  1. Since you wanted people to comment:
    You found my two very favourite ASOIAF-related tumblers! Congrats!
    The Star Trek universe won't die, as long as there is fanfiction ;)
    "Getting Irene Adler right", lol. The story in which she turns up, in the original Conan Doyle, is about 6 pages long. She's not much of a character, actually. Let people interpret, for chrissake! I mean, from a feminist's standpoint, there could have been better interpretations, but that's not a disservice to the character of Irene, but to women in general. Which is a much bigger can of worms.

      I dislike Star Trek. The new movie was decent, though.
      And +1 on Adler.
