Hello!
I was delighted to find this forum, because for a while I've belonged to a French Sherlock forum, which is slightly strange considering the fact that I'm not, in fact, actually French. It's good fun, but I kind of thought I'd join a forum where I don't have to use a dictionary to post! XD
I've been pretty Sherlocked for a while, since about February (I actually read the canon before I let myself watch the series, nerd that I am) and as a PBS-loyal American I only recently watched Series 2. Seriously brilliant stuff, and I definitely can't get enough!
I'm an avid reader, a viola player, and my entire family thinks that I'm beyond strange because I enjoy watching grown men pitch themselves off hospital rooftops. What else is new? Nice to be here, and I'm glad to find a place where I can nerd out in my native language.

Re: Hello!
Welcome Smoggy.
Can't wait to see how we compare to the French forum.

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Re: Hello!
Welcome indeed Smoggy. Better not to be Le Smog (or is it La?), unless honorary. Hope you have a great time amongst this trusty band of Sherlockians.

Re: Hello!
I've only been playing for about a month. I fiddled around (ha ha) with the guitar for a while before that so the transition wasn't too hard. I also played the clarinet for several years. The one big difference is that you have to feel for the notes on the viola, which isn't too hard when you're just plucking the strings, but when you're bowing it's hard to keep your hand from slipping down the finger board. Practice makes it so much easier because your fingers just learn what to do.

Re: Hello!
I play the violin much like Sherlock does. That is, in those moments when he is mindlessly scraping the bow across the strings, producing no particular melody...

Re: Hello!
Thank you! I wish I was so advanced that I could just absentmindedly fiddle with the thing. I can do it pizzicato but if I'm using the bow I usually have to really focus on what I'm doing.
Someday, though...
