Re: Encountering Sherlockians Randomly
Oh, that is so not fair...!!! 
Just having so many little different ones like that.... not to mention the timing/luck/happenchance of it being brought up.... who knows... probably encountered various fellow fans of things, but with no physical sign or instigator like that... ah, well. Maybe I need to get a shirt or something too... 
So cool.... can just imagine the second-take surprised delight at seeing someone with a matching shirt!

Re: Encountering Sherlockians Randomly
Ha! I just had a photographer at home and she wanted to take a pic of me in front of my laptop. So I switched it on and she saw my Sherlock and John wallpaper and was enthusiastic! So I showed her the calendar and the mousepad as well. She loved it all.

Re: Encountering Sherlockians Randomly
Is this going to be a homestory or just a new author's photo for your next book, Susi?
So good to know that there are people around who can get inspired by our Sherlock equipment.
Yesterday I bought three white wooden numbers and one white wooden letter. Of course the cashier kept a straight face...

Re: Encountering Sherlockians Randomly
It's for an interview with Welt am Sonntag which will be in one of the next issues.
Must have been very bad at deduction and observation, I suppose.

Re: Encountering Sherlockians Randomly
Ok ok I must tell you, because today I've finally met someone who is addicted with Sherlock too!
It was at a friend's houseparty. I know the girl I'm gonna talk about now for five years because she is the friend of my best friend and has been in my old school class, before I've been changing schools.
So we were chilling at the balcony talking about The Hobbit (as she is a big and obsessive LotR fan) and I mentioned that Martin Freeman is my favorite actor, because I find him lovely and that I already knew him before The Hobbit. She answered that she also knew him before from Sherlock.
So I asked her exictedly: "You know Sherlock???" - "Yeah, it's my favorite series!" - "Mine too!!!"
... and we were jumping and screaming and squeling with glee like primary school kids.
Needless to say we're gonna meet for a long Sherlock evening now.
Ah, I'm so lucky 
So no need for me to move to Canada

Re: Encountering Sherlockians Randomly
That's cool! I myself have gotten my fifth friend now converted to Sherlock. ;) Not all of them as super into, but doesn't matter... it's cool they all got 'wow, this is great' with it, a couple of them having asked now and then when it's coming back... ;) ;)
Okay, so I have no idea where to put this next part, but encountering a cute/funny example of a sherlockian makes sense, so...
Found the pic on pinterest.. a quick search shows it's from various 'reader blurbs' in The Telegraph, and is, quite frankly, kind of ridiculously hilariously awesome, in a 'shaking your head at this guy and sharing a laugh' way..... oi, seriously, man... what would Sherlock say!!

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

Re: Encountering Sherlockians Randomly
Just found a Sherlockian at our clay-forum when posting my Sherlock mini sculpture there. Maybe not really obsessed, yet, but she told me she'd have recognised my figure even without the photo I added. When I asked further, she told me she watched all episodes and found it brilliant.
At least one clever girl in my "second" forum.

If you posted a pic of the sculpture on this forum, I didn't see it. Please share.

Re: Encountering Sherlockians Randomly
Thanks, veece!
I suggested that lady to watch Sherlock undubbed and she thanked me and will give it a try.
I told her she will enjoy it. I did NOT tell her it could be dangerous. Hehe!

Oh Mattlocked, you're turning normal humans into obsessive junkies, who don't care about decent 
I expect to meet her in this forum soon.
