Harry Potter: The Inclusive Version

With the recent news that JK Rowling is taking things a step further and using new funds from our nostalgia trip to fund Anti-Trans bills, I decided to say a giant fuck you to that and reclaim my childhood as my own. I have started writing out a new version of the Harry Potter Universe in more Modern day times and things we all wanted but JK Rowling deprived us of. This AU, New Age Harry Potter universe is for all writers, artists, and cosplayers to use who still want to be apart of the Harry Potter world we all love but feel they can't support JK Rowling's version anymore.

I give you all a new version to support and put your love into while still holding onto the nostalgia you feel for the Wizarding World. I give you Harry Potter: The Inclusive Version.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

The School - Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry is still a castle but has fewer death traps and tricky things that cause you to miss class (Like phantom steps or doorways that lead to walls cause who thought that was a good idea?). For those that still like to get up to mischief, don’t worry there are still plenty of secret corridors behind well-hidden buttons or levers or things that require a particular rhyme to open. The tunnels behind them lead all over, from different areas of the school to the Forbidden Forest, all the way to Hogsmeade. There are even rumors of one that disappears and reappears at the same time a specific room does.

The Teachers - They are many lovely teachers at Hogwarts though the Dark Arts teacher changed for a few years the one that stuck around was well-loved by all the students.

Core Classes

Astronomy - Professor Aurora Sinistra

Charms - Professor Filius Flitwick

Defense Against the Dark Arts (D.A.D.A.) - Quinirus Quirrel (First year only), Gilderoy Lockhart (Second year only), Remus Lupin (Third year-Present)

Herbology - Professor Pomona Sprout

History of Magic -Professor Cuthbert Binns

Potions - Professor Severus Snape

Transfiguration - Professor Minerva McGonagall

Electives

Arithmancy - Professor Septima Vector

Care of Magical Creatures - Professor Rubeus Hagrid

Divination - Professor Sybill Trelawney

Muggle Studies - Professor Charity Burbage

Study of Ancient Runes - Professor Bathsheda Babbling

Advanced Arithmancy Studies - Professor Septima Vector

Alchemy - Professor Carina Birch (I had to make one up because there isn’t one on the wiki)

Extra-Curricular Subjects

Ancient Studies - Professor Delta Grace (Another made up one)

Apparition - Professor Wilkie Twycross

Art - Professor Crow Sterling (Made up)

Flying - Professor Rolanda Hooch

Ghoul Studies - Professor Cedar Hinde (Made up)

Magical Theory - Professor Eleazar Fig

Muggle Art - Professor Charity Burbage

Muggle Music -Professor Charity Burbage

Music - Professor Basil Yetis (Made up)

Xylomancy - Professor Sybill Trelawney

How Different Holidays Work - There are a vast array of magical students attending Hogwarts and not all of them share the same religions or subsequent holiday traditions due to that fact, but the Hogwarts staff are very accepting and accommodating of all the students they care for and have ways of making sure they get to spend the holidays with their families accordingly.

3 days before Hanukkah in the given year any students who practice Judaism and wish to spend Hanukkah with their families will be given a sign-up sheet with the option to sign up to stay at school or leave their names off the list and be planned to be on the train ride to Platform 9 ¾ to meet their families. They will spend their 8 days with their families and then have two more nights to say goodbyes and goof off before getting on the train back to Hogwarts.

As for those who celebrate Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the staff keeps track of when those holidays are coming and during Eid al-Fitr, they make sure the house elves who work the kitchens are aware of whose fasting so food isn’t sent their way and when it comes times for salat, there is an emptied out hall they keep just for Muslim students to pray in when they want or need to. 3 days before Eid al-Adha, teachers offer another signup sheet to either stay at school or students who wish to visit their families to celebrate with them and be with them during that time will be free to take the train back to Platform 9 ¾ to be with their families for a week. After the week ends, they will return back to school and continue their classes.

For those who celebrate Christmas, a signup sheet is passed around on December 21st to see who wants to stay at school, and those who do not sign up get to return home to their families for the holiday and spend Christmas Eve and Day through to New Years with their families and then the day after New Years return to Hogwarts to continue classes.

