*hugs* Well, I have to take issue with "the wedding episode is terrible," seeing as it is my favorite episode, but I'll happily agree to disagree. ;) Since I've been convinced it is an episode entirely created to illuminate the moment Sherlock discovers he is in mad love with John, I simply have to adore it, and I do. What makes you have such a strong dislike? Hahaha, I love that you're turning into Anderson over Magnussun's mind palace. Poor you. I agree with you that the inconsistency over the physical parts of Magnussen's blackmail is frustrating. In the end, I think we are meant to believe that in fact he does not keep physical evidence, just knows what he can do to take down various people in print through his amazing memory. He's like Sherlock if Sherlock really was a sociopath, so when Sherlock kills him, he kills that cold, clinical part of himself in favor of love of John. Lovely. It's necessary for Magussen to be nothing but a "brain," in order to make this parallel, so I do think the letters are just a ruse to fool Sherlock into getting further involved. I'm excited that you are still working on the writing. It's so hard to get going again, as I've experienced, with lots of starts and stops. The outlining sounds like a great idea. Aww, some ink Snupin will make me so happy!
