Off-site and off-line H/W slash
Off-site and off-line H/W slash
Unlike the webguide,
this list is not restricted to members of the Holmesslash list, and it includes
all other H/W resources that I can find. I have links to
other people's fanfic collections or archives
of H/W slash, and I have some information regarding
books, zines, and other goodies that are
available on or off the internet. Some sites have disappeared since
Geocities closed down, and I am still looking for replacements.
Liederlady's LiveJournal contains
both her own H/W fiction as well as links to other major story collections.
Lyra's Holmes/Watson Links
features her favorite slash stories, as well as Victorian historical references. Her own
H/W stories are also available on the site.
The Slash Cotillion
has been down for a long time now, and no one knows if it will ever be fixed. So
please check out one of the other websites linked by Liederlady,
such as However Improbable, and
Cox and Co.
Also, since the new movie opened, there is a slash-friendly
Holmes/Watson '09 community
devoted to it, featuring fics, fanart, and more.
Vetesse also opened a
Facebook group
for Holmes/Watson slash called Elementary My Dear Holmes.
The new BBC Sherlock series has also inspired many fan sites as well.
The Game is On is friendly to all pairings,
gen and slash. Even asexual fics are welcome.
Traditional Sherlockians often cite Larry Townsend's The Sexual Adventures
of Sherlock Holmes as an example of slash, but it is actually gay porn with
strong BDSM content. I don't recommend it myself, but your tastes may be different.
The 1998 film Zero Effect
is a modern update to the Sherlock Holmes tale "Scandal in Bohemia," which I
recommend. The stars are Bill Pullman as Daniel Zero and Ben Stiller as Steve
Arlo, Zero's Watson. I liked this movie a lot, and even though it does have
female love-interests for both the Holmes and Watson characters, they have nice
slashy moments together sometimes.
Veinglory's Gay Sherlock Holmes
blog provides information on the old Worth the Wound zine and other Holmes media.
Cicero's Vestibulum,
contains a valuable list of zines for both H/W and Inspector Morse slash. She also
has her own fiction written in both those fandoms.
Mark tells us that Scarlet Street,
a general mystery magazine, has back issues available for purchase, including
issue #16, which contains an "examination of Holmsian canon and sexual identity."
A few print Holmes/Watson fanzines
are available at Judith Proctor's Blakes 7 site. Just follow the "Zine Shop"
link, choose a country for your order, and then look for "Sherlock Holmes" in
the fandoms. I haven't myself bought any of them, being busy and low on cash.
Oblique Publications is a
long-time slash zine publisher that has gone online. Their site features *.pdf
versions of their zines, so that you may see the issues just as they looked in
print. Oblique has done a major update, bringing their total of Holmes stories
up to five. Use the Story List by Fandom to find these tales or browse through
the various issues of Paean to Priapus.
Thundertori has a Sherlock doujin book based
on the Charles Augustus Milverton story.
I do try to be as comprehensive as possible, but if I miss a site, or you have
valuable information to give to me, whether on a zine or a broken link, please
email me so that I can add or edit your listing here as quickly as I can.