For those that celebrate Kwanzaa, another signup sheet goes around just after the Christmas kids have left on December 23rd, and those who decided to get to return home to spend Kwanzaa with their families before returning to school on January 3rd just after the Christmas kids get back as well to resume classes.

Magic Traditions - The Goblet of Fire was a tradition for a long time but luckily that stayed banned because it’s deadly and who would pin a bunch of school children in a fucking death match? But Quidditch is much less deadly, though still dangerous it’s still a beloved sport of the Wizarding World. Another beloved tradition that’s still around is the Sorting Ceremony but the school’s much less divided nowadays. The teachers have long since realized that if siblings who only know each other get put in different houses it may cause a very bad rift between them, especially for ones who are younger siblings. So they allow people to mingle between tables and as long as you have permission from a member belonging to the house, you’re allowed to be in another house's common room. They are however magical precautions against people giving away separate house passwords to each other or for anyone who doesn’t have a house's permission to sneak into another house's common room. Professor Flitwick is quite good with charms y’know?

The Potter Prophecy - Lily and James Potter died at the hands of Lord Voldemort and Lily dying to protect her child gave him the protection that lasted his whole life. But as for being left on the Dursley’s doorstep by a morally-grey man who wanted to raise that child for slaughter? Uh-uh, no, not in my good magical household. You see in this life there were better resources and better options. In other words, the person who caught up to Sirius Black wasn’t a goddamned moron and checked his wand to see what spell was cast last and saw that he in fact did not just blow up a man. On top of that Professor Albus Dumbledore decided to have a heart and tell them that Sirius Black wasn’t the Potters' secret keeper and that it was in fact, Pettigrew. Long story short, Sirius Black never went to Azkaban and since he was Harry’s Godfather he had first dibs on adopting Harry. So instead of being raised in the abusive Dursley house, Harry was raised by his two gay Uncles, Sirius and Remus, and grew up feeling loved and knowing who and what he was. Of course, the kid wasn’t raised to have an ego or be anything but polite yet sarcastic, much like Remus, but he knew from a certain age why people always stared at him and were always giddy to meet him.

New Age Wands - Wands aren’t what they used to be either. Ollivander was the first wandmaker to start pioneering a new way of making wands more concealable to muggles when people started finding ways to charm technology into working around and with magic. You see a guy pulling out a long spindly stick as a reflex when he gets angry kinda makes people start to question things a little when he acts like it’s a weapon of mass destruction and his cousin acts like that stick is a knife pointed at his throat. So mixing wands into things like umbrellas, and selfie sticks, heck they even sell wands that flip out like a switchblade or collapse into a handle like pens. Of course, finding the right type of wand is done the old-fashioned way of which wand chooses you, so you find the right wand in the normal form but if you want it to be concealable Ollivander has no problem making it that way for a little extra charge.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

So there you have it. The first post to the new Harry Potter. I'll finish up the Character stuff I have and post it later. Also, I deeply apologize if any of the stuff about other holidays is off, particularly the Muslim holidays. I don't know about other holiday traditions beside Hanukkah really and as much as I tried to do the best research I could into the topics of the other holidays to get the information right there wasn't a lot of good info about how Eid is celebrated. Feel free to correct me and I will make changes to it. I appreciate any feedback.

Hi! So....

I know my readers are maaaybe anxiously awaiting an update on one of my fics...However...

I'm in a bit of a rut, story wise. I can't seem to get in the right mind frame for any of my WIPs. Though I love them with no bounds! I tried re-reading them, watching the movies back. Anything to get inspired. Yet, the only thing I accomplished was...starting a new fic😬

I have two chapters written already and starting on the third. Do you guys want me to post it and just have another WIP to work with or would you rather I just work on it on the sidelines and only post when I have an update to one of my current WIPs?

It's a modern AU work with (of course) Tony Stark and an OFC. Sort of based on the series "The Maid" but much more angsty and actually pretty different. I just took, basically, the concept of a maid in Stark Tower. But I'm leaning towards a no powers AU.

