Nice :grin: Congrats on 500 followers :tada:

This is not in topic but there IS a series with a supernatural spin to Sherlock. It’s called Warlock Holmes and it’s a comedy. (Warlock is pretty dumb according to our beloved Watson). I think you might like it since it reminded me of you…… and the countless conversations about supernatural Sherlock adaptations :sweat_smile:

Thank you!!! :blush:

Hahaha, I had never heard about that one before, but just reading the description :joy:

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius. Warlock Holmes is an idiot . A font of arcane power, certainly. But he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag.

I’ll remember this one if I ever get through my giant book backlog :sweat_smile: :+1:

Ahaha it’s ok :+1: everyone has their own pace (and I should stop adding new books to my TBR list :sweat_smile:)

@Yklewz Thank you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: it’s really exiting (and a little terrifying) to see it grow :sweat_smile::kissing_smiling_eyes:

@Jess1973 Omg, the stack of books, both physical and digital, that I have not finished is so ridiculously high… I should probably give up on some of them, but I really don’t want to :sweat_smile:🄲

weird tip BUT if you want to shed some books on your TBR list either focus on a small number of books you want to read OR this one is a bit more dubious look if any of your books you want to read have any controversy so its easier on your mind to drop it

So, my recommendation for a TBR list is to use it as a reference for things you want to remember as possibilities and not look at it like a goal to be completed. Just accept that there will always be books on it and that it can grow infinitely.

Also, your tastes may change. I periodically go through and cull old stuff that no longer interests me.

I say, quite a remarkable item, to be certain. Lovingly crafted with an astonishing prose, hear hear. Anything but elementary, my dear Watson. Brilliant, I dare say.

@Jess1973 Haha that is an idea! A lot of the books are quite old so I’m sure there a controversies around the authors :joy: :+1:

@furyleika Yes, that is probably the most healthy attitude :slight_smile: I’ll try and think like that!

Im actually reading a Sherlock Holmes book right now. Hound of the Baskervilles. Loving it. Reading it because I’m waiting in anticipation to see how your story continues :joy:

Ooo, Hound of the Baskervilles is one of my favourite books <3

I’m currently reading His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes and next will be The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes. So I have to finish the original stories finally and I can watch the adaptations.
I like the original Holmes and my MC will probably have some of his personality traits. I want them to be so charming and polite when dealing with people… or at least they try :crazy_face:

Well I’m moving onto Case-book next. As for this story, I’m putting a bit of myself in this Sherlock.

Oooh, you are rereading the books :heart_eyes: @Ghoslestat @Cingulum_diaboli
I read a few of the stories again when I first started the project, but I felt I should stop because it became to tempting to ā€œborrowā€ ideas… :joy: or well, rather, every idea was less original, or at least it felt that way.
Now I look up characters a bit and reread a paragraph here and there for feeling and language, but I would like to read them again, now that the plot is relatively set in stone :confused:

We could do a community book club on one of the shorter stories? :kissing:

Played the demo and loved it! Can’t wait for the next demo/full game. Do you have a patreon I can use to support it?

I think @Doriana-Gray said no about patreon support, because of the copyright.

I see. Sherlock Holmes actually isn’t under copyright however, at least 90% of the stories and the characters themselves aren’t. :slight_smile:
