 Adventures in FanFiction


Dedicated to
Jeremy Brett
who breathed life and depth into the character of
Sherlock Holmes and made it his own legend.


These writings are inspired by and filtered through the lenses of the portrayals of Holmes and Watson by Jeremy Brett, Edward Hardwicke and David Burke in the Granada series Sherlock Holmes. Characterizations revolve around the complex relationship of Holmes and Watson, not necessarily following the Canon or other theorists.

Motivated by the Sherlock Holmes series, a group of fans formed a loose society called: THE LURKERS OF THE EMPTY HOUSE.  The fruit of the group -- four volumes of the fanzine 221B BAKER STREET. Now posted on this site are some stories from the fanzines, plus, occasionally, never-before-posted adventures.

All stories are rated PG, occasionally containing intensity and/or violence. This is all fiction and not intended to infringe on any copyright held by anyone. No money changes hands, no profits are made, this is all for fun.  Stories written by GM unless otherwise noted.

Thank you Lurkers.

Thank you Arthur, Jeremy, David and Edward.
