Have you even read the books?

In which book does Sherlock ever slap Mary around?

Woman getting a Uni education were frowned upon, too, but Mary got one anyway.

Why would you automatically think it would be a bad marriage because a woman in her 20s was marrying a man in her 50s, anyway?

AYRT Sigh. Please read my comment properly. Sean Connery is known as a man who thinks violence against women is OK, my comment was directed at your "ooh, Connery's a hot older man, I'd marry him" and only that.

My comment was also remarking wrt to Russell's books that very large age gaps were not as socially acceptable and common around the 1900s as you seem to think, and are using to justify the inclusion of Holmes/Russell. Two separate points.

You can like the King books all you like (and I have no intention of reading them after Beekeeper, that was enough to put me off entirely) and think that Holmes marrying Russell is plausible if you want. The more defensive you get about them, the less likely you are to convince anyone else that they are anything but author-insert wish fulfillment, though.

You seem to think there is actually something wrong with author-insert wish fulfillment, for some reason.

I don't agree with that.

Oh, and I actually liked the Fushigi Yugi series too, fyi.

For the reason that it usually results in a bad story. But if you like it, that's your taste. I still agree entirely with the OP.

I think Watson was ACD's self insert he created so he could go have fantastic adventures with his Gary Stu, Sherlock Holmes.

But then, Holmes got too popular, and all kinds of trouble started.