Thoughts? Questions? Please 🙏 hit me up in any way to tell me what you think! Color me desperate!

@misspoisonouslove @amanda-wilkie @lookalivefrosty @rognna @lust-discipline @damnitwhyme @patheticallysentimental @lonnie2390147 @fordloveofstark @leticiagx @serrabloodsong @im-so-madd @khaw-lla97

Niektóre egzemplarze drzewa daktylowego mogą przetrwać nawet ponad 1000 lat.

Amuse-bouches daktyle z serem w szynce parmeńskiej

THE END <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

*** *** *** Gdzie się podziały moje daktyle? Wyszedłem z domu tylko na chwilę! Wyszedłem z domu wracam po chwili, patrzę - o rety! Nie ma daktyli!

Gdzie się podziały moje daktyle? Może je zjadły straszne goryle? Z okropnym rykiem do domu wpadły, moje daktyle bezczelnie zjadły!

A te goryle, gdzie się podziały? Czy je przepędził króliczek mały? Przyleciał w żółtym aeroplanie, sprawił gorylom potężne lanie!

A ten króliczek? Gdzie on się schował? Może go w lesie spotkała krowa i ślub z nim wzięła, a w zeszły piątek sześć urodziła królokrowiątek?

A gdzie ta krowa? Kto mi odpowie? Czy jest w Krakowie? Czy w Ozorkowie? Ponoć niedawno widziały wilki, jak kupowała do włosów szpilki.

Wilki? Przepraszam to były słonie! Jeden nie duży, w złotej koronie, drugi kudłaty i piegowaty, wciąż tylko wisiał na telefonie!

Do kogo dzwonił? Może do kawki? Ale jej w głowie tylko szczypawki! Nie dość, że głucha i że kłamczucha, jeszcze ma w szkole cztery poprawki!

Z czego? A nie wiem! Spytam łasicy, tej co w dżinsowej chodzi spódnicy i gumę żuje, i której wujek zawsze daktyle dla mnie kupuje!

Więc gdzie są w końcu moje daktyle? Czy je straszliwe zjadły goryle? Małe króliczki? Czarne perliczki? Wilki, motylki czy krokodyle?

A wy? Przyznajcie się moi mili - czyście tamtędy nie przechodzili? Czy to nie wasze mądre kawały, że te daktyle wyparowały?

Nie? Więc niech każdy z was mi odpowie, czemu mu rośnie palma na głowie?

Wawiłow Danuta - Daktyle *** *** ***

The Whole Nine Yards

Sometimes it feels like it is all about numbers. In the Judaea- Christian tradition numbers have always held importance with seven symbolising completeness and perfection. The number eight means a new beginning or new creation in a biblical context[1]. In terms of the Spiritual Accompaniment Process the eighth meeting was certainly significant and a new way of thinking that has been brewing…

Clochette découvre l'arrière pays néo zélandais et son manque de réseau ! C'est beau, c'est vert, c'est vallonné, et ... Absolument sans 4g.

Sinon, on a mieux commencé cette journée que la précédente : pas de gadoue où s'embourber, pas de pantalon ruiné, et un soleil radieux pour nous accueillir, ça fait plaisir !

On est parties faire la balade des Wilkies Pools dans la forêt des gobelins sur le mont Taranaki, ça fait très fées, dragons et korrigans...

On n'a pas rencontré de bestioles fantastiques étranges, juste un prêtre indien au rire communicatif :") Les petits trous d'eau étaient tout choupis, et on voyait sacrément bien comment l'eau avait creusé la roche, ça créait un genre de toboggan tout lisse où j'aurais bien posé les fesses si l'eau avait été à plus de 10° ! (Bon, et si j'avais pu y rentrer plus d'une demi cuisse, mais ne chipotons pas sur les détails, ils avaient l'air tout doux ces toboggans ❤️)

Après être reparties par une boucle nettement moins gentille avec les fauteuils roulants, retour à la voiture sous le soleil (et un vent glacial). La lumière dans la forêt était assez magique !

