Watson’s birthday?

[mightymads]

I finally emerge from preparing my entries for Holmestice and WAdvent. Time to post something to this comm too :) I’ve read Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz and soon will write a review for it. In the meantime I have a question.

It is universally accepted that Holmes’s birthday is January 6, even though it’s fanon rather than Canon. What about Watson’s birthday? August 7? Are there any other versions? Could you share your headcanons? I don’t know whether to settle my headcanon for August 7 yet. I’d rather consider it May 22, like ACD’s birthday, but I’m not sure.

Good luck with WAdvent! Interesting, then the fanon date of Watson's birth is not so firmly set as Holmes's. It's good that we can choose whichever date we like more, each of us making it suitable for their own headcanons :)
