That's just silly. Sherlock Holmes didn't even really like women except for one single woman, and that was because she outsmarted him.

He would not just stick it in any lady. He was probably heteroromantic anyway, or biromantic. I don't think he was into sex.

Did Sherlock Holmes ever do much romancing? I don't remember his personal relationships being important ever, though I've only read aSiS and tHotB, so...

If the fanfiction is anything to go by...

... let's just go with no and save all of us some sanity.

There are 2 food kitchens, 1shelter, and 1 food bank with 2 miles of that location.  In addition, there are  3 or 4 halfway houses within a half hour walk, and on Sundays a full lunch in a bag is pased out by the local interfaith church.  This last Wensday, Christmas, pulled pork and an extra 'weekly bag' was handed out by the kitchen I volunteer at.  And the amount of state clinics and support sevices nearby is actuallt suprising.

  my point being there is alot around, and the erractic nature of requests was offputting.  He walked off towards the shelter, which hands out bagged dinners of 4 ham/cheese sandwiches and 2 apples on the weekend.

  Asking passersby for stuff is not done offa sidestreet, where burned out factories and abandoned housed are the prevailing feature.

I feel you don't fully grasp the strain put on these organizations, their inability to manage the large amount of starving transients and poor in general, or the lack of actual resources any of these places have.

The amount of food kitchens in America has exploded, especially with food stamps being cut constantly, and they simply do not have the funding to feed enough people.

And as for homeless shelters, they generally fill up almost immediately, every night. They are also wretched places.

Next time, just give the dude some food. You'll get a great feeling that you did another soul a good deed and all that.

No, he really didn't like women. He was a misogynist. Just that one women, an iteration of whom appears in the movies.

If he was into guys that wasn't going to be explored in those books (and I doubt Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was writing him as a homosexual.)

You dare speak against Holmes/Watson, the OTP to found all OTPs?

[Frumple]

... I'd speak against the latter half of that statement, at least. The OTP to found all OTPs was, more or less literally, Kirk/Spock.

Hell, credit where it's due, that basically founded modern day fanfiction in its entirety.

No, seriously, the first fanfiction was created by Star Trek fans during the era of TOS, mostly female viewers who wrote stories shipping Kirk and Spock. We get the term 'slash fiction' because the shorthand for those was 'Kirk/Spock'. And at least they had some actual subtext to base their argument on. What the hell, I can see it, so I suppose I'd ship it.

[smeeprocket]

I admit, I get a little turned on anytime spock and kirk are grappling, or when bones and spock are arguing.

So much sexual tension.

Spoiler: One of the best episodes in the entire run of the original series. (click to show/hide)

Right, or right?

I suppose I sort of misspoke. Technically speaking, fanfiction is about as old as humanity, given that the oral tradition was pretty much entirely composed of people passing on stories with their own modifications; most classical mythology is likewise functionally fanfiction written about mythical figures. They just didn't call it that, mostly because people weren't as uptight about intellectual property and literary canon.

Me and my girlfriend were looking at scrapbooks full of pictures of young me...
Her: Who is that girl? She's really cute!
Me: That's me when I was twelve...
Her: Oh. Is that a picture of (Younger brother) juggling?
Me: No, that's also me.

Also, she thought me and my (2.5 years) younger brother were identical twins for a few months. I don't even know. It's not just her either, lots of people mix us up or think we are twins. We have different eye colours, different hair, he is three inches taller, different hair colour...
