Holmesslash was a Yahoo group mailing list.

As of 2015, it had 1700 members. The group required an age statement to join.
In 2019 the group was a victim of the Yahoo! Groups Content Purge.
Description
This list is for discussion of the romance/chemistry/deep abiding friendship of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. The discussions range from dry and academic to pure crack. You will also find slash-type pastishes, crack-fics, and art.This is the home of the Holmesslash Telegraph, and the archive for old Holmesian fics that one cannot find in other places.
Be advised that this group usually discusses matures themes - intimacies between men - (SLASH), and is not appropriate for minors.
Membership is moderated. To join, please follow these steps, which are in accordance with the TOS for Yahoo Groups:... If the idea of a Holmes/Watson romance(or Holmes/Watson/Other, or Holmes/Other) or if AU's featuring Holmes, Watson, (and/or anyone else in the Sherlock Holmes universe) romance isn't your thing, or you want to slam those who like slash, please don't join. Trolling isn't allowed here, nor is flaming or wanking.
If you are a lover of the idea of The Great Detective and his Boswell in a hot romance, angsty dealings in the dark, or deep abiding affection, wrap yourself in a rug, pull up to the fire, and help yourself to tobacco from the Persian slipper.
