Tumblr round-up

[martasfic]

I'm trying to get back into the habit of sharing things I write and pass on through other sites, most recently Tumblr. It's too much effort to pull out everything but how about a favorite post from the last week, a link to the Tumblr page (where you can browse things I've recently shared on that site), and links to things I wrote myself, like discussions and fan fic recs?

Where It's Always 1895

All things Sherlock, as well as the BBC actors' other projects + Tom Hiddleston

1. My pick: Weren't You Lucky You Found Me?, by johnwatso. Simply stunning artwork of how Sherlock misses John in series three of the BBC series

Worthy mention: what has to be my favorite subtitle from the Jeremy Brett Holmes adaptation.

2. My Contributions:

a) Is Mary a Liar, or Not?
b) PSA on suicide and how to talk about the people left behind
c) on the connection between Private Life and Belgravia
d) Fic Rec: Skip Code, by Susan
e) on the East Wind as a metaphor for middle age
f) on the false divide between asexuals and homo/heterosexuals, and how it applies to Sherlock

3. See them all.

Marta's Mathoms

All things fannish but non-Sherlockian.

1. My pick: the last three Doctors with mini-companions, by nathanielemmet. He forgot Mickey, but who doesn't?

Worthy mention: notanightlight's headcanon about elves always stopping to make children giggle, no matter the situation. Hilarious!

2. My contribution: Fan Fic Rec: No More Shadows, by Linaewen

3. See them all.

The World Outside Your door

RL Seriousness, my opinions on matters of the day, and links to news articles I found rec-worthy.

1. My pick: Emerson on why quoting people rather than developing our own opinions can be poisonous

2. See them all.

Beautiful Things

Things that make me smile, laugh, or move me to awe, outside of fandom

1. My pick: Fire in San Francisco. Simply beautiful.

Worthy mention: Itty-bitty turtles. 1,000% your daily recommended allowance of d'awwwwww.

2. See them all.

I'd love to see the itty bitty turtles, but the link doesn't work for me. Can you give the URL?

It should be fixed now, but in case it isn't:

It's fixed, thanks! Oh gosh, how adorable. I've always loved turtles.

Thanks for sharing here. I have a Tumblr account but very rarely use it as the site makes my head spin! I loved Linaewen's story.It is a scene I never tire off despite writing many stories based on it and reading many more.
