A/N: I sincerely apologize to all the people who regularly write disclaimers. I can see the point, even if, apparently, Sherlock Holmes does not :D
Is there no limit to people's stupidity?! Sherlock ranted internally as he began typing.
Author's note: I shall, under no circumstances, put any sort of disclaimer in this section. If you, my fellow fanfiction author, wonder why, I will attempt to explain in a way your miniscule brain can comprehend. First, notice the name of the site. Did you see the "fanfiction" in there? By definition, all works in here are based on the work of a published author, or producer, or whoever you happen to be a fan of. The "fiction" part of the compound word is indeed inaccurate and misleading, as I myself have found many pieces describing what has happened in reality. Nevertheless, no one suspects you of having written anything original (as if you were capable of that).
Secondly, do you really have to proclaim that you aren't making money off this? Would you have imagined that I'd send you gratuities for your miserable murdering of the English language? Even if there exists some fool out there who is willing to part with his money in order to read your drivel, nobody cares.
A third point, and a very significant one, is that while their may perhaps be some point in telling us who you are (although I, personally, do not wish to hear about your three cats and your grandmother's colitis), there is no point in telling us who you are NOT.
For your sakes, I will give you some examples. If you proclaim that you aren't Steve Moffat, (whoever the hell that is), I haven't gained any new knowledge from that statement. You might still be Steve Moffat, and trying to misdirect us. Or you might truly be someone else, and that narrows the field to only the rest of humanity, several billion people more. Not very helpful.
Similarly, if you would want to proclaim that you indeed are Steve Moffat, you might be trying to misdirect us here, too. Should we believe you, we haven't narrowed down the field by much. The same principles hold true for proclaiming or denying yourself to be Mark Gatiss, The Mofftiss, or whatever other names or pseudonyms you might or might not use.
If you are still reading my note at this point, and are miraculously following it, I would like to proclaim that I am Sherlock Holmes. Make if it what you will.
