I can sooooooo see her and Sherlock making arrangements for that in front of John while John goes "Hellooooo? I'm here! You don't talk about me like that. Not while I'm in the room, anyway"....

Oh, do I have to choose? *sigh* In no particular order... John Hart (Torchwood) Spike (Buffy) Willow (Buffy) Ianto Jones (Torchwood) Rodney McKay (Stargate) Daniel Jackson (Stargate) Teal'c (Stargate) Duncan McLeod (Highlander) (I watched the series before the movies...) Spock (Star Trek) Data (Star Trek) Ezri Dax (Star Trek) About a gazillion more characters, and I have purposefully stayed away from Lost...

Welcome!

It clicked the other day that Sherlock in the sheet in Scandal in Belgravia is the modern day equivalent of Sherlock in his dressing gown all day. Back in Victorian days, not being dressed up at the appropriate times of the day was entirely unthinkable. We've sort of moved away from that and staying at home in your pyjamas is sort of not-so-frowned-upon, so that wouldn't have worked so well. But the whole idea of Sherlock refusing to even put a dressing gown on and just wrapping himself in a sheet gives the same kind of feeling the ever-present dressing gown would have given to Victorian readers...

I did notice the little tidbits, and yeah, I find John very interesting. I think that is one of the reasons why I haven't written fanfic in this fandom yet: the most interesting character for me is John, and in order to show him, I would have to write him through someone else's eyes, probably Sherlock's, and I just can't get into Sherlock's head. But I ramble. I think you and Mycroft are right. John seems to be able to handle anything that puts him under pressure, any danger that comes his way, a lot more easily than normal life. In a way, that is something that John and Sherlock have in common, I think: neither of them handles boredom and normality, they just have different thresholds.

We're always open to new ideas The forum is intended to be inclusive and interesting for everybody, so ideas are always welcome!

Yay! Suggestions! As you can see, a thread has been created here for the beta readers to advertise! Regarding character discussions, there is a Characters section here, under BBC Sherlock. For similar discussions on other versions, or of characters in general, feel free to start threads in the relevant sections, they can always be moved to their own sub-sections when they get busy!

We do our shopping online. Saves a lot of money by removing the "ooooooh, we'll have that as well" moments, and saves having to deal with supermarkets at all

That marathon sounds like a good plan!

T?

L?

Sorry Mrs. Hudson, I'm afraid we ate them all...

I love the coat! I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't waaaaaaaaaait!

Castle! (sorry, but he's hilarious...) Castle or Buffy?

*walks back in with plate of cheese scones* I knew there were some somewhere!

Is there anything he's not been in recently?

Sherlock! Sherlock or Highlander (the series)?

I can't see that being particularly conducive to good focus. Not on the violin, anyway LOL

Ahm, yeah, I think I have seen it... Vague memories, but yeah, I seem to recall

I knew sooner or later you would join us! *insert evil laughter here*

Has anybody seen the scones? There should be scones around at this time of the day...

I've not seen it, but I'm intrigued. More about seeing Gareth David-Lloyd take on Watson than about the rest, I guess

Oooooh shiny things! Dangerous for the budget...

So that's why it looked like Benedict knew how to hold a violin! Love it when shows make the effort to get things like this right!
