You Have Other Work?!? Grabby Hands!

You have other work?!? grabby hands!

Indeed I do. I'd say my magnum opus would be this near 5,000 word epistolary I wrote about the Professor killings and such. It took me five months of research and writing and it was so fun and I am genuinely so proud of it. I have tons of other stuff on that account, but I love this story so much. I love epistolary and I'm fascinated by the stuff that happened before the plot of dgs.

Under the read more is a link and a description of the story and the work that went into it.

This story is an epistolary. If you don't know what that is, it's a story told entirely through documents. If you want an example of a really good one, the original version of Dracula by Bram Stoker is an epistolary.

I based the story off of a lot of things, but in particular, Dracula, various Sherlock Holmes stories (especially, of course, Hound of the Baskervilles), and original documents I found from the time period. I researched birth certificates, newspaper clippings, letters, journal entries, and even submissions to parliament. I talked to people who, like me, are really into the Victorian period. I asked my British friends for help on various aspects of life in England.

I realize it may not look like it, but a lot of fics take a lot of work. This one, I was writing before we knew that dgs would ever be localized. I had high doubts about it specifically because of the copyright surrounding Sherlock Holmes. I am so pleased that I made and released it when I did, as it came out a month before the localization. It's, in my opinion, a fascinating resource into what the story was like before the localization. I still haven't finished DGS 2 quite yet, so I have yet to see, for example, what Klimt's will ended up looking like. I based it half off of some random clipping I found on the wiki that I have no idea of the source for, and also a fanslation (not the dubbed one by I believe TaisaTheGamer or something along those lines, but a subbed one by a channel that's like Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 or something).

So, basically, this is a lovely little melting pot of two or three translations, my own grammar edits, real historical documents, Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, and some friends of mine. I am so proud of it.

kazuma-sama you are so right i apologize profusely for my slight

Ribbonroad,

I accept your apology. It has honestly been a bit of a relief that people now have started to treat me with more respect... aside from my closest friends, of course. I have gone through my fair share of slights, including as of recently.

Would you believe that van Zieks had the nerve to invite me to supper at his home and he dared to serve me grouse? His pet scientist insisted that not only did he know that I hated chicken, but also that grouse tasted nothing like it. But I am no fool! I know he did this to me on purpose to make me sit through an unbearable dinner where I would not be able to sample the first course.

Anyhow. Thank you,

Asougi Kazuma

To anyone

Thoughts on former queen Elizabeth’s passing?

Anonymous,

I weep for the life that has passed. Such a beautiful age of art, of philosophy, of theatre--the patron saint of the bard himself!! While it has been hundreds of years since our late leader Elizabeth, her impact will be felt for centuries to come, I know.

Death comes to us all, and while such a thought may be dreadful to some, he has wise words to share on such a subject, as with all others... She has gone to the undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveler returns. To die, to sleep, no more. To sleep, perchance to dream-- and so on and so forth.

With slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

William Petenshy

dear sherlock holmes: do any of mr mikotobas friends ever ask you to dance. if yes, do they say "go white boy, go" and if not, would you dance for them hypothetically

Dearest Ribbonroad,

I'm afraid to bring the mood down, but Yuujin does seem to be running out of friends. That being said, Jigoku was a rather large fan of the term 'jig', and therefore he and I ended up doing a lively jig together whenever we saw one another.

He did not use the phrase you mentioned, as I have never heard anyone use that phrase before. As for if I would dance for him... Ah, it would be hard to say no!

miss iris, if you were to make a charm of dr mikotoba, what animal would it be?

Dearest Ribbon,

It is rather difficult to choose a proper animal for such a thing! I had Papa as a bunny, but then when I met Susie I realized that she would also be best represented by a bunny! I made Roxy a cat, and then I realized that Kazumie would also be a cat! So, I wanted to get some more variety within the animals I have.

With a mouse, a bear, two cats, two bunnies, and a hedgehog... Hm. I do rather like the idea of him as a fluffy little dog. A very cuddly, warm, sleepy creature... or perhaps another bear, like mine! That way, Susie matches Papa and I match his partner!

What do you think? Iris

Dear Irene,

Does Yuujin know about you or how important you are to Sherlock? How does he feel about you?

This ask is gonna be really silly for people who don’t know about your version of Irene.

Dear Anon,

Of course my dear partner knows about me. He is well aware of me, who I am, how I differ from Sherlock. He is proud to go on about town with a stunning figure like myself on his arms. He is practically the talk of the town when he does so. I know he feels differently for me than he does for Sherlock, and I cannot blame him for that. It is easier for the two of us than it is for the two of them. I am certain you can understand why.

That being said, he brings joy to me and I to him. In the end, that is all that matters.

Love, Irene Holmes

Barok, what are your feelings on Benjamin?

Anon,

Barok, What Are Your Feelings On Benjamin?

I find it hard to say what a profound difference my friend has made on my life. He made me feel like a normal person in a world that I simply could not comprehend. He showed me that, despite being different, despite my constant and unshakeable sadness, I am still someone worthy of being cared for.

Barok, What Are Your Feelings On Benjamin?

I do not know how he feels about me. I do not know if he is aware that he changed my entire life. He makes me feel warm, and cared for, and like I can be a better person. I know that I have been prejudiced and terrible in the past... he makes me feel as though I can do better. I want nothing more than to be better. For him. I want to be a man I... we. Both of us can be proud of.

Dear father-in-law,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I am writing to invite you to our baby shower, which will be held in three months.

I know that this invitation comes at a difficult time for our family, as we are still mourning the loss of my brother-in-law. His memory will always be in our hearts, and I know that he would have been so excited to welcome our new baby into the world.

We would be honored to have you join us in celebrating the newest addition to our family. Your presence would mean the world to us, and we hope that you can make it.

With love,

Lord Blackquill.



To Lord Blackquill,

Thank you for your kind invitation. I am certain that my husband and I will be able to attend this celebration, and we look forward to welcoming this new life into our family. I hope that our presence there will be able to bring a bit more life to such a dark time you and your wife have been facing.

Respectfully, Lord van Zieks.

Dear Sherlock and Mikotoba,

You two make an iconic duo. Between the two of you, who would you say is the Sinjin and who is the Burf? This is for science… I eagerly look forward to your response.

Dear anon,

Dear Sherlock And Mikotoba,

I have absolutely no idea to what you refer! That being said, I can tell you for scientific fact! That I am a Sinjin, and my dear Yuujin is a Burf. Perhaps if I get further information I would consider changing my mind, but I know deep in my gut that my initial reaction is correct.

Dear Uncle Naruhodo,

I’m accused of murder can you please come and defend me please. It has something to with my late judicial assistant Miss Victoria.

9, 1,13, 7,21,12,9,20,25

1,19,11,9,14,7, 25,15,21, 2,5,3,1,21,19,5,

8,5,1,20,8,5,18, 1,19,11, 13,5, 20,15 1,19,11, 25,15,21.

Henry

Dear Henry,

I... I do not know if I can comply with such a request. I understand the gravity of the situation, and it is something I never would want to find myself in, but the simple matter of fact is that I am in Japan and it will take me an immense amount of time to make it to Europe. My previous trip to London took me well over a month.

While I would love to help you with such a thing, I do not think I am the man for you. I am so, so sorry. Is there anyone else you could possibly ask?

Regretfully, Naruhodou Ryuunosuke