Cette balade fort sympathique terminée, on avait prévu de faire le tour du Mont pour se promener de l'autre côté. Au vu de la quantité de nuages noirs amoncelés là haut, et du paysage en train de passer du vert au gris, on a plutôt choisi de s'éloigner de la tempête et de rejoindre le lac Rotokare, une réserve naturelle protégée par une immense clôture qui donne un peu l'impression de rentrer dans Jurassic Park !

La grande clôture est faite pour empêcher les prédateurs extérieurs de rentrer : elle est partiellement enterrée pour éviter les fouisseurs, possède une partie en surplomb pour ceux qui grimpent, et il y a même un système d'alarme pour signaler une brèche si un arbre tombe dessus pendant une tempête par exemple ! Le plus drôle a dû être de s'assurer qu'il n'y avait plus de prédateurs dedans au moment où ils ont fermé l'enceinte...

Mais du coup, c'est un petit paradis pour les oiseaux, et ils ne sont pas farouches ! Il est pas beau notre Pukake ? (Ils ont les fesses toute blanches, c'est très marrant quand ils relèvent un peu les ailes) Ils font très poule d'eau bleu géante, on les voit souvent en bord de routes

Après un joli pique nique et une petite balade, on est reparties sous un temps qui commençait à sérieusement se mitiger ... On a bien fait de venir ici et de fuir la montagne ! On a eu tout juste le temps de découvrir comment fonctionne cette petite merveille mise en place gratuitement par une commune (vive la Nouvelle Zélande, pays du road trip) avant de se prendre les premières gouttes. C'est une station de vidange/remplissage de nos réserves d'eau. Eh bien franchement, pour une première fois, on n'a fait aucune catastrophe, aucun tuyau ne nous a explosé au visage, c'était magnifique. *Fières*

Et on a repris la route sur la forgotten Highway (qui porte bien son nom, on a dû croiser 5 maisons en 120 bornes) vers le Tongariro, où on devrait arriver demain (enfin, aujourd'hui, puisque j'écris le post avec une journée de retard hehe), et on s'est arrêtées vers 16h quand la pluie nous a violemment rattrapées... On a donc passé la fin d'après midi vautrées sur le lit du bas à boire du cidre en regardant une série au scénario présentant plus d'incohérences que ma copie de philo du bac, c'est la vie ! Plein de bizoux 😘

Lama-Musik wagt sich in diesem Jahr nochmal mit einer Veranstaltung aus der Deckung und lädt gemeinsam mit der Buchhandlung BiBaBuZe zum Doppelkonzert mit Kristina Jung und Esther Quade ein.

Donnerstag, 3. November 2022, 20 Uhr, 8 Euro Eintritt

Buchhandlung BiBaBuZe, Aachener Straße 1, 40223 Düsseldorf Esther Quade hat im Alter von Zwölf Jahren angefangen ihre eigenen Songs zu schreiben und zu singen. Bis heute hat sie zum Glück nicht damit aufgehört und nach eigenen Angaben über 1000 Songs geschrieben. Elf Stück davon kann man auf dem 2021 erschienen Album „Bat“ hören. Eindringliche Stücke, die man vielleicht am besten ins Genre Indie-Pop packt. Cool und selbstbestimmt klingt das und davon überzeugt man sich im Idealfall bei einem Konzert! https://estherquade.bandcamp.com/

Kristina Jung hat schon 2015 ein Konzert für uns gespielt. Eigentlich war ihr Auftritt „nur“ als Vorprogramm für Colin Wilkie geplant, aber als dieser sich sehr kurzfristig krankmelden musste, wurde Kristina der Hauptact und hat ein fantastisches Konzert hingelegt. Sie macht Singer-Songwriter-Musik. Andere würden vielleicht schlicht Folk sagen, doch dies greift womöglich zu kurz. Folk klingt nach Handwerk und lässt das transzendentale, was Kristinas Musik anhaftet beiseite. Dieses schwebende ist bei ihrer, an Joni Mitchel erinnernden, Stimme wohl gar nicht zu vermeiden.

