Well, the original reason I began this was - it's a really long story, I'll link to the posts down below if you're feeling ambitious - but it required me to stage Shakespeare and still have enough relatives left to make up an audience.
The only real way I could do this in my head was make it completely bizarre and unrealistic and imagine this huge country home and just flood it with a cast of thousands - or about a hundred or so, as I have John pegging it. I have a group of core characters both made up and kidnapped from other places, and then there's just going to be a lot of faceless background noise.
My story Wrong features Sherlock and Mycroft being held hostage together...then there was some back and forth which I encapsulated here http://impulsereader.livejournal.com/15295.html Then, the fic grew - and grew - and grew. I've written 7000 words and I haven't even scratched the surface of the first Christmas let alone the second - and I'm still pondering putting some ACD storyline action into each of the seasons.
