I bring this one back a lot, but it's my favourite. So...there.

Character Questions Meme
1. Go here to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100. DO THIS FIRST.

2. Choose a character that I write or have written, be it a canon person (Sherlock), an OC (Dr. Forrester) or whatever. Feel free to pick a character that was used last time, as the questions will most likely be different this time around.

3. Comment with the character and the numbers, and then I will answer the corresponding questions from here.

If you choose Mal or Fay or Graylin (or anyone of a minor age), any questions inappropriate to ask a child will be answered as though they were adults. You can choose a few characters if you so choose.

Ha! It's probably not the last time I'll prompt Sherlock on your memes. I'm fond of him and fond of your interpretation of him, so it's a win-win situation! I'm glad it benefits us both. :D

If you require more, I suggest you ask John. I bet he could give you an itemized list.

Hee! I love how aware of his flaws Sherlock is. He's not one of those people who's surprised to hear he has them. No, he TELLS PEOPLE UPFRONT WHAT THEY ARE.

One of my earliest memories is discovering my mother playing the violin in our music room at home and demanding to know how it worked. I believe I would have been two or three years old at the time.

I can definitely see this. I once read a fanfic in which kid!Sherlock disliked anyone seeing him fail at anything, and so he would practice any skill he wanted to learn in secret until he felt himself to have mastered those skills enough for public presentation. I picture his violin use among these.

And aw, I like Sherlock's vague confusion about the notion of "closeness." I do wonder about his parents, a bit. Is his dad being dead canon or fanon?

And a plastic dinosaur, which is related to a case and not something I habitually carry.

I think somebody is secretly eager to see the next Doctor Who episode. Or at least wants to harass Anderson. XD

Thank you for this! It was a lot of fun to read.

Yes! I am total agreement there. I think I put a similar thing into Road Hazards. It's a trait I have myself, so I threw it onto Sherlock. I like to learn everything by myself where no one can see me make mistakes.

There's a bit in one of the commentaries where Benedict starts talking about something that was cut out of the episode and Gatiss cuts him off, before he can fully explain it. It's really vague and there's no discussion of whether his father is alive or not, but I've somehow decided that he's dead from it. Also because we've heard Sherlock speak about 'Mummy' but not 'Father'. It's not official canon, and the only thing we know about Holmes from the original stories is that he has a French grandmother. It's my own personal canon. I have a rather extensive head canon for the Holmes family, because backstory and I are one day going to get married and have little exposition babies. ^_^

Both these things are very true. Also, I think at the time I was working on a story where Mycroft was talking to Sherlock about dinosaurs and debating whether that was going to work in light of all the Anderson/Dinosaur crack out there.

But I also need Rupert Graves in safari gear very, very much.
