BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 » The Mycroft Picture Thread

Now I'm totally in lust with Sherlock, but I'm getting a bit of a crush on Mycroft too now - ha ha!

Can I be totally cheeky, and suggest a Mycroft picture thread...mostly posing with Sherlock and John, of course, to sate everybody.

I want to post my favourite pic of them, the one with Sherlock and Mycroft in profile (when they were at the morgue) but, being new here, I don't know what the etiquette is for posting pics. Can I only post screenshots that I have taken, or can I take something from a Google search and post it? I don't want to break any rules...

Thanks for asking. There are no set rules but I usually post my own screenshots and use links for others. You never know what may happen with copyright. On the other hand we have lots of pics on the threads and so far nothing has happened. I think with screenshots you are quite safe but I never post pics with watermarks or from magazine photo shoots, etc.
You may also ask the Boss (Sherlock Holmes) to be on the safe side.

Apart from that - give us lots of Mycroft (and making screenshots is a lot of fun, too).

Thanks for your advice, SusiGo!

Here's my first pic to hopefully set the ball rolling...

Not the profile pic, actually, but that will follow...

Hope I've done this correctly. I've never uploaded a pic to a forum before!

Very good pic. They are wonderful together and I am very happy that we learn more about their relationship in series 3. This is one the things about the show - how well the actors work with each other, the chemistry among them is amazing.

Oh yes, yes, yes, a Mycroft Picture Thread - what a great idea!
I have to say that I've really come to love Mycroft more and more - which undoubtedly has a lot to do with Mark's performance. The dynamics between Sherlock and Mycroft are getting more wonderful with each episode. What would "Sherlock" be without Mycroft?

And those Setlock pics with Andrew are just hilarious! I couldn't resist and had to put one of those into a frame because I love it so much.

I love the gif of him smoking, (not that I think smoking is a wise choice but I'll make an exception with Mycroft!).
Thanks for posting!

I approve of this thread.

Have always thought Mark and Ben favor enough to pass as relatives.

SusiGo · January 31, 2014 5:32 pm

Sorry, but this is really killing me.

gently69 · January 31, 2014 5:56 pm

Oh God Yes! This... is unbelievable.

SpiralStaircase · January 31, 2014 6:10 pm

Yes, that scene breaks my heart too. So tragic.

I love writing Sherlock/Mycroft scenes in my fanfics. Actually, I really love writing Mycroft. I can hear him so clearly in my head.

SpiralStaircase · January 31, 2014 6:13 pm

So sad and lonely...

Not that I needed any proof, but this finally made absolutely clear that he was telling the truth and nothing but the truth when in ASiP he said: "I worry about him. Constantly."
