27 January 2008 -- My dear readers! If you are reading this and are frustrated by the lack of updates in the gasp five months or so, it is time to rejoice! I have just finished typing up the rough draft of chapter twenty and will start the revision process fairly soon. I apologize for stopping this lovely story and starving you for more chapters. In the past months, there have been several attempts to write but my muse had ditched me. Hopefully my muse will stay for a considerable amount of time :).

Thanks for sticking by me,
adlersdaughter

Hello all out there! I am known as adlersdaughter here in the fanfiction community and I write mostly Sherlock Holmes pastiches. Please read my story, An Unconventional Proposal Asides from writing, I also make films using the Sims 2 game. If you would like to view my movies, they can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=artemis44. If you want to contact me, here is some places to go: http://myspace.com/petitemaisjolie or at my e-mail: sparrowsbonnylass@hotmail.com.

Please read MeGoobie's stories here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1145563/. She has willingly volunteered to be my beta reader so she'll be slogging through my chapters and helping me write the best story I can. She makes wicked avatars too (i.e. the one I use now )

IMPORTANT NOTE!
I have made some pictures of Holmes and Charlotte among other characters.
If you want to look at them (and other brand new characters), go to my Myspace page and there's a photo album there designated for the pictures.

I have been taking a proverbial stroll through the world of Holmesian fanfiction lately and there are few stories that I really love but there's a lot of...um, how should I say this...less than favorable depictions of the great detective here. I've been wondering if I could make a sort of haven for Holmes stories of great calibre that can get lost in the shuffle of unrealistic portrayals of Holmes and the numerous Mary Sues. If anyone's interested, let me know.

That's all for me...just please leave reviews and comments about my story. Thanks!!
