So, here it is again.<br /><br />Hank Phillippi Ryan, you are an incredible writer, and I loved both of the excerpts. Of course, being a Sherlock fan, the Anna Holmes one was especially wonderful. I hate to admit it, but I didn't watch the X-Files. However, your story is going to make me wish I had and maybe should. And, I can't wait to read all of both these stories and Hallie's and Debs' stories, too.<br /><br />What You See is going to be on lots of Best of 2015 Reading lists, including mine, which will be out in a couple of weeks.

Two of my all time favorites! What a privilege for you to get to write for both!!<br /><br />Both are excellent, but I have to admit it was the Holmes story that most captivated me. Your tone was perfect! Can't wait to read the finished product, and the whole anthology. And then I'll pick up the X-Files one.

That was we did on Sunday nights--we watched the X-Files. And now I want to go back and watch the whole series again. Wish I had the time... Hank, did you have to give yourself a Mulder and Scully "refresher?" And Hallie, I loved the funny ones, too.<br /><br />Hmm, thinking maybe I should put X-Files DVDs on my Christmas list.

Because it made me realize why Arthur Conan Doyle most often wrote from Watson's point of view! <br /><br /> And, re-studying the stories, I saw how much backstory there is--and how much fun it is to read that!

Where fans put characters in relationships. Like all the people who think Harry should have really ended up with Hermione. As I understand it, shipping is a staple of fan fiction.<br /><br />I think I might have seen half an episode of "the X files" in college because one of my apartment-mates was a fan. Other than that, I'm vaguely aware it has something to do with aliens--I think. Maybe.<br /><br />So yeah, while I'd read them both I'd take the Holmes story first.Liz Millironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919409969263609919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-20582120259769126872015-12-08T09:04:42.646-05:002015-12-08T09:04:42.646-05:00Yes, really.

Like when Mulder is about to thrust a stake through the heart of a kid/vampire he's been chasing and Scully pulls out his fake vampire teeth... cut to credits. Or the one where they go undercover in a gated community as married couple Ron and Laura Petrie (wink wink.) <br /><br />Never heard the term "shipper." <br /><br />My Sherlock Holmes story ("Understudy in Scarlet") is set, of course, on a Hollywood sound stage where a remake of Scandal in Bohemia is afoot. And I've read Hank's Adventure of the Dancing Women and you are in for a huge treat!
