Why they banned Sherlock from the D&D table.
—sherlock, you didn’t make the saving throw. your pirate king is dead.
—he is not because i say so.
—that’s against the rules.
—WELL THEN THE RULES ARE WRONG.

#WHAT IS SHERLOCKS #is it an official tamagotchi #or one of those knock offs like i had #where you could choose any animal
I—I just thought about how after Reichenbach, no one’ll take care of Sherlock’s Tamagotchi, and it’ll probably die.
Now I feel like I’m going to cry, this is so ludicrous. AGGRESSIVELY GOES TO WORK OUT INSTEAD.

My best friend’s Tamagotchi, Shimashimatchi, is dead.

Psst—in the AU where John and Sherlock are “Dad” and “Other Dad” to a little freckled ginger boy named Jeremy, Sherlock got a big homemade card reading “Happy Other Dad’s Day” and breakfast in bed this morning.
Holidays are vastly overrated, but it’s safe to say that Sherlock was very pleased.
What happened with John in 2005 to make him important enough for Sherlock to want to write letters to and refer to him as a boyfriend to Victor, instead of having him just be an another anonymous hookup? And does John know that Basil and Sherlock are the same person?–bluebird-girl
The only person who understands any of this cosmic irony is Mycroft. As for the rest, that sounds like the subject of another flashback. (To be fair, Sherlock would’ve told his creepering ex-boyfriend rapist to fuck off no matter what. There’s just a grain of truth here.)
Has Sherlock realized his John and Army Doctor John From The Gay Bar are the same? And has he realized he's the model John is reminiscing about?–Anonymous
Sherlock’s memory is pretty fucked up because of Flashback #3. See also: this text. There are numerous references throughout Texts to John From The Gay Bar, however. The letters Sherlock wrote in rehab (interlude 13), for example…
We have literally been setting up that storyline since the beginning of Texts—talk about waiting around for a payoff, man alive.
iamilex said: I’m more curious about the “other boyfriend” thing. What exactly did he tell Victor and why? And who/what was this “other boyfriend” and what did Sherlock mean by “long-distance to an unfathomable extent”? I feel like I missed something…
The “other boyfriend” is a largely unexplored subplot, although there have been subtle hints about it for quite a while now. It should become much clearer over time, I think. A few years after Mr. Trevor’s death, after Victor recovered from his mental breakdown, Victor sought out Sherlock and wanted to start over. Sherlock claimed that he had already found someone else—and he wasn’t exactly lying. It’s complicated, and sad. You’ll see.
Remember when Interlude #6 came out and I got this question about something Sherlock says to Victor? Yeah. Like a year and half ago.
Yeah…
Hey, I really enjoy your and Chel's writing (especially Hounds and Victor's death ), and I was wondering if you have the time/inclination if you could tell us something about your writing process? How do you go about creating characters/ plotting/ actually writing? Do you and Chel ever disagree about the directions things take? Got any writing tips?–Anonymous
1. Thank you for the kind words, anon.
2. The writing process tends to begin with private roleplay, but not always. I play Sherlock, Lestrade, and Moriarty, so Chelsea plays off of me with everyone else. I’ve already written about how Victor came to be: we never planned for him to be included, and he evolved naturally as a dark version of John. Moran was just based on ACD canon and needing a foil for my Moriarty. For miscellaneous characters in case files, those were based on ACD canon as well.
3. We both “actually write” in wildly different ways. It takes me fucking forever to do anything. For example, interlude 15 (Victor’s death) required two solid months of writing with a rough sketch of a roleplay scene to go off of. I will write a draft, scrap it, write the next draft, scrap that, write another draft, and so on until I get what I want. It’s tedious and I don’t recommend it. Chelsea, on the other hand, writes competently from the get-go. She works very quickly, too, as long as she is inspired.
4. Do we disagree on story stuff? Sometimes, but I’ll defer to Chelsea for the most part. She knows what she’s doing. We have very good chemistry as writers overall. John and Sherlock’s banter is relatively easy to write because of that.
5. Practice, practice, practice. You can’t be great before you’re good, before you’re decent, before you’re mediocre, before you’re awful. I brute-forced an ability to write because I’m not a natural at anything and I was tired of feeling pointless. Even so, my chosen style for Sherlock’s narrative gets shit on sometimes. (My natural style is much closer to Chelsea’s with John, which is why I chose to make Sherlock different.) So don’t let criticism get you down, either.

This just dawned on me, but can we talk about how I directed a prospective employer to Texts, which is basically an interactive fanfiction, as a resume credential—and then they hired me??
Who says fandom’s a useless pastime?

Texts is so close to 6,500 followers. It is surreal.
