F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

I call the show that because the Sherlock in that show is nothing like Sherlock Holmes and is based on Moffat's concept for the character. And the show was his concept, also. And he has ultimate authority and final approval for everything. Since it's very likely that people will think I'm talking about ACD's character of Sherlock Holmes if I say Sherlock, I say Moffat's Sherlock to differentiate. I only do it when talking to other Sherlockians* and the ones I know all hate Moffat's Sherlock as much as I do, so it's added fun for us when we're bashing what is the absolute worst portrayal of ACD's characters and stories.

*True Sherlockians, i.e members of a Sherlockian Society, not silly little fangirls on tumblr

also "fangirls"? really? are we really doing the "girl like thing girl ruin thing" thing here, because if so your anger is misplaced and should be directed at the fanBOY who mucked things up with his au

I kind of see what AYRT is saying since Sherlockian Societies are for meta, not celebration. They should have just said that instead of being a total dick.
