Paul A: Just to note, The Seven-Per-Cent Solution is not the one mentioned in YKTTW. I've never heard of that one before.
Daibhid C: It could be a combination of two books I've read; Holmes-as-Ripper is mentioned in the "revisionist biography" The Baker Street Irregular, which also has a paranoid Holmes carefully cultivating the idea Moriarty is behind every crime he fails to solve. Holmes killing the professor because he thinks he's Watson, however, gets referenced in one of M.J. Trow's Lestrade novels, but I don't remember which one.
Alania: Actually, the pastiche being referenced is The Last Sherlock Holmes Story by Michael Dibdin. I have added it to the examples.
Paul A: I've reworded the Time Ships spoiler because
- Plattnerite, not Cavorite;
- the wording made it sound like it was explaining something from the backstory of The Time Machine, which it wasn't; the story of the mysterious visitor was introduced in The Time Ships.
Ununnilium: Yeah; as recorded in The Time Machine Discussion, I suck.
Micah: I don't think R+G Are Dead really belongs here: though it takes place in and around the action of Hamlet, I don't think of it as having the goal of altering or even recontextualizing Hamlet. This is enough of a judgment call that I'd like a second opinion, though. Thoughts?
Micah: Since nobody seems to want to defend it, I'll remove it...
