Angst-free Sherlock fanfiction by muffinpoodle on tumblr.

This post is NOT FROM ME, so go see it on muffinpoodle's tumblr to comment!

For gingerhaole, who asked if I knew of any Johnlock that wasn’t full of the dark-and-sads. I went looking. I am still looking, but here’s the 30 I’ve uncovered so far! (I found the vast majority trawling the kink meme, so it’s mostly porn - but never terribly kinky porn.)

Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch discover Sherlock fanfiction

The series has inspired cultish devotion that easily outstrips its short first run. Hardcore Sherlock fans have taken to sites such as Tumblr in order to imagine what Holmes and Watson might get up to once the deduction is done for the day. Cue much nervous giggling between Freeman and Cumberbatch. “There is weird fan fiction out there — weird,” Cumberbatch says. “They write stories and do manga cartoons of what they think you get up to behind closed doors. Some of it’s funny. Some of it’s full-on sex. Get Martin to show you some.”

“Much as Sherlock adores John, and he’s fond of him, there’s no love, there’s nothing sexual — all the jokes aside,” Cumberbatch says. “The problem is, they [the jokes in the script] fuel the fantasy of the few into flames for the many. People presume that’s what it is, but it’s not.”

 “If you want to think that they’re secretly in love with each other, then you can,” Freeman says. “But we’ve never played anything like that. I don’t really think they are, but there’s enough of that for people to see it if they want. I think they’re just really interested in each other because they give something to the other that is lacking in their life.” And that, surely, is what friends are for.

Guerilla Marketing Campaign “Believe in Sherlock”: the origins


Those are only quotes from the original article, that can be found here.

"
After the third and final episode of the second season aired, the fandom found itself facing another cliffhanger (of sorts) and another long hiatus, with new episodes planned for early 2013 at soonest. They took to the internet in droves immediately after the airing of “The Reichenbach Fall” (based on the Doyle story “The Final Problem”), an emotionally intense piece of television which inspired equally strong reactions. Among them, Tumblr user earlfoolish made a post “in character” for the story’s universe and then suggested the idea of a guerrilla campaign, inspired by a DIY marketing endeavor by artist Amanda Palmer and the 1950s “Frodo Lives!” campaign: 

Imagine being a Sherlock fan in the show universe. You’ve been following John’s blog, stalking Sherlock a bit at crime scenes, try to be within earshot so you can hear him do his deductions. You’ve got cutouts from the papers. Then the news reach[es] you. What do you do?… I would like to propose [a] tribute campaign, to show our love and support. Yes, in real life. We put ourselves in the mindset of the in-show fans…
The media has just taken notice as well, lead by the British press and The Daily Leicester newspaper website, who’ve posted an article on the phenomenon.
If you’d like to learn more or participate in the movement yourself, the primary hub of activity is Tumblr, via the “Believe in Sherlock” tag and the Believe in Sherlock blog dedicated specifically to keeping up with the fan campaign. There are a variety of downloadable flyer designs for those who want an easy alternative to designing their own (or resorting to illegal graffiti). There is also a QR code that will display “I believe in Sherlock Holmes” for posting on or offline or adding to your designs. You can participate through Twitter by using the #BelieveInSherlock hashtag, or Facebook communities (the largest located here).

It’s worth noting that there’s something extra special about this campaign, whether you’re a fan of the show or not. The BBC has done some viral marketing for Sherlock, but limited in scope to the blog John uses to talk about his escapades with Sherlock. While guerrilla style marketing campaigns set in the alternate universe of the fictional work are not unheard of (e.g. 42E’s Flynn Lives ARG for Tron: Legacy), to my knowledge a campaign which is fan-initiated, designed, and executed is essentially unprecedented. To date, it’s not clear if the production or the BBC are even aware of it. Series 2 has yet to air in many countries, including the United States (it will be airing as part of Masterpiece Theater on PBS in May), so if the momentum keeps up, you’re likely to start spotting slogans in the wild in your area soon. 

This campaign is something to watch; the sky is the limit and all it takes is a handful of creative and dedicated fans to take it to the next level.

CBS Casts Lucy Liu as Watson.

See article here.

All right, at least they’re putting some apparent effort in it, so I will watch the first episode of Elementary. But CBS is playing kamikaze there, “Sherlock” ruined most kinda nice shows I’ve seen before by its brilliance, so they’ll have to do at least an EXCELLENT job to survive. And if they involve female Liu!Watson and Sherlock in some kind of a lover’s relashionship (they will), I’ll draw a yellow smiley face on them and shoot.
I’m in for a platonic-frienship with no sexual tension intended between them though, ‘cause that would be an actual pledge for female/male friendship. And Liu should marry a Mary. That’d be cool.

Fan reactions to that choice are mixed up, so I'll just interview Tumblr for that.
Tumblr: America needs to stop being racist and sexist, pay more attention to women and PoC ok
CBS:
Hey guys guess what we decided Watson should be played by a Taiwanese, female actress in our version of Sherlock Holmes
Tumblr:
NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT HOW DARE YOU I AM BOYCOTTING YOUR SHOW I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED

You can say no by signing the online petition or donating > here.

"Undershaw in Hindhead, Surrey, United Kingdom, is the former residence of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his family. A fine example of  late Victorian architecture, it was built in 1897 in an era when few houses were actually designed by the occupier."

Sherlock Forum - Share and Role-Play

Here's the link.

I've read many comments about Sherlockians raiding omegle in hope to find a Sherlock role-play, so I've created a forum where that will be possible without invading the rest of the Internet.
