OK - this is good! I'm honestly and truly almost done! woo hoo! I may be posting before the end of the week!

The scary part is that I think what I want to do to celebrate once I am done is go over here - http://acd-holmesfest.livejournal.com/569.html - sign up for it, and try my hand at some ACD fic. This is absolutely terrifying to me. I'm not sure I should make my first attempt for a challenge, so I might try a little piece out on you guys first.

I'm just hopping on and off here, I owe some of you thoughtful replies and I'm behind on my friends page, but things are a bit nuts at the moment. I'll hopefully be online tomorrow evening and be able to play catch up.

Oh yeah.....I ended up using multiple.....I just couldn't choose in the end....

Claude gestured to the tea tray. “You can just sit and visit, John, I have what I need for the pose and I’ll just be doing studies today, getting your individual features. You’re ready?”

“Yes, go on, commence the creepy artistic staring. I can take it.”

“A brave man indeed,” Claude responded with a grin, “to take on all these Holmeses and their creepy artistic staring!”

John grinned back. “I am reliably informed that the group noun for Holmeses is an eccentricity of them.”

“Nonsense, it’s a complication of Holmeses, much more apt.”

“An inconvenience,” put in Sherlock.

“An extrapolation,” offered Grandmere.

“A Gordian bloody knot of Holmeses,” John decided.

“Which you’ve sliced through quite effectively,” Sherlock observed, then asked archly, “Shouldn’t you take off your shirt, John?”

Oh I love it - especially the Gordian knot!
Re the ACD fic, I think your plan to try one out first is probably safest unless you really thrive on plunging head first into the unknown. If you want a beta or someone to bounce ideas off let me know - I'm happy to help :)

I love the latest snippet and the discussion on the collective noun! So excited to read this whole thing!!

I think dabbling in ACD fic for a start to get the feel of it is a good idea. :)

I love the multiplicity, and John's decision :-)

ACD fic sounds fun...
