This zine was nominated for a FanQ.
 
Summary on the publisher's page: "A collection of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows inspired fanfiction which posits that Sherlock Holmes survived his tumble over the Reichenbach balcony and spent his Hiatus among the Madame Simza Heron's Gypsy band in France. The offerings in the zine combine hot het erotica (Sherlock Holmes-Simza Heron pairing) with a touch of slash (Holmes-Watson). These stories, newly edited for publication, have previously only appeared on a closed Live Journal community and are not available anywhere on the net."
