He is a particularly complex, moody, brilliant, eccentric character who has enjoyed a wide array of adaptations in plenty of different media: books, short stories, tv specials, movies, tv shows. There is a reason why writers, studios and actors keep going back to him over and over again in an attempt to awe an audience. Sherlock Holmes is an impossibly fascinating man, and I would very much enjoy creating my very own version of him.

I am willing to play Sherlock Holmes both in a more modern setting (similar to BBC's Sherlock), or in the time period he originated in, this remains to be determined depending on my partner's preferences. My adaptation of him will not be entirely like the Sherlock introduced to the world by Arthur Connan Doyle since it would leave no room for romantic entanglements, which I am interested in exploring, nor will he be a perfect copy of the BBC version since, as much as I adore Benedict Cumberbatch's interpretation, there are certain traits I do not fully agree with.

Physically, however, I would very much prefer him looking pretty much precisely like he looks in BBC'S Sherlock, though perhaps a bit younger.

What I am looking for is a Lady to play a female version of Watson. I am not interested in a M-M pairing, so a male Watson would not work in this particular setting. I would very much enjoy begining the story when they meet, and though it's not necessary they live together as housemates, it would make the story easier. I'm open to her moving in downstairs instead, that could certainly work as well.

I would prefer him being in his late 20s or early 30s, as he is supposed to be around that age when he and Watson meet. Though it is not mentioned exactly how old he is at that time, Holmes is supposed to have been born around 1854 based on his being "a man of sixty" in His Last Bow, which is set in 1914. Since they meet in 1881, in a Study in Scarlet, he would have been 27 years old then and not a middle-aged man like many depictions show him.

Anyhow, I'm rambling about inane details. What is important is that I'm looking for a Lady interesting on playing her own version of Watson. If anyone is interested, please do send me a PM and don't post in this thread!
