Sparkle


Hey! So I'm basically new here and just learning the ropes of writing fanfiction. Let's see how it goes. I'm also the translator of the great "Spike's Mirror" by Saldana.

T

The year is 1886. Brilliant, but eccentric master detective Twilock Sparkle enlists the help of her friend and partner Dr Spikeson to solve her most challenging case yet. But this time, their adversary might just be out of their league...

Ah yes, I've been waiting for something like this.

Excellent. There was a Sherlock Holmes story on Equestria Daily a while back (but with Rarity as Sherlock and Rainbow Dash as Watson), and I'm looking forwards to how this combination works out!

This is great so far. Looking forward to more.

hey, someone else who's doing a sherlock holmes thing :P

Just seen the new movie, I take it?
Have you read the books?

Well I found you on here as well! :twilightsmile:Can't wait for the next chapter!

Huh, I always thought Doctor Whooves would be Sherlock Holmes, and Derpy Hooves would be Watson. Still an interesting idea!:pinkiehappy:

Thanks for the nice comments, everypony.

Oh! You already wrote so much, I look forward to reading your take as well :twilightblush: It looks fantastic, much more mature than mine so far. I hope I don't come off as a copycat now...

Yes, just saw the film the other day and felt totally inspired by it :twilightsmile: I love the new take on the duo, and now looking back at the original stories, I find it astonishing how close that interpretation really is. Although it did feature too many gratuitous explosions, heh.

I did read a few of the original stories and two of the novels, although in translation. I'll re-read them soon, I guess...

Why, just because of the pun? :unsuresweetie: I knew from the start Twilight had to be Holmes. And Spike as Watson, hmm... :moustache:

135866No, because I'd imagine the Doctor to be as cunning as Holmes and Derpy to be as clueless as Watson.:derpytongue2:

Haha, I see. Well, I don't know about Doctor Whooves, but without giving too much away, Derpy might just make an appearance yet :derpytongue2:

Yours is the better Guy Ritchie Holmes, I think

I can't take spike seriously as a character though :(

also: wanna collab a few chapters here and there?

Thanks, I notice we have very different styles. I love your style, though, because it appears incredibly faithful to the original series. Exemplary of an intellect you don't normally find around here! I'll spend some time reading your chapters, I'm really interested in the plots you've come up with.

You can't take Spike seriously? Aww :( I always thought he was a smart cookie, and if you picture him a bit older and in a vest...

Sure, collab sounds great! I would be honoured. I hope to have my second chapter up tomorrow, then maybe we can see what we can can cook up.:moustache::twilightsheepish:

Lundy University the LU Well I'm sold tracking.

"I do have a dreadfully unkempt beard of sorts, just not —”

Fair enough. I'll be back next chapter for more.

So...um...are you ever going to update this? Can you do it? Pwease?:scootangel:

So it says it's been updated on the 25th of June. What happened, and more importantly, when will we see new chapters?

805456 Hmm, I'm afraid I was just fixing up a stray spelling mistake I found. As for new chapters -- I kinda do wanna work on this story some more, feeling especially inspired after watching the BBC series recently! The thing is, writing funny is hard, writing solid mystery is even harder, and it takes a fair amount of time and planning to keep your plot from going boom (that's why you see so many shipping stories in the fandom. Those are extremely easy to plot.) The case I had planned out for the duo wasn't working out as well as I hoped!

I think I'll try and think of something new, though. I really feel like continuing this story, since it's a bit more light-hearted than my other, more serious fare.

I see. That's all the more reasons to look forward to updates, though, because as you rightly note, there is way too much shipping offered. So anything new and refreshing will be appreciated.

Extremely well written, this was a pleasure to read :rainbowdetermined2: Really, really hope you update this story some day! the chemistry and tension between Twilock and Spikeson... delicious :pinkiehappy:
