Ah, yes, I see you made your guess about "Police of Penzance" below. :-) (I'd just wondered if you were guessing graycardinal for that since you mentioned both in the same paragraph... but I hadn't checked the comments and kudos on it so, right, never mind!) I wonder if graycardinal could have written the Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles fic, only because, who else would have written it? (Nobody offered that in their sign-up.)

The three who made clear that they can write in many more 'verses than what they offered are sanguinity, gardnerhill and graycardinal; gardnerhill seems to be clearly accounted for elsewhere, and sanguinity left a comment on the Professor Moriarty fic, leaving graycardinal as a contender...

Then again, anyone could theoretically have read up on the source material *after* receiving their recipient and seeing their requests. And graycardinal doesn't seem like an obvious writer to have been matched to pocketbookangel (recipient of that fic). The two of them only match on ACD canon, nothing else. Would seem more likely the mods would have put graycardinal with someone who requested Mary Russell, say – since they like to encourage diversity of works by matching people on small fandoms. ...Unless...ooh...unless the mods mistook graycardinal's offer of the Professor Moriarty series by Kurland as being the same thing as pocketbookangel's request for the Professor Moriarty book by Kim Newman and matched them on that?? I can't imagine that slip-up of our careful mods, but Sanguinity did say she was under the weather while doing the matching, right...?

Okay, seriously, I'll stop talking now.
