For this purpose let’s say Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes stories are the one true fandom and everything in it is canon, while Sherlock and Elementary are two epic fanfictions based off of it.
Sherlock is a Future fic, an accurately remastered version from the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, with great parallelism between the two. Taking the original canon story and moving it to the future, throwing in modernization and such. It’s completely terrific. Such an epic fanfiction. Very well written and reinterpreted.
Elementary is more like an AU fic, loosely based around the original fandom with the main key points intact. But, we used some gender-bending, gave some characters different backgrounds, and slightly different personal experiences that shaped their personality to be a smidge different from the orignal fandom based character. As all AU fiction does.
I love Sherlock, but I also love Elementary. Because it’s different! You don’t ever compare two fanfics together! You compare each fanfic with the actual canon story!
If you’re going to rant about how much Elementary sucks, please support such a thing with facts from the original story it’s based off of. Not from another TV show.
