You can call me Lancaster! Or, Lanx, if you're feeling a bit lazy.

I'm a thirty-two year old dork who lives in Pennsylvania with one of my partners and our three cats. (We've also got a millipede. His name is Simon. He's a very good boy.) I have an alarming number of hobbies and interests, but I'm primarily into Sherlock, Doctor Who, Iron Lung (2026), casual gaming, writing, drawing, and I've recently taken up the acoustic guitar and lockpicking. I'm also planning to start my journey into urban exploration in the near future!

I'm a bit shy, but I like to think I'm pretty chill. Feel free to say hello, though I may struggle in one-on-one conversations at times. I never know how to keep them going, hah. It may be worth noting that I am autistic and that sometimes affects how I interact with others, and how frequently I do so. But, well... Sherlock fans in particular have always struck me as far more likely to be understanding of someone who's a bit odd. At least, compared to some other communities. (I mean, Sherlock is the way he is, and for better or worse, many of us are quite fond of that little goblin, right?)

I'm also an amateur fanfiction writer. (And I've got to say, writing stories for a fandom from a show that has concluded and that seems to consist of roughly ~100 people and a single potted plant that sits in the corner... can be quite an interesting experience. Wouldn't trade it for the world.)

I don't know how active I will be (life is life-ing and I am notoriously scatterbrained) but I'm happy to poke my head in and say hello all the same!

Lovely to meet you all. And have a happy Thursday, if you celebrate! 🥳

I am a recent convert to Sherlock Holmes after falling in love with the 1954 Ronald Howard series. I also love Charlie Chan, Mr. Wong and Mr. Moto. Looking forward to learning more.

But now, after all this time, I humbly (and properly) present to you: the person behind the screen of CSIBakerStreet.

You'll find I've changed a very great deal, that's the main reason to make a new and different account now. But also I'm not quite sure I can get back into the old even if I wanted to, so here we are. I've not forgotten this wonderful place or the fun I had, and by the way I never did thank you for putting up with my silliness and very intense obsession at the time ahahaha - so if you did, thank you so much. Hopefully I'll get to know many of you again, and to those I've never met to be able to make new friends!

Hello, there.  I am mostly here because of a love affair that I’ve been having with Disney’s  “The Great Mouse Mouse Detective” for years now.😁

My Best Regards,

Miss Irynne Alden

Please talk to me now if convenient. If not convenient, talk to me anyway. And yes, it could be dangerous. I am very passionate about my fandoms.

Fandom is killing me

The name's ND(my name will be public once I officially start my work as a consulting detective). thinking is what I enjoy the most in this tedious, dull world. Currently on the path of becoming a consulting detective, and I run a website: https://deducter.tumblr.com/ 

My other interests are mentioned in my profile, so, no, I'm not going to mention them here once more (that would be boring, obviously).

Go on and submit a case on my forum: https://deducter.freeforums.net/

 I'm eagerly waiting for a case, riddle, anything! (don't be boring though)

Laters!

Nice to meet you all!

My name is Tim and I am the Administrator and I would like to take the opportunity to welcome all members to the forum!

Likewise with the avatar pictures -- in some cases, what the heck is it, and in others, how did you come to choose it?

P.S. to the Admins: Since this thread is somewhat analogous to "How Did You Find Us?", I thought this forum would be the best place for it -- but on the other hand, this thread isn't at all analogous to the individual introductions that constitute the bulk of this forum. Am I overlooking a more appropriate locale?

Perhaps it would make sense to keep just "Hello Everybody And Welcome!" and the individual introductions in this forum -- and then put this thread and "How Did You Find Us?" into a new forum, where people could add other similar threads. (Failing that, or for the time being, maybe you could just pin this thread.) Thanks!

Hello everyone, my name is Dima, I'm 25, I love Sherlock very much. I hope for positive emotions in this forum

I discovered Sherlock Holmes when I was young. I read some books, but I re-descovered it in the cinema recently I want to come back to this world

Greating.

Another new fan here =). Was introduced to the BBC series by my sister and now I'm completely hooked. This forum seems so friendly and welcoming which I think all the mods should have cred for. 

I've understood that the forum gathers fans from all over the world and curious as I am I'd like to know more specifically where people are from. if there already is a thread for this then I'd love to be directed to it. And I'm from Sweden myself =)

Death might be a little extreme. Pride? I've always felt a little chagrined when I click on one of those ridiculous "news" articles that very clearly hooked me with the internet equivalent of a PT Barnum peanut pitch. "never click on clickbait when pride is on the line" just doesn't have the same effect does it? 

Now for the promised introduction - which I suppose makes me better than clickbait since those blasted things rarely deliver on their promises.

Hello! Longtime Holmesian, first time poster. I started reading Sherlock Holmes stories when I was about 9 - after I saw some of the Granada series on PBS. For me, few mystery stories can compete with those told by Dr. Watson. (I'm not a Doyalist; besides, who doesn't love the Great Game?) After finishing all of the original stories, I started to work my way through many of the pastiches and homages published over the years. Most recently, I found the Cthulhu Casebooks by James Lovegrove which tell three Sherlock stories through a Lovecraftian lens. I'm also a fan of several police procedural shows 🍍. 

Beyond Sherlock Holmes, I'm an avid science fiction fan (film, tv, and print) as well as the genre of good-bad movies that is as hard to quantify as they sometimes are to watch.

IRL I work in a children's library and read storytime to infants and toddlers - well, I did before COVID. Now, I mostly clean and sanitize things. 

Without going deeply into a tale of woe and anguish I haven't  posted for ages because I had a burglary and my iPad, phone and some other stuff was stolen; a family member was seriously ill ( on the mend now I think) and then a house fire. I must have done something in a previous life!

The good news is that I’ll be getting my iPad and phone back soon (although the phone is damaged) I’m using another phone. I’d have logged in a couple of weeks ago but I just couldn’t recall my password until I realised it was the same one I used elsewhere. 

It will take me a while to look around and catch up but I hope that everyone is happy and well?

I'm Jen, I'm 28.

I'm French ( sorry for my bad english 😄 ) 

I discovered Sherlock three weeks ago. I became a fan immediately 🥰   

I hope to find others fan here !
