The BBC's Sherlock wrapped up its third season a couple of weeks ago and won't return until an unspecified time in the future. One fan is determined to fill that gap: film producer Naomi Javor is currently hard at work adapting a piece of Sherlock fan-fiction into a web series, with actors and props and sets and everything. The fan-fic in question, A Finger Slip, explores how the show would be different if Sherlock Holmes and John Watson had not, as in the television program, become flat-mates who solve mysteries together, but rather met in their late teens, bonded over a long series of text messages, and fell begrudgingly in love. It is available to read here, crooking its bony finger at you like a hooded figure beckoning from the other side of a haunted lake.
Javor, who is directing the series with a cast and crew of volunteers, has set up a Kickstarter page that has already surpassed its $10,000 goal. Whether you want it or not, she hopes to release the first episode in October.
