Hello, I am Faline.
Not new to the fandom, I must say. Been there for almost 3 years, having been a Nancy Drew fan before reading Sherlock Holmes around 4 years ago! At this point I wouldn't call my myself a Sherlock 'fan' anymore as I've gotten bored of it (used to be manically obsessed with everything about it in unhealthy way). I could say I'm somewhat still obsessed with certain aspects of it. I just discovered this website now and am slightly fascinated with it I guess? Basically I used to read fanfiction excessively, watch meme videos, rewatch scenes repeatedly and act out as different characters in my room almost as if my life depends on it and at this point, I believe I've developed an inner Sherlock in me (minus the extreme intelligence and deduction skills). I've created my own stories (in my head) using ideas I've got from various fanfictions and other stuff I could come up with and I act them out aswell. You could say I am SHERLOCKED. I've never found a friend who is as obsessed as I am but would love to talk to someone here. And is it bad that I don't ship Johnlock, Mystrade, Mormor and all the other ships like I believe most fans do? Like, I wanted detective stories but instead got heartbroken that the show turnt out the way it did? Think people just loved the idea of what it could've been, instead of what it actually was. Anyways, I'm still learning how to use this website (hope I don't sound old). Glad I could introduce myself here :).
