I love how we do all this research for these small ass scenes in our fanfic writing and very, very rarely does someone notice.
The address Sherlock just gave to that cabbie? Yeah that’s a real location in London. I don’t live there. I found it via researching derelict factories that used to produce ammunition in world war two.
Their showers/baths and taps are different. I mentioned special shit about it. I looked it up. Found it out.
Oh you know that restaurant that Sherlock took John to? Yes, it’s within walking distance of their flat (aka the Sherlock holmes museum) so it does make sense.
I spent all this fuckin time on these dumb little facts and no one cares.
And omg this is not a whine to say please, please care. I am just amused by this because there are dicks who say that fanfic writing is lazy, simple, masturbatory writing. And I’m like motherfucker do you hear yourself? I just spent three hours looking up a specific gun that Sebastian Moran would use and no one will give a shit but I know! I GIVE A SHIT. The rifle choice is solid and so I feel like I’ve done a good job so iono…this is pointless. I’m done not-ranting now.
