Joanna Watson, recently back from war, struggling to get by in the regular world, stumbles across Sheryl Holmes, one frenetic detective looking for a roommate. To evaluate whether Watson is proper roommate material for 221B Baker Street, Holmes drags Joanna deep into the mystery of a series of suicides, straight to the fourth crime scene whether a woman in pink lies dead on the floor. What follows is the start of the legend of Holmes and Watson. Readers: Using the first BBC Sherlock episode, this story explores what the Holmes and Watson story looks like if you genderswap the main characters. Does it matter if Holmes is Sherlock or Sheryline? Is Anderson more annoying as Philip or Philomena? I hope you enjoy my exploration of whether or not gender influences how we tell a story.
