(Anonymous) 2014-03-25 01:38 am (UTC)(link)Okay, you are just really really unsuited to Sherlock Holmes then. Because, actually, yeah, there characters are EVERYTHING. Its fine. Nothing wrong with that. But for your own sake, go have fun in your other fandoms and don't come around in this one because I guarantee that you will not find a single kindred spirit in it. NO ONE loves SH for the plots. They love it for the characters, atmosphere, and tropes, and deductions, and everything rlse. The plots are 99% nothing but the medium through which the good stuff is carried.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-25 03:19 am (UTC)(link)Um. I don't mean to be rude, but you're definitely not going to mix well with any other SH fans whatsoever. 'Cause that's, like, the antithesis of everything they love.
Little nitpick though: how would you know they would use it for *bank* robbery? The bank wasn't mentioned until far later in the story. The only way you'd know about that "three paragraphs in" is if you were subconsciously aware of this story through pop cultural osmosis. Maybe a lucky guess.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-25 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)The OP, besides probably being a teenager who thinks their opinion original or shocking (ie, a troll), clearly doesn't know much about real literature: the biggest cultural impact of a book is not a function of the quality of the book or the realism of the characters or how well-written it is.
Books which are classics of literature do not generate the kind generational-spanning fandom some pieces of trash do (and please do not pretend to infer from this sentence that I consider ACD's books pieces of trash, that is not what I am saying). The number and quality of adaptations and public adoration of a book and its characters are not linearly related to the quality of a book and its writing.
Anyone to whom this is somehow news is clearly not a very literate person.
