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.

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. ♥
