Formula for a Bone-Fiddle-verse story
Dec. 4th, 2014 02:45 pmAdd:
- At least 1 creepy Appalachian folktale/true crime story/murder ballad
- At least 1 ACD-canon Sherlock Holmes story, shamelessly raided for the best parts
- At least 2 items from Jeff Foxworthy's You Might Be a Redneck If... list.
- Porn
(Follow standard distilling techniques at your hidden still in the woods. If you have to shoot a revenuer or two, well, that's just part of the creative process.)
Bottle and profit!
Edit: Let's talk about this list!
Sherlock and John are totally guilty of #57.
#153 is a story I've already written, so they're definitely both on the hook for that too.
I believe Sherlock is guilty of: 2, 6, 10 (if John is his honorary "wife"), 26 (if Mrs. Hudson is his honorary "mother"), 27, 31, 35, 38 (he was hired as a consultant for one side of the dispute), 43, 48, 63, 69, 94, 96, 111, 130, 179 (okay, it's Devil's Foot, not flowers. Close enough), 205, 224, 267 (again, with John as "wife."), and 300. Sadly, in the early 70s 297 would have applied as well. Now it doesn't (pretty sure this was supposed to be an incest joke. That isn't made clear, though). He actually does 164 with moonshine in a story we haven't finished!
John is definitely a perpetrator of 11, 22, 42, 55, 71, 86 (before he moved in with Sherlock), 88, 95, 104, 114, 120, 138 (before Sherlock - but I wouldn't put it past him even now), 156, 158, 177, 202, and 266 (before Sherlock)
No matter how high-falutin' he talks, Sherlock passes the redneck test with more flying colors than even John does.
