>>24967613>pastiche fiction is bad because… it just is, okay?!
>>24967385Haven't read any fanfiction. I think I only read two stories: Speckled Band years ago, and Silver Blaze recently. Speckled Band was on an app called Booktrack which played sound effects in the background to scrolling text. That app doesn't exist anymore. I made a thread a few days ago about Sherlock Holmes. Anyway I think it was pretty dumb that the horse was in the neighbor stable, and the scene where they talked to the trainer at that stable was dumb too. But there was still the murder besides the disappearance of the hourse, so whatever.
The Hound of the Baskervilles and Kim Newman's The Hound of D'Ubervilles, which is a series of stories about crimes from the perspectives of Moriarty and Moran.
