Hello everybody !

My name is Maxime. I am a french student. I have lived in Paris since September because I am studying in Paris !

My first contact with the serie was during summer , one or two episode .. but recenty I watched the entire series in one week maybe , I liked it ! Then I watched again all the episodes with my family for the holidays , I love it !
When I watched a serie or a film , I always listen the music during hours, and I love this one !!

so ..let's have dinner !!

Thank you vhanja and mrshouse It is the first I wrote in a forum, it is exciting to join a fan community where do you come from ?

In the last 3 years, I didn't watched too much series because of my studies, now I have more free times. That is why I am late I began Breaking Bad last week too (but it is not the topic of the forum ^^)

Thank you for your warm welcome Harriet ,Bronte89,Schmiezi and SusiGo
I take the opportunity to ask you questions to better understand your jokes and your jargon

Harriet ,tea instead of a dinner , why not ? I don't understand the differents parts of you signature. Could you explain to me what is OSAJ and the quotation? and the second part of your signature ?

I am happy to be in this heaven Bronte89 what does /BC mean ? does it refer to BBC ?

With Schmiezi signature , I understand what OSAJ letters refer but I still don't understand

Schmiezi and SusiGo , I learn German at school !! I learnt during 6 years , then I stopped 3 years and this year I do again do you know some french ?

I saw your blog SusiGo, it is great ! But I still don't watch the Imitation Game

PS. how do you quote another post ?

Lovely to meet you Maxime, and thanks for the dinner invitation!

To quote you need to hit the "Quote button in the bottom of the persons post, in the right hand corner of their signature! Hope that helps!

I love tea, and am always happy to share

OSAJ is an acronym, and you know already what it stands for It began as a little joke as some mistook heartfelt passion for aggressiveness. Look into the gentle eyes of the boys in the logo, and you get an idea.

The quotation part is a comment on a photo in The Casebook that shows clearly the little attention only Sherlock actually pays to Irene when he covered her nude photo with a memo for John about dinner.
But that part of my sig is changing frequently anyway

The second part is from the scene in A Study in Pink when John has his first look at the flat.

You quote by clicking on the "Quote" link on the right side (bottom) of a post.

Thank you The Phantom Lady ! You are all very nice !

Ok I begin to understand, John could be very agressive because of Sherlock but he don't . So you want him to express his aggressiveness ?

it is in the book, but in the serie he pays some attention to her, doesn't he ?

I found the scene, it is very funny ^^

Harriet · December 30, 2014 10:08 am

No, it's a mere joke about fandom only. OSAJ decided to choose a logo that expresses both gentleness and passion, as is our love for Johnlock, not aggressive actually, yet proud to be passionate Johnlockers.

Well, the book is an official release, so it's interesting what they offer us there

maxime · December 30, 2014 10:22 am

ok I understand but now I am not sure to understand why there is the word "agressive" , I try :
Johnlockers are fans so we may think they are like groupies yet there are not ! they feel gentleness and passion for Johnlock.

Edit . I am reading some posts in the forum and I just understand that the world Johnlock means the couple John and Sherlock, that they may feel some sentiments ,isn't it ?

Exactly. Actually, you understood that better than other people.

Hello and welcome!

Paris is such a lovely city, I was there for 4 or 5 times. Although I have learned French at school for 3 years, I´m not good in it. I can better understand than speak or write.
English is not easy for me too, but I can answer one of your questions:
BC is a short form for Benedict Cumberbatch.
