Hehe, 'brilliant' is the best of compliments when it comes to a Cabin Pressure fic. I'm pretty sure that Arthur would agree with you - but then he thinks that almost everybody and everything is brilliant, so maybe he doesn't really count.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment! :)

Well, when *I* say brilliant, it means more than when Arthur says it. :-D I have a very personal connection to Cabin Pressure, because it's helped me get through what has honestly been the worst week of my life, so it'll always have a very special place in my heart.

I'm really glad to hear that. :)
As a matter of fact Cabin Pressure it's helping me too, making me laugh when I desperately need it.

(May I say I love your Sherlock icons, by the way?)

Yes, it did exactly that, because even if tragedy hits you, you can't be sad 100% of the time.

Thanks about the icons. I wish I could upload more than 15 icons, because there's so many more I'd love to use!! Three Sherlock icons to choose from just doesn't seem remotely enough.

I've recently fallen in love with this radio series, I just felt the need to try and write something about it. I'm really happy that it actually works.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

It is indeed, and that's exactly why I love it.
(And I just couldn't resist making an icon for it. Martin and Douglas are so adorable when they bicker all the time.)
