I literally had to go and google who Joseph Bell was because I hadn't heard of him before. Seems like an interesting guy...

(that is to say, yes, he's an interesting guy! Frankly, it's always a bit weird to me how he is so obscure when Sherlock Holmes is easily the most famous fictional character in existence. And not only was Bell a/the prototype of Holmes, but he was also a brilliant surgeon, an amateur poet, an extremely kind-hearted and charismatic person, and one of the pioneers of forensic science. He solved actual crimes, isn't that awesome?)

I once heard that some agent for a publisher once had a meeting with Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde and they hashed out an agreement to each write a novel for the publisher. Wilde came up with The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Doyle came up with The Sign of Four.

Is that true at all? Is that the kind of thing you'd know?

Re: Joseph Bell and the SH backstory. Also, literature.

If we are to believe Doyle himself, this is perfectly true. The dinner took place in August 1889, and the editor's name was Joseph Stoddart. While describing this evening, Doyle wrote, by the way, that The Picture was "a book which is surely upon a high moral plane".

They were friends with Wilde, which I think is awfully sweet.

That's a kind of thing I'd know :)

OMG I've never heard about this before, but that's really cool :)

I did too. We can feel dumb together.

lol sorry to disappoint. I didn't consider the possibility that it might mean something other than Sherlock Holmes. And I don't know a thing about the Silent Hill franchise.
