I guess it stands to reason that the BBC Sherlock fans who are also, secondarily, ACD Holmes fans, would go over into the ACD side of fandom. And then some of them will get into arguments with ACD Holmes fans, because their ideas about ACD Holmes are heavily shaped by their more dominant love of the BBC version - whereas ACD Holmes fans' view of the ACD story is predominantly shaped by their love of that story itself.

Yea, that makes sense. A good number of the BBC Sherlock fans I've come across don't seem interested in ACD's stories, so I guess I just haven't ran into the 'right' fans.

Yeah, most of the people I know in the fandom aren't interested in the ACD stories much. Nor am I. I've read quite a few of the short stories but that's about it, and I've only read a couple of ACD 'verse fics (as opposed to like 2500 BBC fics, lol).

I think some BBC fans may even feel slightly challenged by the whole ACD side of things, because the flip side of us BBC fans being somewhat obnoxious johnlock maniacs, is that the ACD fans can be kind of superior and judgmental.
