Amazing. Never thought of it like that, tykobrian. It is what they call mirrors.

I'm also on the Greg/Molly train. I think they'd be good for each other

As for Johnlock...I do ship it very much! I don't know if it will ever happen, but it seems more likely after Series 3. Unfortunately, that would mean getting rid of Mary and I like her, so it's a dilemma for me. But I would be very happy if it happened!!

but only in that one category ;-)

I just wondered... was there ever a Johnlock poll here in the forum?
Like, how many of the active members actually ship Johnlock?

ukaunz · October 5, 2015 5:42 am

That would be interesting to know. There would have to be more options than "yes" or "no" though, as some people ship them in the show and others only in fanfiction.

Whisky · October 5, 2015 11:33 am

I don't know how to make a poll :-)

nakahara · October 5, 2015 11:42 am

Isn´t the poll at the start of this thread?

ukaunz · October 5, 2015 11:44 am

I just had a look, and it seems easy enough, though I've never tried it myself.

So you need to start a new topic, and down the bottom of the message box, next to the B I U there's a little button to make a poll. Then you just fill in your question options. Make sure you think of all the options you want to include, because I don't think you can go back and edit them (but I could be wrong on this).

Lol nakahara, you're right

Good point. Blame my internet connection for not loading content except text, and blame me for not having a proper look.
Still, it feels more like 80-20 to me when reading threads.

But it's true, the yes and no option has limits.

I was not aware of this threat until you guys posted on it today. Interesting. It's closer to being balanced than I was expecting. Like Whisky says, I don't get that same impression talking on the forum, but then again I don't know how many people voted on this and are not very active anymore. I guess I'm part of the 33%.

That has to be my favourite typo
But you're riht of course, it's scary how they dominate the place

Yitzock · October 5, 2015 2:33 pm

Whoops! That is a typo, thank you Whisky. Although it is subjective whether we are under threat by the Johnlockers.

Schmiezi · October 6, 2015 5:18 am

Well, there is a two-third mayority that ships them. Not really balanced if you ask a Mathematics teacher.

Fun fact: with the participants of the Secret Santa Fic Exchange, there was a four-fifth mayority of shippers. Last year, it was nearly balanced.

silverblaze · October 6, 2015 7:51 am

Schmiezi, Yitzock said that it was closer to being balanced than she thought. She didn't say it was 50/50, just that she'd expected the majority to be even larger than it is according to this poll. I hope a Mathematics teacher would understand that difference.

As for the Secret Santa, I got a bit nervous because I really can't write slash but I figured that surely a shipper would enjoy a frienship story too.

Lilythiell · October 6, 2015 2:50 pm

A majority of shippers you say...as we're in a thread about Johnlock, I'll suppose that majority is composed of Johnlock shippers...Do you think there might be a possibility -however slight it may be- that series 3 has somehow..."convinced" non shippers to ship?

In my case yes, more or less. I enjoyed shipping before but S3 convinced me that it will happen on screen one day.

SusiGo · October 6, 2015 3:41 pm

We could also start a new detailed poll - shipping Johnlock yes or no, in the show or just in headcanon/fanfic, do you ship other pairings, etc. But one has to start a new topic, you cannot integrate a poll into an existing thread.

RavenMorganLeigh · October 6, 2015 5:30 pm

I'm an odd bird in that I ship johnlock primarily, but also ship Sherstrade and Viclock!

tonnaree · October 6, 2015 5:58 pm

I would love to see Molly and Lestrade get together. I think they are perfect for each other.

ooops, sorry. Bit off topic.

That's OK. From the looks of things, Rupert Graves might ship it a little, too.
