Thank you so much !!

@La Jolie I got the thicker one in Zara, and the other one at another local shop which was unfortunately closed. I also find it pretty hard finding one that looks Sherlock-accuratelocally, but I think they sell some replicas in certain cosplay stores (like cosplaysky, if I remember correctly. Or maybe Amazon or Ebay).
Btw, I firmly believe that cosplay is for everyone, disregardless or sex, race and body type, so definitely give Sherlock a go if you ever feel like it in the future ! Don't let things such as body type hold you off! For example, I love Captain America, and I'm definitely cosplaying him even if my ohysique doesn't fit at all xD. Or Ten, even if I don't look anywhere near David Tennant

I've noticed that there isn't a category dedicated to cosplay, and especifically a thread about members who cosplay Sherlock, so I thought about starting one. *mods, feel free to move this if it belongs elsewhere*

So do you, have you, or would you want to cosplay Sherlock? Genderbent or crossplay, show me your cosplay pics!

I've been cosplaying Sherlock for nearly a year, and I love it. Sherlock is the character I identify the most with (minus the deductions and the Mind Palace, and most of the tactless behaviour xD), and we happen to have a similar style as well, so that'd explain why I feel so comfortable when cosplaying him - I love his kind of suits, wear a lot of black and purple, and since adquiring a coat replica last December (the CosplaySky one), I've made it my day-to-day Winter coat (and walking in the city has never been so cool :D). 
I usually go for a more femlock approach, given that I've not tried cosplaying Sherlock with a wig yet, and my hair is pretty long (I normally keep it bunned or half-up, half-down). But I'd like to attempt crossplay as well. Also, I'd like to get some colour-contacts for a future shoot.
I publish my cosplay shots on DeviantArt  (we did a London locations shoot earlier this month, but haven't uploaded those yet).
 
And here is a pic overload, I'm afraid. Sorry for the huge pics, it's DeviantArt's fault xD. Please feel free to post lots of pic overloads of your own!

 You make an adorable Molly, rebeccaholmes !

It's a really interesting topic, it's surprising (or not, seeing that most societies are patriarchal) to see how many historical warrior-women have been erased from history books and popular culture.

I do ancient Spanish rapier sword-fighting, Alatriste style Really cool

Can I just say - although this is the thread about what we don't want to happen - that I really like that idea. Sherlock and Jim have to work together for some reason - maybe against Mary?

Well, Mary is of course not evil (There! I've said it! ) but never mind me. I just liked the idea of two characters who have had a very strongly defined, unambiguous relationship so far being thrown together in a new way that questions their previous relationship. That's the only way I can see any revived Sherlock/Jim dynamics offering anything new and interesting.

But then, Jim being a complete and utter psychopath, totally irrational and not even subject to the fundamental human instinct of self-preservation, he's probably not the right candidate for the sort of development I was envisaging. With most villains it would be interesting to see them being made to revise their goals and methods and alliances, but it's only really interesting with those that act the way they do because of their convictions. It's not interesting with those that act the way they do simply because of a severe biochemical mess-up in their brains. Someone like Jim would be physically unable to see things differently and revise their former actions accordingly...

Which all adds up, again, to "No more psychopaths, please!"

But never mind Moriarty, either. Of course he isn't back. His supposed return was just some colossal scheme of Mycroft's to get his little brother out of the crap at the last moment. 

Sherlock and Moriarty having to team up against a common enemy does sound cool! I would watch that! Bit similar as T

Yay! The more the merrier !

And don't make Mary 'evil', please. It was enough that you had her shoot Sherlock. 

Of course, some people might consider that a bit evil already ... Just saying.

Touchée ! I meant 'evil' as in siding with Moriarty or something, as in actually going against Sherlock and John in earnest. Sorry for not expressing myself correctly.
I do have mized feelings about her and the shooting, still think she could have found a solution that involved not shooting Sherlock (like confiding in him and letting him help her get away before John saw her?!). However, I still rather like her, so I'll give her a second chance. I still would have liked to see a bit more remorse about shooting her partner's best friend, though...I don't want them to keep writing her like this, that was I meant with her not turning 'evil' in S4. I DON'T want the stereotype of 'powerful woman is evil woman' here as well. We've had Irene, then Janine, now we have Mary. Who's going to be next, Molly for becoming more confident? Mrs Hudson for having a dodgy past in a drugs cartel? Mummy Holmes for writing combustion science books?? :/

To tell the truth, although I did have my prejudices when I first watched series 3, now I like practically everything, so there aren't that many things I don't want to see.

  I don't mind about:
-The return of Moriarty (as long as they don't make things repetitive, I don't want a repeat of series 2)
-The appearance of Sherrinford. As long as he's Tom Hiddleston , and it's more of a secondary-cameo character than anything else. Perhaps only in one episode, that would be cool.
-Baby Watson: Not sure how things will evolve with a baby, and it's seems that it's going to happen, but I wouldn't mind about a scene featuring Sherlock babysitting, as long as it involves him teaching her how to say ''murder" xD. I wouldn't like a sugary, domestic environment with lots of baby scenes, though. Please don't. Ugh.
-Mary (as long as she's not a 'villain'). I think she interacts really well with Sherlock and John and wouldn't hinder case plots like we had in series 1 and 2 (she might even take a more active role in them, now she's a badass assassin, which I would actually love).
-Molly not moving on. Now she's confident, badass Molly, I would even approve of Sherlolly on screen (shipper off screen), but I think a fandom ship (taken seriously) would look pretty awkward on screen and it's not fair to choose one, make it canon and ignore the others. So probably not gonna happen, and it's probably for the best. I way prefer Sherlolly friendship, though, I loved it in series 3. 
Also, I prefer a non-relationships Sherlock above any ship, at least on-screen. Shows that not anyone needs a romantic relationship, and that not all characters should conform to that pattern. Sherlock works best with his friend John, his brilliance and his cases (and his other friends). Not with domestic environments or romance.

But I really wouldn't like -

1) Any Adlock. If Irene turns up again, please just make her an ally of Sherlock, nothing more. Same with Janine. Didn't like her, wou
