hello everyone - a bit nervous. Became a Sherlock fan very late, just a couple months ago, but have since become a ravenous beast for all things Sherlock, and most obsessively, Benedict Cumberbatch! I'm prolly one of the older members here...does that make me a creeper? No matter, I adore everything about the man: his looks, his philosphy, his acting, HIS VOICE. I follow everyone from the show who has a Twitter account, and would love to be part of #setlock. I even started Meetup group to find those of a like mind in my area, and even started a Tumbr to fill with all those dishy pics of BC (so many pics...so little time) I'm also slogging through the entire ACD/SH canon, having never read it before, so I've become quite the obsessive fan. I can only hope it all tapers off...a little.
Sherlock, IMHO, is the most perfect TV program I've ever watched. From the writing (OH! to have a mind like that) to the acting, to the MUSIC (also obsessed about that), to the cinematography, to London itself (want to move there), everything is done so brilliantly. Hopefully I've now caught up enough to join the other fans who are waiting anxiously for Season 4. But these two-year hiatuses are insanity...is Moftiss trying to kill off their fanbase?
Similarities to Sherlock: I'm single, I don't suffer fools well, am impatient, I'm social but have few friends (why can't people just think?), I'm smarter than I let on, and my father actually is a mathematician! (did his daughter inherit any of that mathy-ness? Fraid not). No violin. No beakers. No heads in the fridge.
Looking forward to meeting new fans/friends (and if you're in the Dallas area, would love to have you join my Meetup group: meetupDOTcom/SHERLOCKED-Allen-Plano-McKinney).

Warm welcome, angel.
I am sure you will soon see that you have chosen the right place to share your addiction.
(I am looking for a polite way to tell you that there are more members here older than the typical fangirl, but I can think of none. )

Hello there and welcome - I'm a newish fan too! I don't know what took me so long. I would guess that many, many fans are on the older side, however you define "older"!

A warm welcome, angel, from one of the older, ahem, girls. Have fun.

Hi Angel,
Welcome to the forum. I only discovered Sherlock last September and I love everything about it too. I am also making my way through all the books. I love BC as well. Have fun.

Welcome to the forum, angelislington
I totally agree with you about how perfect BBC Shelrock is. I watch a lot of tv series with good acting, writing, directing, music, locations, drama, humour,... but Sherlock is the only one that has it all. And oh, Benedict...
Nice to meet you

Nice to meet another new Sherlock fan! I've only been on the forum a few weeks, and so far, it seems like we come from all age groups (many are what the high school and college-aged people would consider "older.") It's interesting how much Sherlock draws such a wide variety of fans.
There's also the fact that you're never too old to fangirl (especially over somebody like Benedict).
