A favour...
* If you like the idea of an entire imprint of John and Sherlock slash fiction…
* If you, you know, just kind of like the Facebook ‘like’ button…
* If you like the stories I’ve written for over four years and would like to say thank you…
Like this FB page please. In a perfect world I’d like to get this to 1,000 in the next 24 hours. There’s a reason I ask. You can unlike next week if you need to, but right now getting to one thousand would help. Thank you.

Unless it’s lung cancer. Then we blame the dying person for smoking. Or skin cancer, that’s because the person was out in the sun too much. And here’s one I heard just recently: apparently I got cancer because I didn’t express my emotions enough. Every fourth person you meet will tell you that vitamins, a good diet, and/or proper exercise would have prevented this situation, tut tut, You must have failed somehow! OBVIOUSLY! Every fourth person has made good choices, you see, and that’s why they didn’t get cancer and I did. Apparently. It makes everyone feel safer when they can blame the victim. As long you can make yourself believe that a sick person did something to cause their own cancer, you get to pretend you have the power to avoid it yourself.
Don’t blame the victim for losing the fight? What is the cliche for breaking the news that cancer has killed someone? He lost his fight against cancer. That is literally the cancer paradigm. Save the ta tas practically blames women for the loss of their own damn breasts.
Dear people who have never had cancer: please stop using cancer as your allegorical parable. That image you have in your mind about what it’s like to have cancer is so fake it’s actually pretty offensive.
What Ivy said.
The number of people who have suggested to Harry that his own life choices have led to his disease has astounded and appalled me - and yet they simultaneously urge him to ‘stay positive’ in order to beat it.
I am a gentle person, but it makes me want to rip their hearts out via their spleens.

Soooooo, may I announce MX Publishing’s newest venture: the imprint Improbable Press. Improbable Press will specialise in Sherlock Holmes romance and erotica and “The Six Secret Loves of Sherlock Holmes” by Atlin Merrick (me!) will be the imprint’s first book.
The next books Improbable Press will publish include Verity Burns’ “All The Difference,” N. M. Harris’ “The Adventure of the Colonial Boy,” and Atlin Merrick’s “The Night They Met.”
It would be wonderful if you liked Improbable Press’s Facebook page…let us know you’d like to read Sherlock Holmes romance erotica, both canon and contemporary. I and my gay unicorn friends thank you!
Pssst! The Amazon page wish list for “The Six Secret Loves of Sherlock Holmes.”

I’ve been listening to The Heart in the Whole before I go to bed. This is my favorite scene.
And when he knew it all, when he had learned everything there was to learn, and gleaned every bit of new information that could possibly be gained from this experience, Sherlock was surprised to discover that it wasn’t enough, and he kept on kissing John and realised that it would never be enough and it dawned on him that he had found a new addiction which made cocaine look like caffeine and he wasn’t sure if he was addicted to kissing or addicted to John, but it didn’t seem to matter because John was there, and he wasn’t going to leave, and he would never leave and at that point it became imperative to stop, and he had to stop, and he forced himself to stop and to raise his head and put his hands on John’s face to keep him from following and, “I love you,” he said.
And then John choked out his reply and kissed him again and John’s face was wet but he was smiling and they kept on kissing, although it was more difficult because John couldn’t stop smiling, or was it Sherlock who was smiling, or Sherlock whose face was wet and he couldn’t tell, and it didn’t matter because they were together… and they went to bed, eventually, but they didn’t do anything more, they just lay together, kissing and murmuring and wrapped around each other and Sherlock felt whole… and complete… and perfectly happy, and he wouldn’t have exchanged John for his vision, or his life, or anything in the world that he could think of.

Reasons to be Grateful to Fandom
I’ve written nearly 400,000 words about two characters I believe to be soul mates.
A year ago today, they led me to my own.
Love you, Harry.
