...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!

It's only the most famous fictional address ever, mate!

Well, not so fictional, I guess, since you can visit there and it's a preserved heritage site place thingy. ;)

Did you know they still receive letters there addressed to Sherlock Holmes? Too true. And the Sherlock Holmes museum there seems pretty cool. I didn't get to visit it when I went to London a few years ago, but I will next time!

I was there and we spent hours looking at all the rooms. They are decorated very lovely and with so many details. I have tons of pictures, if you are interested.

Some of the letters are even exhibited. I loved this one by a kid which went like "Dear dead Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I know you are dead but my teacher insists I write to you. Because I want a good grade, I am doing it but between you and me, I think she is crazy" or something like that ;)

That letter is classic!

Very cool. I'm glad you got to visit. It was one of the places we had on our "if we have time" list, but we didn't have time. Our trip was so compressed. But we'll go back one day and we'll go then. No biggie.
