Someone on my f'list recced your recs... so I'm workin' my way through them. These are great stories, thanks for finding them for us!

You are spot-on that A Study in Emerald is FF. I think one of the reasons we all adore Neil so is that so much of his work *is* FF. He is a great, big fanboy, after all. I thought you might be interested to know that A Study in Emerald won the Hugo Award at the last World Con, so I'd say it's got quite a pedigree and a lot of people agree with you.
