Here goes, Sherlock fandom ask
221cbakerst:
1. What is your favourite episode? A Study in Pink. (Just think—this is the last day I may be able to say that!) 2. Who is/are you favourite character(s) Mycroft. Sherlock. No but seriously, Mycroft.
3. Favourite Benedict Cumberbatch roles other than Sherlock? Does his audiobook version of Cassenova count? 4. Favourite Martin Freeman roles other than John? Arthur Dent!...

Watching Sherlock on iPlayer
“Available soon after”?!
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Does that mean it’ll be available a few hours later?
A day?
A week?
I took the day off work for this, people.
Halp?

Dearest Sherlock Fandom,
penworthy:
mystolenthunder:
Well, we made it. We made the eighteen month hiatus. We’ve watched. We’ve rewatched. We’ve gifed every single frame of every episode. We’ve taken over the fan fiction websites. We cried at Alone on the Water. We cringed at Flowers in a Box. We gawked in awe of Performance in a Leading Role. We’ve read the comics. We’ve seen the fan-art. We’ve given a whole new...

I've read so much fan-fic by now,
that when I finally see the real characters again two days from now, I’ll be like, “Wha?”
Lose 4 followers overnight,
eat their fish n’ loaves.

Tomorrow evening I will be posting the final chapter and the epilogue of “Performance in a Leading Role.” It might not be as exhaustively betaed as most of my chapters are due to time constraints but it will go up. I’m shooting for a posting time of no later than 8 pm EST (that’s GMT-5).
I’m sad….
Oh god, this is happening? (Was this posted yesterday? Is the final chapter...

Apparently, there is some stuff floating around in the fandom along the lines of, “Why did they have to sexualize Irene? How terrible. How inappropriate. How disappointing.” Also a bit of, “The whole dominatrix thing is an insult to women,” and, “This is not family-friendly television.”

Oh my god. I can’t even.
I seriously. I can’t.
Wow.
I need a hug.
Like, I seriously need a big, warm, loving hug right now.
I waited to the last fucking minute to get my continuing education courses, and I’ve already paid for them, so I sort of HAVE to push my way through it now.
But seriously. This company. Does not. Deserve. Certification.
They are ridiculously...
Private life.
Ugh, I can’t take this.
In order to renew my license, I have to take a certain number of courses. An ethics course is mandatory, but the rest I choose for myself. I am taking an online course on domestic abuse, which I thought would be very professionally worded, but it’s ridiculously un-clinical and written in the first person (by an utter idiot).
I am seriously going...

my mom watching sherlock when she saw the head in the fridge: looks like sherlock's giving john head for dinner tonight
Anonymous asked: "If it was the result of consciously rejecting the female experience, or the unconscious attempt to oppress it, I’d be more squicked—but it’s just plain, simple, untouched ignorance." So...what, exactly, makes you so certain of this?
Anonymous asked: If I have to see one more rant extolling Moffat's female characters as feminist icons, my skull is going to crack from the pressure. I've trudged through series 5 of Doctor Who, but it's an effort and I'm gleaning no enjoyment from it. I just want to make it past the Moffat era with some understanding of 'the story so far.' Amy's flagrant disrespect of Rory is...

(The big, flat, spinny kind that plays on a needle. Haha.)
Once I’m tipsy enough, I plan to troll, write, dance naked, drink more, burp, sob about Christmas, read smut, raid the cabinets, make out with the picture of Bowie on the cover of the record, write poetry, plot to quit my job, monitor-shop for sex toys I can never afford, get angry about something pointless, spam Madlori’s...

I should leave Tumblr and-

…Um. How embarrassing. After I’d just made this long post about how I don’t think Moffat’s work is sexist. Eh-heh.
To all the anons asking me about sex work, kink,...
I’m sorry, I just can’t answer these questions publicly. Not with the amount of detail you are looking for.
I assure you I’ll be confidential and respectful if you want to ask-box me de-annoned.

When I first dove into this community at the age of seventeen, I immediately ran into feminism’s most abrasive lesson: this is a movement where you will frequently be called out on some of the most fundamental assumptions...
