Everyone on board the train to dysfunction function! Toot, toot.

[(Anonymous)]

People all over the world (everybody)
Join hands (join)
Start a disfunction train, disfunction train
People all over the world (all the world, now)
Join hands (disfunction ride)
Start a disfunction train (disfunction ride), disfunction train

The next stop that we make will be soon
Tell all the folks in Livejournal, and Tumblr, too
Don't you know that it's time to get on board
And let this train keep on riding, riding on through
Well, well

It's reaaally easy to be popular in this fandom, OP. You write decent fic/draw decent art+you ship Johnlock=raging popularity spreading like wildfire.

[(Anonymous)]

...and this would be why I bailed on the fandom, OP. Fun fact: I bailed on the fandom before I bailed on the show, but now that I have happily eliminated both from my life, I feel 100% that I have dodged a bullet, given the amount of sheer histrionic insanity that has occurred both onscreen and off, WRT BBC Sherlock.

[intrigueing]

This is true of like 60% of all mega-popular fandoms, tbh. It's all about how people comparatively view you after the last 30 fics they read. ;)

[rubbertea]

i'm sure you could draw a parallel between the fandom's 'dysfunction' and the fiasco that is the show itself

as we say in france, 'qui se ressemble s'assemble'

[seventh_seal]

I have such a guilty pleasure reading posts that call BBC Sherlock a fiasco.

[(Anonymous)]

...because they are rare gems, shining brightly in the darkness that is squee-filled, over-hormonal Tumblr?

[(Anonymous)]

It's probably because you write porn or post halfway decent graphics on tumblr. There's no correlation between mental health and popularity in the Sherlock fandom.

[blueonblue]

I've been around Sherlock for over a year now, and I have no idea who is popular and who isn't. I can tell you who writes decent Sherlock/Lestrade, but that's about it. Having such a narrow interest is lonely, but it also avoids pointless drama.

[(Anonymous)]

OMG you mentioned my ship. *waves flag*

[blueonblue]

I mention it often. :)

[(Anonymous)]

is geothebio still the big cheese, I wonder?

[(Anonymous)]

no, it's cheddar

[blueonblue]

Maybe. Sherlock fandom is full of cheese...

[(Anonymous)]

Who?

[inevitableentresol]

Sherlock/Lestrade recs please.

My fave Sherstrade writer deleted all her fics from A03 a couple of years back. :(

This is about my favourite fic now, though there's only a hint of the ship in it, it's highly effective. Plotty comedy.

Who deleted their fics? I've only been around Sherlock fandom since January 2013 - I posted here and at FFA asking where I could find the Sherlock/Lestrade part of fandom.

Archea2 has put together a good list of S/L recs part 1 part 2

Some newer fics, relationship fics or pwp:
The Operative Word - Peevee
Lighting Up - Persiflager
Waterlooed - Archea2
Mancunian Matters - Thirdbird
Once Upon a December - Christinefromsherwood
The Bastard's Back - Unovis
I almost didn't read grassle's 5 Times Sherlock and Lestrade Never Met series because of the summary, but I loved the second fic in the series and the last one.

I'm sorry! None of those are plotty comedy.

I write case fics, which have plots and are supposed to be funny. For example:
High Windows - Sherlock tries to solve a case even though Lestrade might have personal reasons for wanting it to stay a mystery.
Sherlock and the Queen of Winter is fantasy/comedy case fic.

[inevitableentresol]

grassle is my favourite Sherstrade writer. I love, love her writing. She deleted on A03 a few years ago but I see she's come back.

She used to have a lot more fics up on A03 than she has now. Including a plotty medieval Sherlock fic (kind of a Caedfael mashup) that included Sherlock trotting along on a memorably tiny horse. So much love for that.

That Sebastian Wilkes/Sherlock longfic she has up is extremely enjoyable too, even though I'd never thought of the pairing before.

Thanks for taking the trouble to give so many lovely recs. I shall peruse them at my leisure. I've read quite a few of those authors before so I imagine many will be fun re-reads.

[blueonblue]

I didn't know the fics had been deleted - the medieval one sounds like it was great. I wanted to like the Sebastian Wilkes/Sherlock fic because of the belle and sebastian titles, but I can really only get into S/L and gen. Even though not many S/L fics are being posted now, it's still more active than any of my other fandoms.

You are dysfunction?

[elephantinegrace]

That's pretty impressive, actually.

And the trick to getting popular in any fandom is writing good porn. That's about it.

Re: You are dysfunction?

[(Anonymous)]

And the trick to getting popular in any fandom is writing good porn. That's about it.

Not necessarily. I've been middling popular in a couple of bigger fandoms while writing around 70% gen. I do, however, write lots of h/c friendship fic and a bunch of action-y AUs. Tropey goodness will do in lieu of porn, if you're that way inclined ;)

[silvereriena]

Is it easier or harder to be a BNF in big fandoms?
