Hello, Sherlock Holmes adaptation writer. I have trapped you in this room. It is fully furnished and comfortable. On the table, you will notice a copy of A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of which redistribution is perfectly legal, as the work is in the public domain. You will notice it is rather thin. You have 24 hours to read the approximately 8,550 words in this story. To exit this room, all you must do is summarize the plot of the story without referring to Irene Adler as a seductress or implying she is attracted to Sherlock Holmes. Good luck.

dark/tragic/upsetting fiction kinsey scale. answer about your personal tastes and preferences, not what you think is moral or inherently worthy, and use whatever meaning of dark/light you see fit.

0: I pretty much only like dark fiction

1: I much prefer dark fiction but I do like a few lighter things

2: I prefer dark fiction but there's plenty of light stuff I like

3: "heaviness" of fiction means nothing to me, I like whatever

4: I prefer light fiction but there's plenty of dark stuff I like

5: I much prefer light fiction but I do like a few darker things

6: I pretty much only like light fiction

X: I do not enjoy fiction

See Results

for my own curiosity, because my tragedy enjoying boggles the minds of a bunch of my irl social circle.

The way I've already seen uncountable "Netflix is hiring!" Ads. They're really just gonna hire scabs and pretend the WGA strike isn't happening....

This is a reminder to anyone who wants to go into screenwriting. This is not an opportunity to get your foot in the door. Do not take any writing jobs during the strike. This includes freelance or “script editing” jobs.

You will be a scab. Scabs are barred from union membership. By crossing the picket line to get your foot in the door you’ll be burning one of the most important bridges in your life. You will actively be harming your future job prospects.

This strike will end one day. Those writers who are out picketing will reenter the writers room and start producing work with the legal and financial protections and guarantees they’re fighting for, and you will not be among their ranks. You will be a scab. A traitor.

A lack of union membership will harm your prospects job wise. Do not scab. Knowledge of your scabbing, traitorous ways will cost you your ability to make friends in the industry. Do not scab. Support the WGA as they fight for your rights. Do. Not. Scab.
