Reactions and Reviews
It captures the essence of Sherlock thanks to the ironic tale about Sherlock's relationship with John.
This my go to fic for when I'm having a bad day and need a laugh. Or even just when I need a laugh. I must have read it 50 times since finding it just a few months ago. You are awesome.Petra[2]
Our fanfiction book group, hosted here at our local library, read your fic The Internet Is Not Just For Porn. It was very, very much enjoyed. It made us laugh out loud. The metaphors were so good; from Lestrade's mind crashing like a shoddy Microsoft product to Sally shuddering that John was probably "a provider" and how it so was horrible domestic. So good! Keep up the wonderful writing and thank you for this fic. Everyone who read it gave it kudos!
