One good story, woo.

...and mediocre fanfic to boot. They use each other's name in dialogue pretty much every dang line -- who *does* that?

I'm not sure whether to be amused or frustrated that this story is literally Sherlock Holmes fanfic with a search and replace on the names. (Author wrote to ACD asking if he could write Holmes adventures, got a no in response, and published stories with different names but essentially the same. The serial numbers are still visible.)

Meh. Not impressed. Hope the other stories are better.

...I don't care if Irish is a real language and not a fantasy language -- scattering unnecessary terms through the story just jolts me out of it. Humph.
