Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Re: Sherlockian Fandom- then & now
If anyone is interested in the origins of Sherlockian scion culture in the United States, check out Christopher Morley's The Standard-Doyle Company (edited by the current BSJ editor Steven Rothman) and Jon Lellenberg's BSI Archival History (especially Vol.2 and Vol.3).
Sherlockians have been uber-dedicated for years and some of the earliest (c. 1930-1940) Sherlockians would even surprise some of today's most 'intense' BBC Sherlock fans.

Re: Sherlockian Fandom- then & now
I think along with Tolkien-fans, Sherlockians have to be the most dedicated.