https://kristinajung.bandcamp.com/

Zusagen helfen uns bei der Planung ungemein. Schickt einfach eine Mail an [email protected]

Pilot/Episode 1: Patching Things Up With Pastiche & Fanfiction

Hi, hello, and the wait is finally over! My name is Blessie, and welcome to the first episode webisode log installation I've decided to call these things an episode for now because why not also let me know what do you actually call these things episode of The Science of Fanfiction, where we take a closer look into our beloved works of fanon because we've all got plenty of time to spare till Season 5. Before I continue, I would like to thank everyone who's liked and reblogged the last few posts before this one. It means a lot for a small and growing Tumblr user like me, and your support is something I cherish more than my modules. You guys rock!

Anyways, like with most things, we have to talk about the boring and bland stuff before we proceed with the fun stuff. For today, we are going to settle the difference between a couple of things: first being the confusion between pastiche and fanfiction; then the distinctions between tropes, clichés, and stereotypes, which we'll tackle the next time. It's important for us to establish their true meanings in order for us to really understand what fanfiction truly is, even if it's merely just a work done for the fandom. I know – it's boring, it's something that shouldn't be expounded that much, but I believe that all forms of writing (unless it's plagiarised) is a work of art — and fanfiction is not something we always talk about. I hope that by the end of this, you'll learn about what they really are as much as I did. Let's begin to talk about the—

[Image ID: A flashback of John (left) and Sherlock (right) finding an elephant (not in the screen) in a room in The Sign of Three. End ID]

. . . I did say that this GIF will always have to make an appearance here, didn't I?

So, just as with Sherlock Holmes, all other works of fiction have their own pastiches and fanfiction, and many more original works out there have taken inspiration from them to create their own books. Although they've gained popular attention, this will not be possible if they did not have taken inspiration from the materials their writers had at the time.

[Image ID: Various actors as Dracula. Jeremy Brett in 'Dracula' (1978) (upper left), Adam Sandler in a voice role for 'Hotel Transylvania' (2012) (upper right), Gary Oldman in 'Dracula' (1992) (lower left), and Bela Lugosi in 'Dracula' (1933) (lower right). End ID]

For instance, Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' (the second most adapted literary character, next to the consulting detective himself) has been portrayed on the screen over 200 times — from Gary Oldman to Adam Sandler — and has spawned off numerous books and pastiches of its own such as Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot'. Its cultural impact served as a basis of how we see vampires today, since some characteristics of the Count were made by Stoker himself. Stoker's creation is the brainchild of his predecessors and inspirations.

[Image ID: Vlad the Impaler (left) and a book cover of 'Carmilla' by J. Sheridan Le Fanu (right). End ID]

Other than the ongoing hysteria over dead back then and the existing vampire folklore, Stoker also took his inspirations from the published books on vampires he had at hand. He is said to have taken inspiration from Vlad the Impaler, a Romanian national hero known allegedly for having impalement as his favourite method of torture. He is also said to have been inspired by the J. Sheridan Le Fanu's 'Carmilla', a Gothic lesbian vampire novella that predates Dracula by 26 years. I could go on, but hey, we're going back to Sherlock Holmes now before I deviate any further. However, if you want to know about Dracula's literary origins, I suggest you watch Ted-ED's videos about the subject matter such as this one or this one.

Very much like Stoker, ACD didn't just conceive Holmes on his own. He took his own inspirations from what he had available at the time.

[Image ID: Dr Joseph Bell (left) and Edgar Allan Poe (right). End ID]

As we all know, ACD's biggest inspiration for Sherlock Holmes was one of his teachers at the Edinburgh University, Joseph Bell. He was famous for his powers of deduction, and he was also interested in forensic science — both characteristics which Holmes is greatly known for. He also drew inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe's sleuth, C. Auguste Dupin ('The Purloined Letter' & 'Murders in Rue Morgue'). As ACD himself has said at the 1909 Poe Centennial Dinner: "Where was the detective story until Poe breathed life into it?" Some other writers he took after are Wilkie Collins, Émile Gaboriau, and Oscar Wilde.

