BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Help with bbcsherlock.com

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** May 11, 2013 5:30 pm

As I mentioned to you guys a while ago, I bought the domain name bbcsherlock.com - very handy. It's currently redirecting to this forum but I want to start building it up as a proper website where the forum is linked into it off a button similar to my cumberbabes.com front page.

There's going to be a few different pages but I'd like all the items on there to be from members of this forum. Examples of the type of sections:

ESSAYS - these will be scholarly essays and analyses, kind of like they do with the canon but specifically for BBC Sherlock. If anybodys written any and would be happy for them to be featured on the site, let me know. I've got a couple myself and have quite a few more I'd like to write. These can include extensive Fall theories, character analyses and so on and so forth.

FAN FICTION
FAN ART
These two sections kind of speak for themselves. If you have any fan fiction you've written, or art you've produced yourself and are happy to share it/have it featured on the site, get in touch.

REVIEWS - of episodes and of any BBC Sherlock related events you attend. Anyone who goes to anything like this or sees one of the episodes of Series 3 and wants to write their own review, or even a review of any of the episodes from Series 1 or 2, send them over to me and I'll put them on the site.

NEWS - Obviously there are lots of newspaper and magazine articles cropping up all the time, that we post links to here on the forum, but what I'm thinking of for this section would be any kind of news you've heard written about in your own words ie. not taking directly from any published article. These can be as short or as long as you like, just a couple of sentences would do fine, and it doesn't have to be all official like a newspaper either, it can be colloquial and chatty if you so desire it.

And that's basically it. The website is really going to be an extension of the forum. That's the plan so far. I need it to be sufficiently different from say something like Sherlockology, in order for it to stand out as a decent and original Sherlock site, so I won't be posting locations or props or costumes or anything like that.

^^^ Bumping this topic so more people can read it who might have missed it first time around!

Interesting idea, Boss. I've written only one short fanfic so far but you may put it up there. I'll post a link to this thread in the members fanfic thread as well.

Um, but the look of this site, where we can see all the forum parts, is not going to change, I hope?
Blame it on my hard school day that I'm so slow at thinking at the moment, but I can't quite imagine the result...

I'm still (more than) willing to share my fanfics.

BTW, just yesterday I've been wondering how to call it when you post something just to bring the threat up on the "recent post" list. Thanks, Boss!

No, the forum part of the site will be absolutely identical. Don't worry.

When you post something just to move a thread back up on the recent post is called 'bumping'. Sometimes people will just write that...BUMP!

Then I'm looking forward to the update!

Hi!
I've been away for a while and I don't know what the icons next to the threads in the index mean. Explain, please?
Thanks.

You mean those little crowns (some say: duck feet)? They just show that there are new posts in the respective threads since your last visit. They now replace the little looking glasses from earlier forum days.
