And the plot thickens

[starrylizard]

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!

Hehe I think "rout" sounds better. It sounds more like the word. "root" just makes me think of carrots.

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 look forward to it. I already squeed over the five orange pips. It's like working in reverse - I keep finding stuff they've integrated into the BBC series or the movie. I'll have to get the Grenada series sometime. I think I may have seen some of it on telly many years ago, but it's only a vague memory.

If you're too impatient to borrow/buy the DVDs, you can find most of the Granada eps on youtube, and ABC's currently showing them. Monday noon - so not exactly a good time, but you can catch the eps on iview (I almost typed in iplayer ;D ).

Oh cool! Thanks!

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*

When you're up for it I'll rec some awesome pastiches and more obscure adaptations I've managed to get my grubby little hands on. ;) One thing you don't have to worry about it running out of Sherlock-related things to read/watch. XD

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

Okies. I may try watching it on the weekend then. :)

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. :)
