I'm in the process of writing a novel in the form of a memoir by Sherlock Holmes' unknown younger sister, Beatrix. I figured that since Watson didn't find out about Mycroft until the Greek Interpreter, it might actually be plausible that there was another sibling that was quite simply never mentioned.

The way I have it set up thus far, Beatrix is living and working in a boarding house owned by her friend, the widowed Mrs Emily Lyons. Near the beginning, she mistakenly receives a letter intended for her brother, but chooses to take on the case herself rather than forward the letter, to prove Sherlock's opinion of women wrong. Being very similar in height and build to her brother, she disguises herself as a man and adopts his identity until the case is solved.

Does that sound totally farfetched, or could it possibly work?

Depends on how skillfully you work it. smile

True. I'll have to be careful not to be offensive to diehard Holmesians, but I think I've got it worked where it'll... work. xD

I'll post the first chapter soon.

It's coming further, and I have made a cosplay account for her.
>> Actually, I morphed the Mrs Hudson account, which I had taken over. So Mrs Hudson is open for other takers now.

Oh, and her name is Ealdgyth now. After the queen. :3

I'm interested in finding out more about her, personally. She seems like a good character... And not just because I found the interaction between her and Rosaline amusing.
