If you enjoy the reading221b fic discussion, think about joining our online community!

This was the second year that Three Patch podcast has hosted us in the suite for a live discussion.... and this time, they recorded it for the podcast. We’re so grateful to them for being so generous with their space, and for putting in the work to record and edit the discussion. Give it a listen at the link above!

At Least There's the Football (Longfic discussion!)

Hello, Sherlock fanfic readers! The discussions are on-going (seriously, never shut down in any of the threads!) but the last new one to be introduced in this round starts tomorrow! While the previous stories were limited in length, this is our long read. Don't worry if you haven't had time to read it yet, often the discussion is most active on the weekend, but don't forget to drop by and see what we'll be discussing! At Least There's the Football is a series by Sheffiesharpe. It starts at the pool and in 14 parts ranges from gen to explicit. There is Johnlock and Mystrade and some OCs, too. You can find the series here: http://archiveofourown.org/series/9540 and then join us over on LiveJournal http://reading221b.livejournal.com to discuss it. This discussion will be locked, so even once it goes live you will need to be logged in to view it or participate. (LJ accounts are free and membership is open! Please do join us!) Jagnikgen will lead the discussion starting on Wednesday, August 17th!
