Sick Holmes

I'm looking for a specific fic I've lost track of. It was on ff.net, but now I can't find it. It was set in the book/Granada universe.
Anyway, it was a story where Holmes had some sort of stomach upset, and Watson had to give him a series of enemas to help him. It was totally non-sexual, friendship, with Watson helping him and comforting him. It was wonderfully written, really capturing the kind of embarrassment and awkwardness you'd imagine they would feel in such a situation. I know this is a bit of an odd story request, but does it sound familiar? Cheers, Tes

There was a story like that featured on that website that makes fun of fanfiction, they really ripped into it. The author was quite rightly upset and removed her story from the internet. A friend pointed it out to me when we were talking about rare kinks and I thought it a shame she'd been harrassed like that. Was it one where Sherlock was given a lye enema that made him scream while unconcious? If so, that story is now long gone.

That's really sad. :( Why can't we all just get along?

What assholes. They have no right to degrade a writer like that. This sort of thing shatters confidence and is deeply hurtful.

I wish I could somehow comfort the author. :(

I've been through the same thing and it stops me putting a lot of my fic online now.

I know it doesn't mean much because it's virtual, but here it goes...*hugs*

Alas, it's not even available through the wayback machine. The few bits on the sarcasm post seem well done.

Some people just can't deal with medical details.

Unfortunately, things like this, or fandom wank where fans attack other fans, are just part of net life. If we could wipe them out, we would, but that would make us just as bad :/

I would have read the hell out of that story!
