If there is one thing Watson is certain of at this very moment, it's that there must be a scientifically sound explanation for this.

Probably. Possibly.

No. There definitely is a scientifically sound explanation, and Watson is convinced that if Holmes hadn't just turned into a child, he'd be evaluating the facts already, developing theories.

—A Silly Phase

Have you read zarah5's A Silly Phase? No? Then toddle off and read it. Take it from someone who is iffy about both kid!fics and spontaneous-metamorphosis!fics — it's that good.

As for my drawing, I know it's bit off, but I don't draw children very often. (I think the last time was... what, two years ago? Anyways.) Also, what is it with Wikipedia and having no information whatsoever on children's fashion during the 1880's?
Reference used ad nauseam. The model? Well... take a guess.

Because... Actually, I have no good reason for this. Why doesn't it exist?

I'm signing on to this project by offering ideas and very possibly illustrate it. Any takers? ♥ Bribery is an underrated art form.

I am tempted, oh. TEMPTED!!! But on the other hand, I think ladylovelace's got it covered, and I currently very much have other epic fic on my plate, in which Holmes has gone missing and Mary died - and as it turns out, the accident was arranged by Moriarty, to lure Holmes back to Watson and England. And Watson is back to gambling and Holmes is back to drugs, and for all that they don't care about their own well-being, they very much care about the well-being of each other, so they turn to sex as a means to let off steam. And then the sex becomes more. And there's also Moriarty.

And, um. What was I trying to say?

Right. The above story is eating away at my agenda, so, uh. While I want to, I think this is better left to others. Then again, epic addiction fic should be done in time to give me a shot at writing Big Bang.

Yes, I read about that when I stalked your journal! :D Please, leave this mutating plot-bunny in my and ladylovelace's hands though you are of course more than welcome to contribute and we'll do the best we can. Because your fic needs to be written and nothing should come in its way!

See how nice I am, speaking for someone else without their explicit consent. ♥

You were stalking my journal? *g*

And ugh, yes. It's at 20'000 words by now? I currently keep dragging this sex scene out because I am bad at writing sex! Or at least, I moan and groan about it like a petulant child.

I could serve as a sounding board, if the two of you want something like that! I'm good at being a sounding board; just don't ask me about grammar.

I hate to interrupt but I can hardly fathom why you should think that drawn out sex scenes were a bad thing.

Also I am intrigued by the premise of your fic and await it with bated breath.

I am not completely convinced this fandom needs... so far about 2000 words of Watson tentatively figuring out how to fuck a man while Holmes tells him he isn't made of china. This story is not even a pwp, dammit! There is no actual need of prolonged sex scenes! I was doing fine with the first three, I was!

*sighs*

I'm going to guess that you're not upset about stalking, so I plead guilty as charged. ♥

20,000 words? Already? That's awesome! \o/ I can't wait to read it! (Oh, and don't worry about long sex scenes; they build ~atmosphere~. Tee-hee, you said "moan and groan"!)

Don't be surprised if we take you up on that offer. As soon as this monster plot bunny stops growing with the speed of light, I'll let you know. ♥
