post of several things

kindkit1) I saw War Horse the other day, mostly to please a friend but also because Benedict Cumberbatch is in it. Unfortunately, Cumberbatch was only in it for about ten minutes and had a horrible mustache. And the film itself was pretty awful, as even my heartwarming-animal-stories loving friend agreed. But it was awful in the way that means it will probably win several Oscars.
2) Out of all the things I could be writing, why am I writing a Sherlock/Cabin Pressure crossover that pairs Martin and Mycroft? I think that when presented with multiple fic-writing options, my subconscious goes for the one that will be the creepiest and/or attract the fewest readers.
3) Why do non-British (generally American) fen go to the effort of writing really good Sherlock fic, often quite lengthy and with great care taken over the prose and plot, and then don't get it Britpicked? I cringe at every "gotten," every wrong "pants," and if it bothers me, it must bother British readers much more. I end up hesitant to rec these stories, however good they are in other respects, and even to comment on them because I'm annoyed that the author couldn't bother to do one simple thing.
