Okay, I just googled it and am now reading; the design is absolutely gorgeous, but... it is full of Russian stamps, of all things, saying that the wires were sent to a prison. Is it intentional?

[making_excuses]

Link us Anon?

[(Anonymous)]

Can't; am typing from a mobile phone. But it appears to be widely known, so you shall have no problems with finding it. Search terms Sub Rosa, Professor Pangaea. I must admit I did exaggerate when I used the word "full": there's only one wire to Russia and a couple to Ukraine and Poland. Still, this one goes to a particular prison in Moscow.

[(Anonymous)]

And... NO
It's a Soviet one

[rapunzelita]

I'm not sure it's intentional. I'm guessing it's just the only Russian blank telegraph paper things that prof_pangaea could get their hands on.

LOOK, HOLMES WAS JUST GONE FOR A REALLY, REALLY LONG TIME

... or i just can't read anything in the cyrillic alphabet. sorry russians. :(

and the internet was much smaller when i made sub rosa. you would not believe the amount of time that went into finding those telegram images. i think i looked at every single image of a vintage telegram that was on the internet in 2005.

Aw, it's cool that you did come across this secret.

As a Russian I personally find this utterly hilarious, and I don't think it diminishes the quality of the work in any way. [although it does, of course, make it less ground-in-history].

It's no wonder those were the images you found: the theme of Soviet prisons and concentration camps (the other stamp says "Magadan", if you're interested; it is possibly the most widely known place of exile in USSR) is and has always been very popular indeed. Internet is often seen as a database for all the information documentary, especially for the kind which has long been banned due to censorship. RuNet therefore was full of various data regarding USSR and the political repressions as soon as it became remotely big.

And yeah, I know)) It all progresses devilishly fast. It is astonishing that I remember the creation of Wikipedia, the time when there was no wi-fi, the time when there was no Twitter... when there was dial-up... worse: Fidonet...

Also: thank you for Sub Rosa anyhow. I genuinely enjoyed it, especially the piece of article.

LINK TO THE FIC

[fenm]

Here ya go.

[grackle]

It's up there, for sure.

Despite all the mess with time traveling, it is still a very, very good fanwork. Though I rather hope that this fandom has something better to offer for the first place.

[tweedisgood]

That'd probably be some one of the works of Katie Forsythe.

*envious sigh*

[(Anonymous)]

You're not wrong. It's an amazing fic.

[prof_pangaea]

thank you, anon! seven minutes later, i still think you're the best anon of all time.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, you're the one I should be thanking! Can't tell you how many computers I've been through, but I always end up bookmarking this fic whenever I get a new one. (I can't read Cyrillic either, so it didn't detract from things at all for me.) I am one of those horrible Canon purists the BBC!Sherlock stans love to hate on...but whenever I point them to this, usually all is forgiven. :-)
