I have got to find that! Well, preferably I can find both eventually, but I'm definitely tracking down Sign of Four right away. Thank you!!!!

Have you read Conan Doyle, Detective? It's not terribly well written, but it's fascinating and is a great starting point for learning about that aspect of his life.

No, no that one. Thanks for the rec. I do have an awful lot of books which I'm planning to read, but maybe I can place it somewhere after the Hornblower series)

I know that ACD participated in forensic work and helped to solve/solved a couple of cases, but I didn't really read anything expanded on the matter. The last Doylean thing I've read was concentrated on Joe Bell, the book by Ely Liebow, "Joe Bell: a Model for Sherlock Holmes".

Oh, I'm glad it interests you.

There's no possibility, however, of you knowing any Murder Rooms fanfics/writing them yourself? That would be an awesome thing(

It never occurred to me to look for fic before now, so I have no idea of the quality, but there are four stories on AO3:
http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Murder%20Rooms:%20The%20Dark%20Beginnings%20of%20Sherlock%20Holmes/works

And now I need to read them and then go find more. I wish I could make my muse write what I want but I can't, so I doubt I'll ever write MR fic :(

There's also a section on FF.net. Didn't read those yet either) But s o m e t h i n g t e l l s m e that it's quite hopeless to look for more unless you know some specific places (eg somebody's LJ). Murder Rooms is just this thing which has no fandom and, probably, only two or three fans.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-17 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah :/ There's one fan showing up in the Tumblr tags with a lots of gifsets and that's it. I can't think of anyone on LJ. I've tried to get some of my friends into it over the years, but haven't had any luck. It's a shame, especially because some of them have written very good Holmes stories in the past. No one I know writes anything related to Sherlock or Doyle anymore because the BBC show took over the fandom just when the RDJ-verse fans had lost interest and wandered off. I wish more Sherlockians (in the purist sense) had gotten into MR. I got into it a little late but I'd rather look back at stuff preserved in a fandom that's gone quiet than no fandom at all.
