History of Fanfiction: Swift, Austen and Holmes
Added 2025-06-19 13:00:10 +0000 UTCWe've finally started to reference the twentieth century! Yeah!
I am having such a great time making these videos, I hope you are enjoying them as much as I am.

Computer science and engineering repurposed Swifts “big-endian” and “little-endian” terms to an obscure, but important detailthat, like Swift’s egg openers, was a source of frequent conflict.

2025-06-28 18:12:56 +0000 UTCI came for a discussion about literature but got a lesson on case law. What next? Will "Runkle of the Bailey" do a video about literature and do pop culture armor reviews?

2025-06-21 06:06:39 +0000 UTCPossibly, I may have forgotten to include something. I will have a look at my master file and see. Good catch! 🙂

2025-06-19 21:40:36 +0000 UTCThank you for the wonderful video as always! :) 9/10 of the way through I realized you were using a dagger as a microphone holder sensational! Made my day!

2025-06-19 20:30:41 +0000 UTCDefinitely a better title NOW, but would it have worked in the nineteenth century?

2025-06-19 19:32:13 +0000 UTCYay! I am very much enjoying this series! My personal connection to fanfiction is quite minimal, mainly resting on a gradeschool friend who began writing Gunsmoke (US western TV show that ran from 1955-1975!) fanfic about 1965. I read ABOUT Star Trek fanzines but couldn't afford to subscribe, or I may have a more intimate relationship to this day.

2025-06-19 19:29:37 +0000 UTCIs there a first moment that got cut from this upload? The opening sentence, "and while that's going to change" implies there's a "that" being referred to, but I don't know what "that" is? Just to see if this flowed out of a previous instalment, I went and doublechecked the last one leading into this time period, and it doesn't feel like it follows directly?

2025-06-19 17:36:17 +0000 UTCSo…. The right to create a sequel being secured…shall we be seeing a sequel to “JSMN”?

2025-06-19 15:05:09 +0000 UTC"Janeites" is good, but I'd have called those fans "Austenauts"

2025-06-19 13:57:27 +0000 UTCBut I’m enjoying these videos as much as you seem to be with making them. Thank you for all you do.

2025-06-19 13:54:44 +0000 UTCI’ve been sidelined with a fractured leg and have been diving into Holmes works again to pass the time. Mostly screen portrayals. Rathbone, Ian Richardson, Jeremy Brett, Benji Cummerbund. I thought one of the best was Ian McKellan in “Mr Holmes”. I guess that movie would be a derivative work. As would “Sherlock” by a Moffet and Gatiss. And then there’s ’House MD’. I know that the Conan Doyle estate has been pretty protective of the IP of Holmes. No real point to be made here really. I’m just bored.

2025-06-19 13:53:02 +0000 UTCOk, but can we have a whole video about early Austen fandom at some point? Because I get the feeling there’s a whole rabbit hole there and it sounds fascinating!

2025-06-19 13:48:51 +0000 UTCJohn Kendrick Bangs also wrote R Holmes and Co a book featuring Raffles Holmes, son of Sherlock Holmes and Grandson of A J Raffles. Raffles was created by E W Hornung who was, of course, Conan Doyle's Brother-in-law

2025-06-19 13:45:57 +0000 UTCAh, we hear Sir Arthur's opinion, but what did Jane Austen think of HER fandom??
