Hello everyone, my name is Sophie. I became a Sherlock fan relatively recently, when my English teacher showed the class two episodes of Sherlock, one before Christmas and one before the summer holidays. She first showed us A Study In Pink and I watched The Blind Banker soon after, but with Christmas I forgot. However, she showed us The Hounds of Baskerville and the next day I went on music tour. Spending 25+ hours on a coach combined over five days, and we were allowed our phones. I finished Sherlock within 3 or 4 days and on the way back rewatched up to The Hounds of Baskerville with a friend (well more like 4-5 of them). And the obsession fully started. After we'd watched the series, the class group chat became Sherlock related for a day, but I was the only one continuing and did get teased over that. (People were shipping me with Sherlock, and I'm aromantic so that's a problem etc.) But this didn't stop me and now I check the news every day for news of Series 5, I listen to conspiracies (not part of them, just find it interesting) and read probably too much fanfiction. I also write some. I have had obsessions in the past, and it is true that I can catergorise my life by obsessions - Harry Potter from the age of 7 to 10, Minecraft and HP from 10 to 13 and Sherlock currently. And I know 3 people who also watch, and they like it too, but idk if they are obsessed to the same level as I am. I DRINK COFFEE LIKE SHERLOCK for goodness sake! And I pretty much breathe oxygen and Sherlock at this point. I rewatch episodes to the point of insanity, I can quote whole scenes, and then I realise it's only been EIGHT TO NINE WEEKS since I got into the fandom. It genuinely feels like years. I wish I had known about Sherlock sooner (I am only 13) and my mum just casually mentioned that she used to watch it when she knows that's the sort of content I love but oh well. I dream of Series 5, I dream of Johnlock and I want to know that more people who love Sherlock still exist.
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
