Thank you for responding! 

It's actually for a writing class I'm taking. I'm analysing this page as an "online community." And my professor wants us to conduct primary research. I don't really feel comfortable telling this whole page where I go to school, but I do attend university in the states. 

I think we do have a sense of fellowship here, yes. Many of our members have met up outside of the internet and become friends as a result, and it's like our own little family on here most of the time.

Outsiders are most welcome and encouraged. The more people join this fandom and discover the joys of Sherlock the better.

For me personally, my other hobbies and interests are writing, attending theatre shows, cosplaying, roleplaying and being involved in other fandoms.

Hope that's answered your questions ok!

Thanks
