META!FIC IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD.

[fiarra]

Seriously, I adore it. Giant love letters to fandom. <3 The last time I fell in love with it, it was over Pendragon/Merlin. This time, Sherlock fandom has given me something equally amazing.

The prompt: Sherlock is a well-known fanartist whose online antics always land him on fandom_wank. John's a beloved BNF fanfiction author. They meet at a convention; geeky love ensues.

What ended up coming out of this was a long fic about fandom, wank, and community. There are actual journals made for all the characters. holmeschat is a real thing now. There are twitter accounts, devArt accounts, and a TVTropes page.

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL.

Anyway, here are the links to all the parts of the fic on the kinkmeme. Definitely read through all the comments for more fun things. I have plans to go poke through all the associated journals tomorrow.

(I realize that most of the people on my flist who care about this have probably already seen it, but I just have a lot of feelings)
