A great ton of them think it somehow appropriate to send them NC-17 fic or art, not only to them but also to Martin Freeman's wife. I'm aware that this happens in every fandom but the Sherlock fandom has made a sport out of it, seriously.

Then they continue to ask Mark Gatiss if he ships Sherlock/John because he's gay which just... I won't even touch that.

And then there's the abuse of course. Most recently about the fact that they made some cryptic comment about Mary and a ton of fans started harassing them on twitter along the lines of "HDU SHOVE A WOMAN AT OUR SLASH COUPLE!!!", wow.

also to Martin Freeman's wife

Now I'm actually feeling kind of bad about even watching the show if that's what they have to put up with because of it. That's awful. I've heard of fandom batshit insanity before of course but still D:

^^ THAT.

That's so fucking terrible. Oh my goodness, never have I felt such strong second-hand embarrassment.

REALLY?! To his WIFE?!

Ok, Amanda Abbington found the stuff on her own and gets a kick out of it. No one showed it to her/forced it on her. Martin had Mark take several photos of him dedicated to girls on Tumbor. Andrew Scott has used the tumblr fandom to get everyone (including me) renting two short film of he's that would likely never have been seen otherwise. If you were IN the fandom, you would know all that. As far as the writer's being tweeted links to fic and art, yes, it's embarrassing, BUT, the writers themselves admit to taking to Twitter with a fierce enthusiasm to promote the fuck out of their show when all of the sudden they realized they had no time or money to do so. This is what you get, a few people probably experiencing fanfic for the first time and tweeting that god damn Alone on the Water fic at Gatiss & Moffat. The author of that fic is thoroughly embarrassed by it and has asked people not to do it.

It's a give and take relationship on the internet, they used it to promote and got back an outpouring of enthusiasm that a few immature apples give a bad name to.
