SHERLOCK 2013 Interviews

Interview with Ashley Robertson

Name/username: Ashley Robertson, Ashley_403

Favourite book you've written: It's got to be the Sherlock fan fiction that I'm writing, I've barely started and I'm already an addict to my own book and that doesn't happen to me often.

What inspired you that story?: I was watching the Reichenbach Fall episode of Sherlock for about the fiftieth time when I realised that Sherlock doesn't really show any strong emotion until that episode. I'd always noticed it but that's when it properly occurred to me. Immediately I made a link between Sherlock and my own character Nora Duncan who mirrors his personality - exactly the same but backwards.  She had been nestled in my head for quite a while along with an idea I had for a crime novel and thought why not write a fan fiction?

How did you hear about Wattpad?: After somone stole my ideas on another site like this due to lack of copyright, I googled 'great sites to share writing' and this came up!

Question about my story: You've asked me what inspired me to write mine so - What inspired your crime/case ideas for SHERLOCK? What inspired my cases starts from a symbol. From there, I build off ideas I've read in history, experienced myself, and mostly what I wouldn't like to happen if I was solving a mystery.

Overall rating (1-10) of SHERLOCK: 1, 2, & 3: 10!

How did you hear about it? Found it on a read for read and thought OMG SOMEONE ELSE LOVES SHERLOCK I AM NOT ALONE.

Favourite character and/or scene: Sherlock Holmes. 4 reasons.

1. You've managed to perfectly pictate the way he is.

2. His deductions are perfect.

3. You kept his bad points as well as his good ones.

4. He's beautiful.

Short review: SHERLOCK I, II & III manages to keep the general plot of Sherlock while adding convincing crimes for Sherlock to solve. The banter and Sherlock jargon isn't discarded but tastefully weaved throughout. And unlike a lot of Sherlock fan fictions, it's very well written!

Would you recommend it to others?: Without a doubt. It is not at all boring, tedious or dull but intriguing and extremely clever!
