For a future episode, I’m keen to speak to anyone with queer experiences of classic detective novels - if you’ve always wanted to be on a podcast to talk about your Poirot/Hastings ship, now is your chance. Email is caroline [at] shedunnitshow.com if you’d like to take part.
Come talk to me!
It’s the preview trailer of Shedunnit, the podcast by @carolinecrampton that unravels the mysteries behind classic detective stories! Here, we hear from some fans about the different ways these novels have connected with them, and get a small preview of what’s coming up in the next few episodes. Shownotes / Transcript
I started a podcast all of my very own, talking about the interwar murder mysteries I love. Have a listen to this preview to hear some fellow fans talk about why they love Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers, Margery Allingham etc too.
I want to take all of these trains/boats.
My @fansplaining piece about WIPs and fic is out! Thanks so much to everyone who spoke to me - I’ve been trying to send personal notes to you all but just in case I miss anyone I thought I’d say so here too.
After years of vaguely searching 'children's book about wool smuggling' I have finally tracked down a copy of the greatest novel ever written and I'm so happy.

I’m Sherlock Holmes. I am a temporarily suspended consultant for the NYPD. This is Joan Watson, and she keeps me from doing heroin.
I have suddenly and inexplicably fallen HARD for Elementary in the last week. I think it’s because of Clyde.
I’m currently working on a piece about fanfiction works in progress, and I’d love to talk to anyone with views about this - do you read incomplete stories, or have you ever published one you haven’t finished? Have you ever messaged an author to ask why they aren’t updating? Tell me all about it! Happy to keep things anonymous if you prefer.
Thanks in advance.
Caroline is writing this for us! For Fansplaining’s Medium collection, that is. I am super eager to read her thoughts about serialized fiction and WIPs. If you have strong WIP feelings or experiences to share, please let her know?
Fic readers and writers! Surely you have some thoughts for Caroline on WIPs. 🙂
I’ve had so many brilliant responses to this, @fansplaining listeners/readers are excellent people to talk fic with.

Hi.
Helen Mirren reads.
In the late 19th century, an inexperienced doctor performed his first surgery n a room full of people. Feeling the pressure, he felt the need to perform the amputation in the quickest time possible, and ended up amputating his patient’s arm in the space of around 25 seconds. In the process of this, he accidentally amputated his assistant’s fingers too. Both patient and assistant died of sepsis, and a spectator died from shock, making it the only operation ever with a 300% mortality rate.
