Hello and welcome! colebaltblue and I are Holmesians too (we run holmestice, a twice-yearly anon pan-Holmesian gift exchange), and dabble in Doctor Who as well. (We're working our way through 8th Doctor audios right now -- our love for Bush is deeply entangled with our appreciation of Paul McGann.)

Hurrah, new fic! And oh, goodness, I see you started that series ten years ago, when the LJ fandom was more active -- I recognize some of those names! (colebaltblue has been digging our way through the archives of the LJ comms in the search of fic and other fanworks. Even with what's been lost to journal-deletions, there's still so much good stuff there!)

And please, if you want to lead any meta/historical discussions, feel free! sharpiefan did a lovely series a few months ago about the roles of marines on Royal Navy ships, if that's of interest. Or suggest topics to us, and we'll see what we can scrape up.
