So...um...yeah...

...this is out there. In case my last fic didn't give it away, let me explain something I recently discovered. In the Sherlock fandom, there exists a genre of fic called the "221B." These fics are precisely 221 words long and end with a word that starts with "B." Dude. I'm in heaven. It's like a tailor-made genre for little wabbit fics. I had to go find a special icon and everything! Whee!

I learnt about the 221b ficlet just the other day! Hadn't heard about it before but a friend linked me to this one:

That one was alright. I can certainly see Sherlock behaving that way. I learned about these just by exploring around. Then again, I won't read a fic longer than 1000 words as a general rule, and I read very little fic to begin with, so it's not too much of a stretch for me to find this genre within days of reading Sherlock fic for the first time. ;)

Depends. I have read really long SG-1 fics that could have been books. I spent nights in front of my laptop because I could not stop. But such good authors are very rare.

There is also a lot of good Sherlock fan-art around. Like this

Lots of creative people out there! I usually don't search for such stuff, but my friends share what they find.

As for me, I want Sherlock action figures. Now would be good ;)

There is great art and fic out there for every fandom.

I find some on my own, and some folks send to me, but honestly, I really just do not read fic as a general rule. I go through phases where I read it a ton, but for the most part, I just don't read fic. And certainly not Stargate fic. I couldn't tell you the last time I read a Stargate fic, and I can probably count those I have read on my hands and feet.

I tend to either read a fandom or write a fandom. The two don't mix for me. There are, of course, exceptions, but mostly...nope. And when I do read fic, it's got to be short. Long fic just isn't (generally) my cup of tea.

Vids are a whole 'nother story, though. Love 'em!

I have made a few Stargate videos myself, and with one even won first place at a video contest at a convention! Got my price from the hands of Dan Payne no less.
Did I ever show them to you? I do have 5 MB versions which I could send by mail.

There were a few years, where I did ONLY read fics. No book from the library could hold my interest, as I found any other character that was not Jack, Sam, Daniel or Teal'c boring. That was very weird, as before I bought the computer, I had read many many books. My fic obsession has died down now, as I think I have seen pretty much everything and it is hard to find something extraordinary and new.

I go through phases like that with fic myself.

But like I said, it all depends on the fandom.

And I knew you made vids. I think I've seen them at some point.
