BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 » Hi.

Jayie · October 9, 2012 2:42 pm

I'm Jayie, as you can see, and my friend introduced me to Sherlock. She'd tried to show me Dr. Who and Merlin with moderate sucess, so I was surprised how obsessed I became with her latest show. I've been Sherlocked since a bit before Season Two came out, I'm an American so I have to wait extra-long to watch new Sherlock episdoes (except my friends download them illegally, so I'll just watch it at their place), I know a few people who watch it but it's nice to meet people as Sherlocked as me online, I support Johnlock, and I that's all I can think of.

Non-Sherlock related, I am a huge fan of Warriors and Lion King and write a lot of fanfiction for that. Other than that I am a Phan, Browncoat, Oncer, Caskett fan, fan of Wicked, Mizzie, Renthead, Potterhead, Starkid, and a fan of Lord of the Rings (there's probably a name for that but I don't know it).

Could you tell me what these mean? Welcome aboard the board, Jayie. If you're a nice person, you'll be right at home here.

Welcome, Jayie, great to have you here. If you look around, you'll surely find some other Johnlockers.

Welcome! I hope you'll like it here.

Dramagod · October 9, 2012 3:24 pm

Thanks for clearing those up.I'm sure other people know what they meant but I'm restricted to terms like Trekkies and Mockers.

Hi there!

Welcome to the forum!
And thanks for clearing up the list of fandoms you follow, like Dramagod I was unfamiliar with most of them.

Thanks! Yeah, I figured I might here. I know a couple of people who are Sherlocked, but none of them so far support Johnlock.

Not a problem. And what's a Mocker, out of curiousity?

Thanks! Yeah, mostly I was just looking to see who would recognize them, didn't stop to think about confusing people. Sorry about that.

Hello Jayie and welcome to forum. I'm glad Drama asked before I did (of course I knew what they all meant all along ). Anyway I hope you have lots of fun around here. You sound truly SHERLOCKED.

Here lies an answer to your question:

And that always reminds me of the "Mach joke" from THIS IS SPINAL TAP (one of my favorite movies in the history of movies).

Check that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgViOqGJEvM

I know, I know. I'm derailing again, aren't I, Davina? I can't help it. It's like my own Dark Passenger.

Welcome! I've a Phantom fan too.I got to see the play four years ago and it was amazing. and of course, the movie.

Harriet · October 9, 2012 5:29 pm

Hi there, warm welcome also from me

veecee · October 9, 2012 6:21 pm

Welcome! Loved your list on the "obsessed" thread.

I'm also a fan of Wicked. My husband suprised me with tickets to the original Broadway production!

Do you mind saying where in the US you're from?

Welcome! It's kind of funny that your introduction in a way mirrors mine.

Davina · October 9, 2012 6:31 pm

Saw Wicked in the West End the other week. It was WICKED! Also saw Phantom a few years ago. Wonderful, theatrical experience.
DramaGod is the Finnish pine on the tracks! Lol.

Dramagod · October 9, 2012 6:54 pm

Don't trust a word Davina says. It's all lies. Lies I tell you! Lies!

Fellow Potterhead here. And LOTR.