Now, what does this say about us Sherlockians/Holmesians (depending if you're the coloniser or the one that was colonised)? Basically, ACD laid the groundwork for us with Sherlock Holmes: his humble abode 221B that he shares with his flatmate Dr. John Watson, his adventures, memoirs, return, casebook, last vow, and all that. Now that we have this material at hand, we can now make our own versions, takes, or even original stories featuring the characters of the Canon. Our inspiration comes from ACD's Sherlock Holmes, and we now get the chance to make our very own stories/conspiracy theories about them.

As I have mentioned earlier, Sherlock Holmes is the most adapted literary character in history. He has been adapted in over 200 films, more than 750 radio adaptations, a ballet, 2 musicals; and he's become a mouse, a woman, a dog, even a bloody cucumber. On top of all that are numerous pastiches and fanfics, and finally, we have arrived at the main topic of our post!

Fanfiction and pastiche are often confused together since they have three common elements: they take after the original work, they usually use the characters in that original work, and more often than not do are they set in that same time frame/period or not long after that. The common misconception is that pastiche are printed fanfiction, which is only partly true. While pastiche is definitely fanfiction in some ways and vice versa, there are fanfictions out there that aren't necessarily classified as pastiche that have been published.

Let's get on with our definition of terms to clear up the confusion a little more. Pastiche, according to Literary Terms, is:

. . . a creative work that imitates another author or genre. It’s a way of paying respect, or honor, to great works of the past. Pastiche differs from parody in that pastiche isn’t making fun of the works it imitates – however, the tone of pastiche is often humorous.

A good example of a pastiche is Sophie Hannah's 'The Monogram Murders', which is her take from Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.

[Image ID: A book cover of 'The Monogram Murders' by Sophie Hannah. End ID.]

Although this was a commission from Christie's estate, it's still considered as a pastiche as:

It's takes after Christie's writing style;

It is set in the early years of Poirot's career (1929), which is still within the time frame that the author wrote him in;

It features Poirot and;

It pays respect to Christie in a sense that it stays true to her (Christie) characters and way of storytelling.

Meanwhile, our good and slightly unreliable friend Wikipedia defines fanfiction as:

. . . is fictional writing written by fans, commonly of an existing work of fiction. The author uses copyrighted characters, settings, or other intellectual property from the original creator(s) as a basis for their writing. [It] ranges from a couple of sentences to an entire novel, and fans can both keep the creator's characters and settings and/or add their own. [ . . . ] [It] can be based on any fictional (and sometimes non-fictional) subject. Common bases for fanfiction include novels, movies, bands, and video games.

To avoid any copyright infringement issues if I ever use a popular fanfic in the fandom, we'll use my (unfinished and unpopular) Sherlock Wattpad fic, 'Play Pretend'. You can read it here.

[Image ID: The second self-made book cover of Blessie/shezzaspeare's 'Play Pretend'. End ID]

Why is it considered a fanfiction and not a pastiche?

It takes after an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes (BBC Sherlock) which is a TV show, not the ACD canon itself;

The author (in this case myself) uses her own writing style and does not take after the original story's style;

Although it is set well in modern-day London and after Season 4, it also features scenes decades before the actual fanfic is set and outside of London;

I added a considerable number of characters, i.e. siblings to canon characters;

I had my own take some of the canon characters' personality especially after the events of Sherrinford;

It is written by a fan – myself. It is a work of fan labour and;

It is only a work of fanon, and isn't likely going to be considered by the show as its writing style is different from the actual show.

To put it simply, you can have more freedom in a fanfiction as it does not necessarily restrict you to follow or take after the original stories. Alternate universes (AUs) such as Unilock and Teenlock are perfect examples of this thing.

So can a pastiche be classified as fanfiction? Yes.

Can a fanfiction be classified as pastiche? Not all the time.

What's the difference? While yes, they share the basics, pastiche is technically leans more onto the original work's fundamental elements whereas fanfiction is a broader range of works inspired by the original work but doesn't necessarily follow all or any of its fundamental elements.

In order for us to understand it more, I'll give another example.

