Remix Redux 10 went live this week and authors are still anonymous. There are 8 stories for Sherlock BBC (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/remix2012/tags/Sherlock%20%28TV%29/works) (the challenge was restricted to AO3).

There was one story written in Ritchie-verse, though it could be read for other Victorian sources. It's my favorite of the Sherlock Holmes offers: Two Men in a Boat (to say nothing of the fog) (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/remix2012/works/384087), a remix of A Beautiful Pea-Green Boat (http://archiveofourown.org/works/95482) by ariadnes_string, influenced also by Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat. It can be read alone, as understanding it doesn't depend on the original. It's well written and funny, with an irritated, spirited Watson and a less annoying Holmes.

One of the original stories that I really enjoyed was You Lead, I Lead, You Follow, I Follow (http://brighteyed-jill.livejournal.com/95333.html) by brighteyed_jill, which I hadn't read before. Delirious, fevered John, imagining dancing lessons.
