Ok, I shall expand.
1.  I differentiate between personal fantasies, fan fictions(art and vids too), TV shows and real life.
2.  Mark and Steven have written a running joke through Sherlock:  that people think Sherlock and John are gay.  We all know they are not and THEREIN lies the comedy, we all find it hilarious and laugh at the characters who make this error.
3.  Steven and Mark have said they have no problem with people's fantasies.  However, they write the series as the boys being friends, this is what they said.

I made my point clear already, pls. think of another expression than We All, thank you 

... and the characters also get to see things that we don't.

I meant, that's also part of the writing. The camera doesn't follow every character everywhere all the time, some solutions are given later or even never. So it's not only the other way around.

VERY good point! And this gives us room to think and discuss it all over... FUN! 

In a way the running joke of the gay references has shown exactly how easily the public can be manipulated in their opinions. In Sherlock, John is outraged by the newspapers' innuendos because he knows that some people, a lot of people, will pick up on that and run with it in the way the journalists want. Ironically, that is exactly what has happened with the innuendos and jokes in the series, in real life. (Making a clear distinction between the two here). Can you see the immediate and clear parallels? 

I'm not sure if they really believe it. I think they want to believe because they like the idea. I don't and I was really irritated when I noticed that fanfic the first time. Meanwhile I'm kinda "used to it" and think it's funny - up to a certain point. 

I agree.
A lot of things in the web are quite weird  and I understand when esp. the actors (concerned directly) go "OMG!" when they see it. Must be a real strange feeling for them when already I am kind of shocked sometimes.
I like some of the fanvids though - some scenes cut together and some nice music.... It's kind of "Oh yes, that was nice in the show!" for me. Kind of new trailers from time to time.
Have to be careful anyway not to stumble upon the "wrong" ones.....

Oh some of it is beautiful, but it doesn't seem right to see our boys like that.
I mean, other than in our heads.
But yes, I applaud talent.
