I'll be reading this once I get a chance, but allow me to direct you here. Sherlock Group

A quick question: Can you see the chapter itself? For some reason, it tells me that the total word count is 0 even though I published the chapter.
2141073
Yes, I can. The site is still being weird. The chapter says 2,973 but the 'words total' is 0.
Edit: It caught up.
Good start. Can't wait for more.
Two problems.
I think you mean 'importance'
I think it's 'hung', but I could be wrong.
I've never read Doyle's books. I've only seen Sherlock TV shows and movies. Was he that polite and amicable in the books? The movies gave me the impression that he's kind of cold, distant and a bit of an ass.
Your style is great, it reads very similar to the original works. The problem I have is that Deduction doesn't seem to act very much like Sherlock. He is not really a jerk, so much as he doesn't care for social constraints. He also didn't analyze Stethescope, detailing the other ponies past with no input except what he observes.
I'll wait to see where this goes.

Technically not. In middle modern English 'Import' also had the same meaning as importance.
As for hung, it's vulgar slang. In modern times it's appropriate in speech but in text, it's grammatically incorrect and hanged is used in it's place.

Don't worry, I plan to flesh out Deduction in the coming chapters. This was merely an introductory chapter.

Thank you very much for telling me that.
Great start. I always did love Sherlock Holmes.
Can't wait to see where you take this.
Alright, the game is afoot! Or ahoof... or something. I'm pretty sure there's a pun for that.
Either way, glad to see another mystery around! Happy to know I'm not the only one who still writes and reads them. Looking forward to more~
Well that was a nice little start. It's sad to see that it looks like you've stopped writing though. Should you ever continue, you'll certainly have one committed reader.

Nah, I haven't given up on it, but working on requests as well as pre-reading other stories does take up a lot of my time.
2979011
Well that's grand to hear! I can understand having a lot on your plate. I'll look forward to when you get the time to return to it then!

And then there's school.
Follow for follow?
Can you continue this?

In all due honesty, I am at a point where my confidence in writing is rather low xD
9005967
I can't imagine why. This seems awesome! I'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes.

Weeeeell you know how it is: many others are more talented than you, your own stuff ain't up to par and you're also buried under life and work xD

Doesn't help that I kinda dropped out of watching MLP and the fandom as a whole
