Bragging Rights:

It was a little tricky to find good pictures of Greg that worked with what I wanted to do but my main brag for the top picture is having photomanipped part of the yellow tape since one of the cordons originally said sheriff rather than police because of most stock photos being US-centric.

For the bottom banner, I had fun with the Mycroft silhouette. Also the map of Midsomer county was very helpful to find for this - credit for the map, it's by Totospix on the Midsomer Murders wiki

Story Title: Rectifying Past Mistakes
Fandom: BBC Sherlock
Link(s): AO3
Summary: When Mycroft gets Sherlock out of Serbia, he drops a bombshell on him he isn't quite prepared for: after years of being gone out of his life, Sherlock's ex-wife Elizabeth has reappeared, under the name Mary Morstan. While he was off taking care of Moriarty's mess she was protecting those he cared about and helping his brother, for reasons, he finds, that she is keeping close to the vest. But when they're forced to stay in close quarters at Baker Street both secrets and old wounds come to light and, perhaps, things might turn out for the best after all.

How I Lost My Shit: I was rewriting "The Empty Hearse" for this episode and was having trouble figuring out how to incorporate the basis of this AU into the episode.
How I Finished My Shit I got a hold of the transcripts page for this show and downloaded TEH's transcript, and that helped so much. Once I had the actual words and actions from the episode to base my AU on it got so much easier to writer it, and I think I was done in about a week of starting.

Summary: It all begins with an invitation to Mycroft's wedding to his PA and seven days at a resort in Jamaica, with the assumption that Molly pretends to be his girlfriend that his mother might be under the impression that he's going to propose to sooner rather than later. It ends up being so much more than that...

How I Lost My Shit: I never really did? This is a pretty popular story so everything I asked which WIP I should update this one was usually picked, so I'd toss up another chapter or two.
How I Finished My Shit I was encouraged to finish it by my readers, but I was a bit stumped as to where to go with Sherrinford. My original idea wasn't going to work, so I scrapped it and came up with a better idea that required less writing, which was a very good thing.

Summary: Ten years ago, Molly Hooper got lost in the forest near her brother's cottage trying to find her niece. She found the girl as well as an injured man who was more than he seemed.

How I Lost My Shit: I just got overwhelmed with a lot of other stories I started around the same time and didn’t really have a clear idea of what I wanted to do with this story.
How I Finished My Shit: I looked at it and decided if I could make this story all about how Sherlock and Molly met, and then reconnected and their shotgun wedding to save Molly’s niece from being married to a bastard fae prince, then I could tell more stories about certain events in a series and it would be easier for me to write. So I got the set-up and wedding done, and then I’ll work on the arrival of Moriarty and the eventual crowning of Sherlock as king of the fae in other stories.

Story Title: Jam Session
Fandom: BBC Sherlock
Link(s): AO3
Summary: Molly Hooper is known for making some of the best baked goods in all of England, and no one knows what her secret is. Her most popular dish is her Jam Tartlets, and it’s a recipe she shares with absolutely no one, not even those who work in her shop. When a new resident arrives in the village, an apiarist named Sherlock Holmes, they begin an exchange: some of her special jams in exchange for his honey. But what starts as a simple trade of sweet foodstuffs becomes so much more when Molly’s shop is broken into and ransacked by someone looking for the secret recipe.

How I Lost My Shit: I started it while I was writing a rush of summer fics that year, and it ended up being a lot of fics that I wrote one chapter and then abandoned them. Then in early 2019 I started writing a little more of this one before I submitted it for WIPBB but got stuck as to what the dramatic turn should be.
How I Finished My Shit: My friend strangelock221b on Tumblr gave me the idea of using a lawsuit in the fic, since it involved someone trying to take over a business, and I wrote four chapters really quickly before getting stuck having to make sure all my WIPBB fics had enough for snippets, and then I finished it with the other five chapters the day I finished submitting the last of the snippets.

Story Title: The Detectives And The Hound
Fandom: BBC Sherlock/Doctor Who
Link(s): AO3
Summary: Sherlock and John get given a case from Henry Knight, who believes his father was killed years prior by a hound in the moors. But what starts as a much needed break from the tedium that Sherlock is experiencing turns into a case that has him questioning many things and feeling something he has not felt in a long time: the type of fear that leaves you with a chill in your bones.

How I Lost My Shit: Okay. So despite the fact pretty much every fic I have submitted to WIPBB in the last few years is Sherlock based, I have a love/hate relationship with the show (for example, I still haven’t seen series 4 yet). This fic is the result of one of my least favorite episodes being requested over and over for a rewrite, and me managing to get through the episode once over a span of two days and then noping out after chapter 1.
How I Finished My Shit: Six years and a couple of failed attempts later, I decided eff it, I was just going to ignore the stuff I didn’t like, change things around, MAKE FRANKLAND SURVIVE and just let the chips fall where they may. I think it’s faithful to the episode to a point, but I like my version a bit more. And before anyone asks, I hated the lab scenes so I cut out the trip to Baskerville for that reason, which was what had been stopping me from forward progress until last week. Also, the amazing art by twisted_slinky was a huge inspiration, so I am so grateful for that.

How I Lost My Shit: I couldn’t quite figure out how I wanted to have such a diverse group of people all in the same fic.
How I Finished My Shit: I decided to do multiple POVs and just smash various duos, trios and groups together that made me think “Hey, this would be interesting!” Real Life got in the way several times so I ended up writing the last six chapters in two chapter spurts over a week, but it’s finally done and I love how it turned out.

