uncanny; I'd totally watch it as a cartoon on TV "The Adventures of Stick-Figure Sherlock".

Thank you for your comment, dear! <3

Funny and totally epic

THEY'RE TOTALLY MY FAVOURITE PATTERNS TOO! XD

Haha, thanks!

[identity profile] archea2.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Christ. I'll never look at S/J pron again without thinking "BROLOM". Well done!

[identity profile] sevenswells.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL that's gotta be all kinds of inconvenient!

Thank you! =D
