Like mad. Seriously. I have this massive *flail-hands* plot that keeps getting more and more intricate (for me) and I just need to somehow get it all on paper.
It'll probably be a while before I can get it all down, but I think this may even turn out well. Sherlock/Inception. Who woulda thunk it?
I think I'll seriously need a Brit-pick though. It's times like these I realise Australians just mix up British and American words as they like. I never know which ones are which. Ha!

There's a couple of people who've volunteered to be Britpickers HERE at

But it is so true that we naturally use some American and some British words and others are just interchangeable.
Like we use Truck not Lorry, but we use Boot not Trunk and lolly rather than candy. We do know what they all mean though and we don't really get hung up on it.
The one I'm never sure of is when it comes to things we sit on. Couches, setis, armchairs, etc. I have no idea which country uses what.
Thanks for the link. I also think I remember there being a ffew britpickers on the Sherlock BBC comm, so I may call on them.
Btw, I am reading the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle works and I am thoroughly wrapped in them. How can I have never read them before? \o/

You have had a deprived childhood m'dear. I read them when I was in year 7/year 8, and first saw the Granada series (which you really should check out if you haven't seen them) in year 8.
But, oh you're in for a treat with these books. They're brilliant. They're not literature - you can't microscopically analyze them, but the plots and characters are so gripping. You'll also find as you read that a lot of the public conceptions about Sherlock Holmes (ie Moriarty as his arch enemy, Irene Adler's importance) are based such a small part of the overall canon. It's amazing how certain things have gone overlooked whilst other details are magnified to such a great extent.

I think I'll rad the books first and then hit the other TV versions. Keep spreading out the Sherlock love until the next BBC series rolls around. :)
Does iView let you download or just stream? I've never actually tried it, but my net in my room is wireless, so it's pretty bad about streaming things.
*dances about in Sherlock happiness*

Unfortunately iView's only streaming. I have a wireless and it holds up fine though.

And I'd certinaly be open to such recs. If I can ever drag myself away from vidding Sherlock, I'm gonna settle in and read more. *g* New interests are fun. I'm kinda an all or nothing girl at times. :)

I don't really have time to read Sherlock fic but I really enjoyed the series! If you don't have any joy finding a Britpicker I'd be happy to help! (Although after writing so much SPN fic I now spell and punctuate in Yank even when I don't mean to!)

Thanks for the Britpick offer. I'll keep you in mind if I can't find someone less busy.
I now spell and punctuate in Yank even when I don't mean to!
Oh sad. I refuse to punctuate or spell American, I just always tried to use American terminology. :)