How I Finished My Shit: I was looking at the last few fics I needed to finish for the Bang since I had a stretch where I didn’t need to do any art, and I reread this one. Once I thought about it and decided it might be better as a series (albeit, hopefully, a short one), it was pretty easy to get to a point in writing where I was all “Okay, this is a good place to stop the first story” and I managed to write five chapters in a 48 hour span.

Summary: Fifteen years ago, to fulfill the dying wish of someone who inspired him, Stephen Strange married Molly Hooper on a whim. And then life happened. A life full of many different things for both of them. But when Molly turns up at the Sanctum Sanctorum demanding an annulment so she can marry her fiancee, it presents an entire situation where neither of them have any idea how to approach a marriage that they aren't sure they want to end as they get to know each other better.

How I Finished My Shit: My friend Dreamin encouraged me to write this fic as the first in a series, and that made a lot more sense because that way I could involve various side pairings and other characters and not everything would have to focus on the marriage and the relationship between Stephen and Molly (especially once I decided on Rhodey/Christine as a side ship...I want to have some fun with them).

Summary: After Molly's engagement ends she decides she wants to rid herself of her virginity since that was a major cause of the dissolution of her relationship with her ex.

How I Finished My Shit: Honestly, I was starting to run out of time for getting posts claimed by authors finished and the remaining parts sent to them before posting started. But I sat down one morning with a Kickstart and the Prodigy fan remix album “Remixers Must Die” and I suddenly wrote 6K in four hours and the next thing I know John and Mary are married and Sherlock and Molly aren’t virgins anymore.

I hadn’t met the word count minimum when I was done with the epilogue so I figured out how many more words I needed and plumped up the shortest of the new chapters and boom! I was done.

Summary: When Sebastian Moran asks local bookstore owner Molly Hooper for a job, all he wants is a second chance to live the life he should have been living before prison.

How I Lost My Shit: This was another one in the batch I started for my 100 Summer Stories challenge last year that kind of fell to the wayside as I got swamped with other projects and trying to finish more popular WIPs.
How I Finished My Shit: Honestly, it was deciding how many chapters I wanted left after I had made it to chapter 13. I decided it would be 19 chapters total, and then it ended up being one less, but the person I was writing it for loved every bit of this AU so that was all the encouragement I needed.

Summary: Bones knows one thing: he likes Dr. Molly Hooper and doesn't want his friendship with her to change...even if the voice in the back of his head says he'd like more than just a friendship with the female Starfleet officer. But a dare from Jim leads to more than he had expected and certainly more than he wanted...or could ever have hoped for.

How I Finished My Shit: I got a sudden rush of inspiration one day once my friend who I was writing the fic for gave me some ideas of coincidences they could deal with. Then it practically wrote itself, though I admit I’m not entirely happy with it still (I think it’s a tad rushed, but I can’t help it...that’s the way the story wanted to go).

Summary: After the revelation that there had been some plotting between Moriarty and Eurus before his death, Sebastian Moran had decided to do whatever it took to keep Molly safe...even if that meant ruining whatever the results of his ex-lover's collusion with the Holmes sister were. But after enough time had gone by, things changed, and that was when Eurus decided to strike. That was when Sebastian couldn't deny the truth any longer: Molly Hooper had become the most important person in his life...and he would do whatever it took to make sure she was safe.

How I Lost My Shit: I started a ton of WIPs the summer I started this one and while I updated this one periodically at the request of the person I was writing it for, it wasn’t until 2019 I decided I wanted to finish it.
How I Finished My Shit: With love and encouragement from my friend, I asked constant questions and talked about scenes she’d want. The sticking point (as I ended up writing this a bit out of order) was how to deal with Eurus without either Moran or Molly shooting her, and I think the compromise I eventually came up with was decent enough to allow me to finish writing the fic with the next chapter (I had the epilogue and the chapter before that written weeks earlier).

How I Finished My Shit: After doing all the submissions that I had to do I spent a day in a hotel room all by myself for most of the day, trying to finish as many fics as I could in one day.

It just kind of flowed out once I started writing the last six chapters.

How I Lost My Shit: While I tend to write a metric ton of ships in the Sherlock fandom, my Mythea fics are popular but not often requested, and no one really asked for updates on this one so it stagnated about a year after I started it. I’d see it in my files to finish but had no motivation.
How I Finished My Shit: The combination of my New Year’s resolution to finish a ton of fics this year as well as the idea to turn it into a series, as when I dug into my Tumblr inbox I saw a bunch of old domestic Mythea + baby prompts I could use. Once I made the decision to cut it off at a point where I could continue it in other stories to answer the prompts, it flowed out pretty quickly and was finished in the first week of the Bang.

How I Lost My Shit I've been doing an update on this every few months, and as it's a commissioned fic I decided to just buckle down and finish it this year because two and a half years is too long, you know?
How I Finished My Shit I wrote this one a little out of order (I had the scene with Anderson partially started before I signed up, and finished that first) and didn't exactly end it the way my commissioner wanted (whoops) but I think another person wanted a sequel and will commission that so a bit later I can hit the intended ending and then...I don't know. But this particular fic is finished and I actually like it a lot, the way it went.
