Happy #SherlockHolmesDay & birthday to #Edinburgh scribe Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, still commemorated with a statue of the great detective close to his family home here our #UNESCO City of Literature, & a nearby pub named after him (the greatest honour a Scotsman can hold!)

Also, Jeremy Brett remains the finest screen incarnation of Holmes. I will brook no arguments on this point!

The third story in my Sherlock Holmes series has arrived.

Here's my Holmes, if you're curious: https://agoodtuckering.tumblr.com/tagged/cushing%20holmes

⸻

Following the events of the night prior, Sherlock Holmes makes a decision to call upon Miss Adler. There's no denying the truth of it all. The pair have already made their confessions.

A small teaser:

“He wasn’t wrong,” she added. “You /are/ a man, after all. And I am a woman.”

His head tilted, mind elsewhere as he replied. “You aren’t /a woman/, Irene. You are /the Woman/.”

The Conan Doyle pub at night (with added light trails) https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54301057204/in/dateposted/

Yes, it is named for the creator of Sherlock Holmes, whose childhood home was just across the road from this spot (a statue of Sherlock stands nearby too), because, yes, in Edinburgh, even pubs are historic and cultural.

Back when good things could come from Davos:

“It was here that Robert Louis Stevenson overcame his writer’s block and finished Treasure Island; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started skiing in the Alps; and Thomas Mann thought of the idea for The Magic Mountain.”

#WordWeavers 16 — How long is your shortest work?

I've been incredibly busy lately, but I just wanted to answer this prompt. It's fascinating to me, honestly. I loved reading everyone's responses.

I have two short stories that I can think of at the moment. I've written tons, but hey. Ironically, both of these are Sherlock Holmes-related (and for Irene and Sherlock to boot). They were written yeaaars apart from each other.

1. Desire Beyond Skin, 2025
Written For: Arthur Conan Doyle's Books
Word Count: 826

2. On the Edge of Forever, 2019
Written For: BBC's Sherlock Series
Word Count: 375
https://archiveofourown.org/works/19878649

I love both of these pieces so much.

The second story in my Sherlock Holmes series has arrived.

Here's my Holmes, if you're curious: https://agoodtuckering.tumblr.com/tagged/cushing%20holmes

I'm including the accompanying video not because it has much to do with the plot of my story but just because I love it, and it's from one of my favorite films.

Another case is solved, this one with the help of Miss Adler. Baker Street is silent for a while, and Sherlock Holmes is more than grateful for her assistance. Confessions come to light in the aftermath.

So, I did a thing tonight and wanted to share it with everyone.

Random but over the years, I've written well over 100+ Sherlock Holmes-related stories on other sites. I’ve even written roleplay stories as various different versions of Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, and John Watson. I wanted to move some of my stories to AO3, and perhaps add a few new ones while I’m at it. So, here goes nothing.

Here's my Holmes, if you're curious: https://agoodtuckering.tumblr.com/tagged/cushing%20holmes

Come one particularly rainy afternoon, Sherlock Holmes finds that he has a rather interesting visitor who's popped round to say hello.

Hörspiel-Pick: Sherlock Holmes – Der Hund von Baskerville
So kurz vor Weihnachten - genauer gesagt am 19. Dezember 2024 - hab ich über die ARD Audiothek mit bekommen, dass es dort ein neues Sherlock Homes Hörspiel gibt. Ein echter Klassiker aus der Romanreihe von Sir Arthur Conan

Initially in English fiction, mummies were less horrific and more romantic - exotic people from ancient times who wake to romance the protagonist. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was one of the first authors to present the mummy as a lumbering undead monster, in "Lot No. 249."

Tonights movie is 'The Sign of Four, Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes' Which I would say is my favorite actor to play Holmes. https://youtu.be/0_382pcDb10?si=3tap6udEOm-6h6Ae #SherlockHolmes #Sherlock #sirarthurconandoyle

Tonight movie is 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band (1949) with Alan Napier' https://youtu.be/0R2jczHfuFw?si=uypnrdAn4V-hVDw8 #SherlockHolmes #Sherlock #sirarthurconandoyle

1966 Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in a dramatic courtroom scene

The image depicts a scene with various characters who are central figures from the Sherlock Holmes series of stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
On the left, there is a figure wearing a long blue coat over a white shirt and dark pants, holding a magnifying glass in their right hand and looking intently at something on a table.
The central figure is standing in a green robe with a hood, leaning forward as if addressing the court or an audience, with his right arm extended towards the sky.
To the right, there is another character who appears to be in mid-speech, with their arms raised and their mouth open.
The background features dark wooden benches on either side of a central aisle leading up to a dais where the judge would sit, which suggests this is a courtroom setting.

Questa vicenda di figli di ex banchieri centrali che *magicamente* si buttano in politica dopo aver seguito mirabolanti carriere religiose, mi hanno fatto rivenire in mente il bellissimo #capolavoro #LaValledellaPaura con l'inarrivabile #SherlokHolmes di #SirArthurConanDoyle che romanza in maniera assolutamente esemplare la #massoneria con un #thriller dal ritmo serrato e insuperabile

May 22 is the birthday of #British author #SirArthurConanDoyle who we #quote and back with a picture of a leaf after morning dew settled on it at #LosJilguerosPreserve here in #Fallbrook. If this #quotograph speaks to you please #repost it.
