Canon Story: Charles Augustus Milverton
Title: A Complaint
Author: Mafief
Rating: G
Warnings: Snakes!
Author’s Notes: Holmes reads a letter to Watson about his latest published case.

“I, a representative for snake kind, here by register a formal complaint against one, Mr Sherlock Holmes. My clients demand that a formal apology be issued for slander. Calling my clients ‘wicked’ with ‘deadly eyes’ and comparing them to the Milverton is continuing the misrepresentation...

“You get the idea. They prattle on extolling snake’s virtues and suggestions for restitutions. Bah!”

Well, the rats and the bulldogs and the ferrets might have cases, too, re: Lestrade. But given ACD, restitution might be a jug of milk and a whistle!

Dude! I forgot about them and they totally do.
Hehe, because those are 100%, absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, known restitutions for snakes. ;)

The Royal College of Ophidians has pretty tight legal representation.

Of course. Their mitigation of the damages caused over the confusion that colubrids are only giving intense hugs not trying to constrict someone was moving.

Not to mention the hundreds of peaceful, natural-law-abiding swamp adders who just want to devour rats in peace, but the second one starved, abused prisoner lashes out at its human captors it's an indictment of the whole species!

Continue to press your case, snake representative. You have right on your side.

It's a long road, but someone's gotta do it!
