Sit Rep

[impulsereader]

You certainly are a prepared lot! Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to detail your candles/torches/flashlights for me!

While I do see a pattern of sorts to the responses, I'm going to have to go with 'varies wildly' in the end. So Sherlock will not, magically, somehow know where to find the candles. The safety issue I cannot help in this case. Oddly, though I'm still writing in the 'you can imagine' verse where J&S are firmly of the epic bff breed, I'm typoing John into a treat, Sherlock is suddenly dropping to his knees in front of John, and now I have a roomful of dancing candlelight! None of this is actually romantic in context, yet somehow I keep looking at what I'm typing and thinking, 'hm. the shippers are going to have a field day with that.'

Have spent the morning tramping around downtown Toronto and am having a bit of a sitdown before setting off for what I hope will be a good cemetery. It certainly has a good name - Toronto Necropolis and Crematorium. Hopefully pictures later.

Oh the cemetery sounds wonderful! I do love graveyards *realises that sounds creepy and just shrugs*
And as for your efforts towards Johnlock ... yes, we will have a field day. Especially if Sherlock is dropping to his knees whilst they are surrounded by candlelight ;)

Meh. I've officially tramped through too many graveyards taking pictures to even pretend it's abnormal to do so at this point. This was a nice one, there should be pictures soon.

Hee, see the issue is that I'm not really making an effort at Johnlock, but some of the language takes on new meanings if you're fond of the ship. And that's fine, but sometimes I do think my brain gets a little carried away with the subtext. It almost feels unfair, like I'm teasing you.

Oh, btw, LJ's suggestions for replacing Johnlock are: John lock, John-lock, and johnnycake. So I am totally not the only one doing this!

*grins* I've had a quick look at the pcitures - they are gorgous. I'll comment properly when I'm not trying to do five hundred things at once :)

If Sherlock is kneeling in front of John, his grandmere will undoubtedly be very amused!

He really just did it so he could pick the lock without having to concentrate on remaining upright while doing it (what with the severe blood loss and all) but people will talk!

I hope the weather is nice there! And that the cemetery had some interesting views. I do love an old cemetery. They seem to be more interesting than newer ones.

As for your fic - subtext is everything. *g* Then it can be as shippy as your readers want it to be.

Thank you!

It has been nice so far, but I enjoy a crispness to my Autumnal days, so others might complain a bit. There seems to be a low-level threat of rain for the duration but so far just a very little this evening which didn't last long. But I have an umbrella, a water-proof jacket, and I don't melt with the application of water like some witches I know...

The cemetery was lovely. I'm uploading pictures now and will hope to have them up soon.

Ah, and yes, I agree.about the subtext and I actually think my brain sticks these little things in just for fun. It's not like I take them out, I do have the ability to backspace after all. :-)
