Welcome S.E!.  Shippers, Johnlockers, bromancers, ACD canon worshipers, Cumberbatchers....it's all fine.  I just joined a few days ago and I've been having a ball discovering the different threads.  You will too.  The people on this Forum are great.  We all have to stick together to keep our sanity until the next series  .  Glad you're here.

I'm glad I'm not the only new person here x3
And that's great! I was talking to someone on another site a while ago who was very rude because I shipped johnxsherlock :c



@Keepersprice: Thank you! I agree! I just finished watching the Fall yesterday..so many feels! I'm devastated that we have to wait until NEXT YEAR to see series 3 Dx

@veecee: Thank you Ahahaha, I just mean I like them as a couple x3 they're so cute!! I hope I will, I need more sherlockians to communicate with, which is basically why I joined this forums ^_^

  Welcome to our little world of Sherlock!!  Yeah  there's so many topics/threads for you to play in here.   How ELSE  are we gonna survive until the 3rd series?  I  don't mind the shipping,  or the bromance talk..  As you post more, you'll notice a new title under your name.   I'm having so much fun posting due to that reason.    welcome again!!!

Hi, Sarah,
Welcome. You didn't offend me because I don't understand what that means. If it means you are hot for both of them, I totally get it.
Anyway, you'll have fun here.

*smile*  It means Sarah likes to (prefers to?) think of Sherlock and John as a couple, in a romantic relationship.  Relation...ship.  Get it?  heh

In my last two fandoms, romance between two people of the same gender was called slash. There was M/M slash and F/F slash. If someone was into ship, they were into reading and writing about M/F relationships. I'm wondering if the Sherlock fandom doesn't use the slash word. Anyone know?

Hello Sarah!
Uhh, a Johnlocker (me too, hehe). Where do you come from? If you don't mind answering..

@hypergreenfrog:
Yes, slash is generally used for homosexual ships, so also in the Sherlock community. There are indeed a lot of people using the word but I guess - since quite everybody knows who people are talking about - it's more often that the names of the characters are used. Like Johnlock or Mystrade.

I like the mystery about them as well but their friendship is very, very special. Even Irene hints at love when mentioning the punch in the face. I think all this fandom and fan fiction code is hard to understand. It took me a while until I found out what slash meant. This forum is much fun and I'm very happy to be part of this delightful bunch. Feel free to express your opinions  .

Slash is the term I am familiar with from the other fandom I play in.  I googled ship and, well, yeah, it must be a generational thing.  As a fanfic writer--though not, yet, for Sherlock--I write the characters both ways in my other fandom but here, while I love the phrase Johnlock, I think I prefer to think of Sherlock and John as not a romantically involved couple.  But if it's well-written, I'll definitely read slash about them.

Have you read Madlori's "Performance in a Leading Role"?  It's an AU, novel-length, S/J as very accomplished and well-known actors. Lovely work. But definitely slash, romance, forever-ness, the whole 9 yards. If you want to see it, she has it up at fanfiction.net and perhaps AO3.

@Tantalus: ahahaha, they're basically just smileys...I have a habit of overusing them, my apologies ^_^ and thank you! I'm glad to be here

@hypergreenfrog: I'm glad I'm not the only one! haha x3 Pleased to meet you as well I also do think that would be the way I looked at them if I wasn't already so into making them a couple xD I love their friendship as well, it's quite interesting. I agree! I love reading the fanfics more, for some reason, I guess it's because I've always been better at making them a couple with the fanfics, since there's no editing, it's just emotions <3

@Sammy: Hey! I'm glad I'm not the only one o; and I am from Florida How about you? (if you don't mind my asking)

@veecee: I actually like some parts of that, but since I ship them, I start thinking it's one-sided from Sherlock, which messes up the whole friends thing xD I suck at making them just friends, but I respect that others can leave it at that c:

Actually, in the ACD canon, I prefer them to be friends, I think it's just the casting for me that makes me think 'COUPLE!" hehe

@SusiGo: I know what you mean! I was completely confused with some of the wordings used before, but now that I know what they mean, they've become like a second language to me xD
I adore their friendship, but for me, it doesn't seem like enough in this series, I for one would love to see if the "modern" Sherlock could actually go into the the whole "gay" theme, it would be interesting to see... xD
Thank you!

@Milkomeda: Thank you!
