The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - An affair of the heart (WIP) (Ch 6.1: 31 jan 2025)

Thank you, everyone, for voting and commenting! The feedback is both surprising and interesting. I knew romance was going to be high, but I really thought Sherlock was going to be higher :sweat_smile: it gives me more insight, I think, into what my readers want and what they prefer and priorities. So thank you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And all the comments are helpful, interesting, and very kind :heart: It helps, always, to hear your thoughts. And your kindness always makes me want to deliver the best story I can :sparkles:

@Cingulum_diaboli @yb_minhee @longnoideatime @Yklewz @montero :heart::heart::heart:

@Big_fan1231 I actually prefer to write in a past setting, and I don’t know why. Perhaps because words that would in a modern setting be too pretentious or rare are more accepted :sweat_smile: it’s just fun! I could write a mini prompt maybe on my tumblr, but right now, I have no plans for it :kissing:

@Albus_de_Noir ooh yes, the roaring twenties are fun! Or 1910 London could be fun too! If I ever made a spin-off story, it would probably be in either 1830 or 1910 :heart_eyes:

@Taylor_Enean I might have taken a screenshot of this and sent to a friend because it was so lovely :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: thank you!

Before I posted the demo, I spent quite a lot of time reading “how to write” books and watching YouTube videos about writing, doing writing exercises. But I forgot to continue that routine. But you reminded me, I will start again! I am just starting my writing experience. There are so many things to learn— which is pretty exciting, really :heart_eyes: if anyone has any good writing learning resource recommendations, I would gladly hear them! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Ooh, interesting :kissing: why do you not like Sherlock Holmes in a modern setting? :thinking: I would say I often times prefer a setting that is in some way distant from the modern era, but I can like that too :blush:

@CrayFoPottah oh shucks :kissing_closed_eyes: thank you haha, I have a hard time believing that, but I really appreciate it nonetheless :pleading_face::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
