Why Jonathan? The fandomlet is full of kiddies named for Russell's parents
Aha. (There's a fandomlet? Beyond the, like, three people I know online who get excited when a new Russell book comes out? Cool.) I can understand where the Russell ficcers are coming from. In a lot of fandoms it woiuld probably be cheating a bit, and be associated with Really Cute Offspring Antics, but in the Russellverse (there's got to be a better name) it follows a little more logically from the characterization. YMMV, obviously.
Random, isn't it?
Just a bit. Assigning universe characteristics to characters from other works (Miles Vorkosigan the Gryffindor, etc) is something everyone does a bit of, but plotting crossovers usually doesn't follow. My brain is seizing up around the time Holmes is forced to deal with actual divine presences influencing his investigation. (Because there's got to be an investigation - right?) If you manage to write it, I'd love to see it - it sounds like something out of ithurtsmybrain. Which occasionally comes up with Crazy, Yet Good Fic.
