Recs for August
Aug. 12th, 2011 07:30 amPosting may be light here for the next few weeks, because I'm currently finishing up some long fics and getting them betaed. Meanwhile, here are some other shiny things to keep people occupied:
1) Sherlockmas: Summer of Sherlock

THE GAME IS ON!

A couple of fics of mine will be appearing in this at some point (both new pairings for me), but there are already a number of good fics there, including a very moving backstory for Lestrade by fengirl.
2) Further Interest: the Other Half of Sherlock Holmes
I know a number of my readers enjoy femslash and reading/writing about the female characters in Sherlock, so can I recommend Further Interest. This describes itself as "a community for recs, fic posts, and discussion of women and gender issues in Arthur Conan Doyle's original canon and all its variations." If you've got fics or recs suitable for going there, can you also post them, to help develop the community.
3) BBC Writer's Room
I recently came across this interesting resource for writers, which included shooting scripts for a number of BBC TV drama episodes. Among them is the shooting script for "Blind Banker". I know this is the episode of Sherlock that people can't stand, but I found it quite interesting technically to see how it got changed during shooting and how the actions we see on screen are being described in words.
