Re: Why are Sherlock Holmes fans so insane?

[(Anonymous)]

I think a lot of it has to do with the way that Doyle wrote the world of Sherlock Holmes. You have an interesting character in Sherlock Holmes, and you have Holmes and Watson's lifestyle which is essentially grown-up adventure where they seem to do nothing but solve cool mysteries, and the world never changes around them, really. And then you have the atmosphere - the way that Doyle wrote London, dripping with intrigue and danger and mystery, with the hansom cabs rolling down rain-soaked streets, or the thick fog pressing against window-panes - and you have the details, the way that Doyle would include little bits and pieces of references to real life, or fragmentary references to other adventures, that makes it seem like the stories really are just little segments of a larger whole.

So you combine all those things together, and you have a world that people want to spend time in, that they're attracted to, and plenty of room for them to imagine things about it, plenty of things to obsess over. There's just a lot of ways to think about it and get caught up in it, and a lot of reasons to want to do so, I guess. It's lovely.