[Image ID: The 'Enola Holmes' title card (upper left) and Henry Cavill as its Sherlock holmes (upper right). Underneath it is a a scene from the opening titles of BBC Sherlock (lower left) and Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes in A Scandal In Belgravia. (lower right) End ID]

Most of you are familiar with these 21st-century adaptations of Holmes: the 2020 adaptation of Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes books and BBC Sherlock, which needs no further explanation – but for those who don't know, it's basically Holmes and the gang if they were alive today. I specifically chose these two as they are the ones that I believe would get my points across best. Though both are considered as wonderful pastiches with a well-rounded cast and awesome visuals, if we break them down bit by bit, we'll see which one is more of a pastiche and which one is more of a fanfic. (Yes, I know they're both screen adaptations. However, as Enola Holmes was based on the books and BBC Sherlock's fanfiction has the show's scenes written out in most fanfics, hear me out.)

They share these characteristics of a pastiche:

They feature characters from the Canon (Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, and Lestrade);

They have additional characters added by the writers (Including but not limited to Molly Hooper, Eurus Holmes, and Philip Anderson for BBC Sherlock while Enola Holmes has Lord Tewkesbury, Eudoria Holmes, and Enola herself) and;

They pay respect to the original Canon as their stories are based on the cases (BBC Sherlock) or simply what was going on around them (Enola Holmes).

They also share these characteristics of a fanfic:

They are made by enthusiasts of Sherlock Holmes (Moffat has called himself and Mark Gatiss 'Sherlock Holmes geeks', while Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes books are not just one or two but six);

They follow a common trope (we'll discuss these tropes in the following episodes) that goes on in the fandom (Sherlock's Sister & Modern AU)

They are based on a fictional subject (Sherlock Holmes);

They used characters and story elements that are copyrighted by the author/author's estate (fun fact: prior to the production of Enola Holmes, the Conan Doyle Estate filed a lawsuit against Springer & Netflix over Sherlock's emotions since he was more 'sympathetic' than he was portrayed in the Canon – this was later dismissed by both parties) and;

Their writing styles don't necessarily follow ACD's.

Despite these similarities, there are very obvious differences between the two that separates them from being a pastiche and a fanfiction.

Enola Holmes embodies pastiche more as it doesn't stray far away from the original elements of the Canon. It's still set in Victorian England. While Springer added characters of her own and definitely twisted the Canon to suit her series, she didn't necessarily place them out of the social construct that was going on around the characters. It follows ACD's writing style more as Enola Holmes' setting still remains within the Canon's original setting.

Meanwhile, we can safely say that BBC Sherlock is a work of fanfiction. While it did give us The Abominable Bride, the main series focused on Holmes and Watson in 21st-century England, which is drastically different from Victorian England. There are phones, black cabs, and cellphones — things which ACD Sherlock Holmes doesn't have. It also diverted from the Canon in the characters themselves, which is mostly seen in the names: Henry Baskerville became Henry Knight, Charles Augustus Milverton became Charles Augustus Magnussen, the H in Dr Watson's name stood for Hamish and Sherlock's full name is actually William Sherlock Scott Holmes. They also changed the personalities of some Canon characters: Mary was actually an ex-assassin, Mrs Hudson was an exotic dancer who drove a kick-ass sports car, Irene Adler is a dominatrix, to name a few. Moffat and Gatiss created a world of their own featuring the characters of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which is really what most of us fanfic writers do with Mofftiss' rendition of Holmes.

In conclusion: while pastiche and fanfiction could have been the same thing, they're actually not. There's more to them that just printed fanfiction or pastiche e-books, and we all should take some time to see and observe them in a closer perspective.

And that's it for our first episode! I hope you enjoyed it. It was a lot fun for me to write this, especially now that I'm only starting. I would also like to note that while intensive research has been done on this series, some parts of this comes from my own observation and opinion, which may vary from yours. I am very much open to criticism, as long as it is said in a polite and civil manner. I'm still young, and to be educated as I go is something that could really help me with this series.

Like and reblog this you like it. It helps out a lot. Be sure to follow me as well and the tags underneath if you want to see more of TSoF.
