1''Sherlock Homes vs. Jack the Ripper'' (fanfiction.net link removed, see on [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YlRQQNxXvxSgoTcikZyanLyR4EFzV260149d92hdbw4 the archive on gdocs]]) is yet another story by "author" Creator/SueMary. Based on the "3009" adaptation of ''[[Film/SherlockHolmes2009 Sherlock Holmes]]'', it follows the world's greatest detective taking on UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.
2
3It begins with Sherlock and Watson "solving criem" in the comfort of their own home until Watson reads that Jack the Ripper is killing people (including [[TheWoobie his wife]]). They team up with a [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga werewolf named Jacob]] (lol) to investigate a hunted mansion where Jick Ripper supposedly lives. Things only go downhill from there as Shertock battles such foes as a zombified UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein and a [[TRexpy Tryanonosauros Reks]]. Can they save the "city of Englond" from Jack the Riper's horror?

10!!''Sherlock Homes vs. Jack the Ripper'' provides examples of:
11
12* ArtisticLicenseGeography: England is not a city, it's a country.
13* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Jack the Ripper sends Albert Einstien's zombie to attack Sherlock, never mind that Albert Einstein died in 1955 and Literature/SherlockHolmes is set in the late 1800s. There was also no King of Britain during [[UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain this period]], either.
14* BringMyBrownPants: When Watson first sees the haunted mansion, he "poppied his pants".
15** Also when he poops so much his pants "exlodd."
16* CardCarryingVillain: Jacob [[spoiler:is secretly working for Jack the Ripper only because Sue Mary is "on team Edwin"]].
17** Jack the Ripper seems to be this, too.
18* CrackFic: We hope it's intentional...
19* DramaticReading: Found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou2FmbOoN1M here]].
20* FantasyKitchenSink: Sherlock and Watson battle wear-wolves, dinosaurs, and even a zombified Albert Einstein.
21* FunetikAksent: "rited", "frend", "screemed" and more adorn the story's choice words.
22** And of course "NO WAY HOSE!".
23* {{Gasshole}}: Watson farted louder than the sun, and it was sooooo stonky!
24* HeroesPreferSwords: The only weapons Sherlock uses in the story are his fists and "Xcalibar".
25* LaughTrack: Whenever Watson does something stupid, "da audience laffs".
26* SheIsTheKing: possibly. The story is set during Victoria's reign, and the King is never referred to with male pronouns.
