Oh I'm old and wise enough to know I would never have a chance with Benedict...and I'm married!

Same with me. Benedict is my big puppy love at the moment. I live it out (to the extreme) in this brilliant forum and with the very very nice girls I met in person because of it.

It's so different to be a fan nowadays. Back in the 1980s I had to wait for articles in newspapers, TV performances or newsletters from a fanclub (which were REAL letters!), went to shops for anything to buy and write letters, to get any contact to other fans.
Thanks to the internet with all it's possibilities being a fan is much more intensive.
 

I'm right there with you, ladies! I'm married, 43, and crushing on Benedict like a crazy teenager! I have a Pinterest board dedicated to Sherlock, but mostly Ben. Just like posters on my bedroom wall as a kid! Yes, the internet makes it so much easier than the fan clubs of the 80s.  Instant gratification!  Or actually, more like instant frustration. ;-) At least we can share all of that here.

Just jump in to tell you I´m Benaddicted! But also a bit Sherlocked. This is still my favourite character (beside Khan) and that was the one I fell in love with. So I think I must be a bit weird to be attracted by a sociopath. But I can´t help :-)

It's hard not to be Sherlocked! Maybe I'm a bit nuts, but there's just something about his intelligence and personality that is irresistible. He is not quite the sociopath he claims to be, as sometimes he shows a caring side and some level of emotion. It could be how Benedict plays him though.  God, he's brilliant. <sighs> <3

But what could he do to help???

If I'm ever fortunate enough to meet him, I will gladly ask! I've got a few suggestions for him, if he runs out of ideas. ;-)

Started as Sherlocked, but quite early on get "Paraded" and then it took just a couple of live-interviews to enter the Benaddicted path - the only actor I have ever been interested in as a person, not only parts they play.

Summed up brilliantly!  I feel the same way!
