Re: Sherlock Holmes canon vs fanon

It's never really discussed. Fans (strongly supported by ACD's in-character introductions and Watson's explanations for why he didn't publish a case that happened ages ago for so long) generally assume that the dates that ACD's stories were published directly coincide with the dates that Watson's stories were published, and, IRL, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes were all first written and published during July 1891-December 1893, i.e., during the period when Watson, in the stories, thought Holmes was dead. On the other hand, A Study in Scarlet was written in 1887 and The Sign of Four was written in 1890, before Holmes "died". So it's very, very, very easy to view the Adventures/Memoirs as something of a tribute and/or motivated by grief, but he never says so AFAIK.

On the other hand, Watson says The Final Problem was written explicitly in order to refute Moriarty's brother's claims that Professor Moriarty was innocent. But usually, he only gives reasons for why he declined to publish certain cases for so long, not for why he wrote them.
