What is this site about?
The site was initially a listing of
historical, fictional and canonical characters appearing, or
mentioned, in published Sherlock Holmes pastiches, parodies
and other Sherlockian writings. Later, it expanded into a
collection of summaries of those stories (intended as an aide
memoire for those, like the compiler, who can
no longer remember what happened in which pastiche). For a
history of the site & answers to FAQs go to the Notes page. A listing of the
latest additions can be found on the Updates page. Books in the
yet to be done pile are here.
Why?
Uh......we're not clear on that one yet, but would welcome any ideas on what possible use it might be. Many indexes exist for the canonical stories, but, understandably, none for the vast number of more recent efforts. This is an attempt to fill the gap.
