Waaaaaaaaaaa I’m so excited
The waiting is awful!
VERY excited to see how you characterize Adler! I usually have issues with how they’re portrayed in media, but your writing so far has been EXCELLENT, and I can’t wait to see what you do with them!
Ohh! Please let me know your take on it then!
What chapter/update was your last?
Not this chapter I’m afraid. That’s at the ball!
The one where we catch the bird and talk about it with Watson. So a long time ago pretty much.
I cant wait I swear by tomorrow i’ll have a time machine
I’ll just pop up by here and say that you could write an IKEA manual and I would read it with delight
Right, so I saw a publicity photo of a celebrity and now this is what male!Lestrade looks like in my brain.
Before the new chapter drops tomorrow, I wanted to ask (because it’s relevant to the chapter after that one, which is the one I’m currently writing)
Which outfit style do you pick for your MC/s?
- Proper (expensive and elegant and in fashion)
- Bold (the sexy one)
- Charming/Delicate (soft, friendly, charming)
- Simple (minimal adornments, comfortable, plain)
- Unique (the very colourful suit / skirt trousers / dress-like frock)
- Atypical (the simple suit when worn by woman mc)
- demode (the regency dress–it was a giveaway prize)
This is basically how it’s structured in my code, + a lot of boolean values. And it’s in these categories they will be commented on, as I have it right now. And the ball will use a variation of this system.
Make your preference heard (and make me remember to write flavour text for more types)!
Chapter 5 is out now! 
Chapter 5 is out now for everyone!
- Talk to Watson about this new case
- Meet Lestrade again
(Please make new save!!!)
I’m going to start calling it Chapter 5, part 1, though, because I think it will make more sense together with (the formerly ch6 now) Chapter 5, part 2, as both are about preparing for the ball.
(So the ball will now be ch 6!)
Anyway—I hope you enjoy it! 
updated new questions in top post
pov you were slowly waiting for this moment:
I don’t know what to say. What the hell, Lestrade? Watson? What the actual hell!
oh be still my sherholmes?johnlock? heart! … lmao that part kind of cushioned the blow from John deciding not to come with us
haha
MENTALLY ZOOMING AROUND A ROOM RIGHT NOW!!! AHHHH IT’S OUT!!!
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME… JOHN… LESTRADE… NOOO… EVERYTHING’S FALLING APART GODDAMN YOU AND YOUR STUPID BALL, HAMISH!!! My heart is actually tearing into pieces they’re pulling away!! My Sherlock can’t cope with that!! What do you MEAN you can’t come, what do you MEAN you shouldn’t be there as much as you are, what do you MEAN one day my vices will catch up to me, what do you MEAN I should go and leave you alone??? Aughf. I’m not okay. I’m destroyed. Lethargic and weeping. They’re Sherl’s EVERYTHING why would they DO this
… Crying in the club FOR REAL. I need to take a moment before I can say anything coherent I-
Everyone suddenly became drama queens My Sherlock just wants to get on with the case instead of wasting time on that emotional nonsense.
The poll is really surprising to me. Like I get I’m butch and chose the masculine options to suit me but I didn’t expect they’d be such a distant second and third from last. Maybe I get really in my head about myself and don’t realize quite how rare it is. That or this specific game has a bunch of extremely normal people for the audience.
I played a few hours ago but after seeing everyone complaining about lestrade…and I think its my turn.
When people ask me if there’s anything in my life I regret, my knee jerk reaction is to say no–because my mother taught me not to use that word. She said it was tacky and my face would stick like that–oh wait, that was crossing my eyes. Oh, you know what I mean. So, I may have promised I would never hate someone–but I was wrong. *I really hate you.
I hate you the way a rat hates cheese. Wait, a rat really loves cheese. Maybe I hate you the way a rat hates a cat eating a piece of cheese right in front of his face. Yeah, that’s it.
In fact, I think I hate you more than my mom hated the word hate.
@M_K1 The story and character arcs needed some tension
@parisgracex
(It’s not forever
unless they decide it is)
@Graceful-Not
Wait haha why is this H’s fault now? (I would blame Mrs Hudson tbh…)
@Cingulum_diaboli Yes—Sherlock is the least drama of the whole cast, of course. Always
@ElliWoelfin I don’t know, the 2nd to last option is 3 other clothing choices (2 which can be worn by any mc) and that suit can only be word by women, so it’s quite impressive it beat that, no? And I can see why it would fare worse from other options which can also be chosen by non binary mc and mmc. In my mind it did quite well, with that in mind?
@love4tae wait lol, do u hate me or L now??
Watson and Hamish:
Good update
God, that was delicious. And Lestrade is back! My love! Shouting at me! ^-^
