I was poking around on archive.org looking for some more old radio detective shows, when I stumbled across this set of free audio mysteries: http://archive.org/details/BbcThrillingStoriesOfTheRailway05Eps

I was going to go ahead and download them based on the description, which I'll copy below, and then I read the comments and learned that they are read by Benedict Cumberbatch! Who, according to the comment, does a splendid job. I clicked on the first one and by golly, that's who reads them. So now I'm *definitely* grabbing them!

Here's the description from the website, in case anyone needs more convincing:( Read more... )

Title: Friendsourced (from the blog of John H. Watson)
Author: Amedia
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Word Count: 200
Rating: G.
Summary: John asks his friendslist for help with his flatmate.
Author's Note: Response to bulleteyes' drabble request: Since he has such a rich timbre to his speaking voice, John suspects Sherlock is a marvelous singer and you get to decide what he does to provoke Sherlock into revealing it.

Title: Sushi Take-Away
Author: Amedia
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Word Count: 400
Rating: PG-13. Slashy fluff. Mild kink.
Summary: Sherlock thinks he's fully trained. John disagrees. They both win.
Author's Note: Response to mellifluous_ink's drabble request for some fluffy kink where Sherlock is John's feline submissive. I was especially inspired by mel's statement that kitties are fun to play with, and pet, and honestly I like the idea of Sherlock's rudeness and destructiveness being a symptom of needing a Dom, and of him calming down once he has that.

The world of Sherlock Holmes fandom is frickin' enormous! There are stories and art and other fanworks based on various adaptations everywhere you look. So I'm not going to pretend to make recommendations as if I had read everything that's out there and these were the best - I'm just going to report on things that just stood out to me personally when I read them.

Two Sherlock (BBC) stories struck me recently as really, really enjoyable.

A is for Astronomy by janeturenne is a poetic 600-word ficlet that is dense with meaning all out of proportion to its brevity. Something about it reminds me of the best of Tin Man fanfic, though I'm not sure what.

Untitled present fluff by rabidsamfan is a delightful Christmas humor piece with great characterizations of both John and Sherlock.
