For me, the only Sherlock reboot worth watching is the one Steven Moffat is doing, that airs in the US on Masterpiece Mystery! It's Sherlock in modern day London, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. He did the modern update way before the Elementary guys came up with theirs.

But then I'm more than a little biased because I think Moffat is a freakin' genius and I'm quite the student in the Moffat School of Characterization and Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey.

I really identified with Faith, because when I was about her age I watched my first love run off with a shrew who proceeded to destroy his life. Thankfully it was not my sister!

Obviously I didn't get him back, but like Faith I grew from it and became a stronger person.

I don't write contemporary, but if I did it would most certainly include my own struggles with chemical based depression. I'm 29 and I have pill boxes, thanks to depression and fibromyalgia.

I take an anti-depressant every night. Have for six years and I've no intention of ever stopping it if I can help it. Without it I don't sleep. A lot of people would feel much better if they were willing to take meds for awhile to get everything balanced out again.

I certainly will, Jeannie!

I've toyed with the idea of downloading the first chapter and seeing if I can handle the writing style. Not a Twilight fan. At all.

Your perspective on it here is quite interesting to me. I've lived the typical sheltered Christian life, up to three years ago nothing bad had ever happened to me, no abuse of any kind, strong Christian home where I know without doubt how much my parents love me.

And yet, broken characters are the norm for me. Ones who've been abused in the worst possible ways. I'm writing a space opera right now and my hero is a slave (in the traditional sense of the word, and in his backstory and a previous relationship he didn't mind being thought of in the other sense of the word). He's falling in love with the woman who owns him and she's been threatened. He's allowing that person to dominate and abuse him in order to keep her safe.

I knew there had to be more to this than just BDSM erotica. That alone does not explain 10 million copies and counting. Knowing there's a real psychological component to the growth of the characters makes me even more willing to give it a shot. Sheltered though I've been, knowing about BDSM and knowing details doesn't bother me.
