Canon-based fic (with a preference for H/W)

[plumora.livejournal.com]

I've just finished reading all of the novels, and I was curious about fic taking place during the events of any of the novels or spanning the novels, or even the stories. Holmes/Watson is preferred, although I would be interested to see anything about minor characters - any of Holmes' clients or the victims of the canon, or the Irregulars. I don't really care about genre, and any rating is fine. Recommendations for any good comms/sites as a starting point for good fic would be appreciated, as well. :)

Your tags are just fine, but the more, the better! They make it more likely for someone to find your post later. I just added one for the irregulars, and Holmes/Watson.

This author has some book!fics: liquidfic.net/katie.html

Thanks! I wasn't sure whether I should add those tags, since it was a more general search. :)

I was cruising the internet for information on Victorian street arabs and found a reference to this book. I never even knew it existed!

"Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars: The Fall of the Amazing Zalindas" by Tracy Mack and Michael Citrin, 2006. Summery is given as follows...

"Wiggins is again the leader of a gang of street urchins. Other major characters include Ozzie, a scrivener's apprentice; Rohan, an Indian boy; Elliot, from an Irish tailor's family; Pilar, a Gypsy girl; and little Alfie. The Irregulars help solve the mysterious deaths of three tightrope walkers at a circus."

I so have to check out this book. I thought you might like to hear about it as well since you mentioned the Irregulars. (Doyle so under used them.)

Thanks so much! I'll definitely check that out. I would love to read anything about the Irregulars - their perspective on their work with Holmes, their life after they grow too old to be an Irregular, whatever! My maternal side wants to hug them, for sure. ♥

Hey, Tracy is doing a series of Baker Street Irregulars. Okay, so they are kids' books (age 9-12) but I'll probably go read them too! I never seen much written about the Irregulars.

Anyway...
