It’s nice that someone thinks of Kathryn when they are creating a fantasy cast for a work of fan fiction.
Personally I’d “go another way” if I were to write such a thing involving Kathryn though. There’d be less plot, perhaps just involving a plumber or pizza delivery boy, oddly coloured clothes, and more… bow chicka bow wow 😉 And a car chase! A short instead of a feature too 
Fan faction author Cleo Calliope has Kathryn down as Jemma Pierson in her latest story, Pack, based on Sherlock Holmes. It seems to be closer to the modern British TV version of Sherlock than many, albeit with an even younger Sherlock. The “real” thing stars, as the Guardian newspaper Twitter feed called him whilst posting the 2015 Oscar nominations, ‘benedict XCuebrvatch’. We thought the days of the ‘Grauniad’ were well and truly behind it thanks to modern technologies like the automatic spell-check in word processors. Clearly not.
We first meet Jemma in chapter three of Pack. She is, to say the least, already dead. Very dead. As Lilly Rush Kathryn’s used to people spilling their guts (as in confessing), not a person spilling hers. Jemma was also a drug-taking prostitute who went by the name Felicity. To quote from Pack:
Her mug shots showed a woman who had been rather pretty once but at 28 was starting to show the ravages of the life she led. Her hair had been badly bleached from her natural brown to a very unnatural blonde and she wore far too much makeup to cover the shadows under her eyes and the lines that had already begun to dig themselves into her face.
That’s Kathryn down to a tee 😕
Other fantasy cast members include Anna Maxwell Martin (Becoming Jane), and
To continue our People’s Choice Awards theme this week, if one post on Tuesday counts a theme, the photo Cleo chose to use to illustrate Jemma in Flickr album (which is how I found it) was from Kathryn’s appearance on the red of the event in January 2004. In fact she used the picture you see above.
You can see that photo, 35 others, and three videos in the KM UK Gallery.
Cleo Calliope’s story Pack is on FanFiction.net and photos of her proposed supporting cast can be seen on Flickr here.
