An excellent story but too much padding  in parts 1 & 2. I was getting bored waiting for the "action" to start.

Moriarty made the BIGGEST mistake he ever could when he kidnapped Carl. That sent Sherla into a RAMPAGE. Tigger, you captured the atmosphere of the HOLMES world perfectly. But why transform into a woman? Will her lover become a man in time? Will Sherla decide to marry and have children? Fodder for more Sherla stories.

THERE ARE NO COMMENTS ON THIS STORY?!?!?!  I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!

This is simply not fair.  You have written one of the best, most complete, most detailed *novels* anywhere on the web, and yet no one has bothered to get this far and write any sort of comment in this section.  I love this story!  I was a *huge* Holmes fan as a child, and I still own a complete set of the Holmes stories.  I downloaded all the chapters and read the entire story.. twice.

I thought you did a wonderful job of capturing Holmes the detective and Holmes the man.  I felt that you slightly over-did the 'stiff unemotional Sherlock' concept, and I thought it fit perfectly with what you wanted to achieve in his transformation into a warm, caring, loving girl.  Brava!

I loved the little touches of Holmesiana throughout the chapters, and I thought you did an execllent job of motivating all the characters.  I also really liked the hints at Hercule Poirot and Lord Peter Wimsey, which I suspect many readers totally lost.  Of course, I also suspect many readers didn't know who "THE woman" was before reading your story.

I have now managed to read every single thing you have posted on Storysite.  So what am I to do now?  <sob>  It is time to track you through cyberspace to your lair and read all your creations.  The hunt is on!  (Where's my violin?)  :-)
