Here have a gif to make up for my long, pointless, rambly post:
Okay I'm going to admit right now that I... am procrastinating on my reading. I'm going in publish order and am in the beginning of "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-nez" in The Return. I really need to get cracking if I want to get through Hound before series two, but damnit, I just don't want the ride to be over, okay? :c Because there's never going to BE any more and I'm really enjoying it and the longer I drag it out the longer the party continues, is how I see it. So I'm sorry, but I'm not at all one to preach about "you should read the source material" because... well. I haven't, entirely.
I mean, definitely do, reading is awesome, and so far it's GREATLY increased my enjoyment of the show and put a massive strain on my love of Ritchie's monster but it's hypocritical of me to say so. :ccc
Arizona, I... do have to disagree with your assessment that "Sherlockian" is an earned title, like a badge you get when you've read the source material. I do feel that there should be some distinction between your aptly called "New!lockians" and those of you who've been around for as long as it's possible to have been with the novels and stories, but I... Gnuh, idk brah. Definite respect for our Sherlockian seniors (I mean those with seniority, not old people, but it's cool that there ARE old people in the fandom because THAT'S ******** POSSIBLE and AW YEAH, but now I'm off track)
Anyway, it seems to me that it was written to be enjoyed by ALL, which it very much was, and those who have read the source material get just that much more enjoyment out of it. I feel like your Harry Potter analogy was a bit harsh in that regard, because the books were all written in a series, where this is... definitely not the same in a number of ways. It's an homage, is maybe the word? I don't know how do English work, don't mind me.
Also I'm going to suggest Kitteh download Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes BEFORE she goes on any literary adventures with our boys, because, well. I want her to be able to enjoy that and have her Adler fantasies fulfilled BEFORE, uh, yeah. If I speak any more on that subject it'll be in the sneakiest of whitetext so not very sneaky at all anymore. I kind of actually think I'm a little bit alone in feeling wronged by that movie now that I know the truth, um. /crazy
Also @Kitteh: I BET that was going on! My feelings on the Old Who and the Holmes stories and novels is that you don't NEED them to enjoy the new s**t; it'd be NICE to have them, and good on you if you do, you've got that much more to go on; but there's just SO MUCH. Four novels and 56 short stories, or however many ******** episodes of Old Who there were, a ********, that's how many. You just can't expect people to go back and watch/read all that as a prerequisite for "proper" fandom! That's just elitism, if you ask me, and I see it all the time with bands and everything. Don't be a fandom hipster. It's cool that you liked it before it was "cool" and I respect your dedication but that doesn't make everyone's love for this cool new thing any less legitimate. :c
That came out kind of rude sounding, I'm sorry. ;c
Anyway, YAY NEW PEOPLE! I was enjoying the tiny three person party but this is much nicer. I knew we couldn't be the only ones on this whole damn site! :''D
I just checked, it's still there. It's important to remember the importance of details. The things that really matter might seem the most mundane; for instance, the supposedly garish pattern of a wallpaper may, in fact, be a vital clue. c:
And now a gif for the laydehs (and those who swing for Benedict):
Also for the laydehs and loving Benaddicts is the gif in my signature, which only one person has recognized so far, c'mon, those hands.

- Ah, don't mind me. I'm just a really bitchy purist. And I was at work while writing that post (grey text = work computer = oh ********, bitchmode activate ) so it's easy to come off as harsh. I started off in 1997 with the books, Brett, and that old DIC series, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century. (Holmes and Watson were my first pairing. I REGRET NOTHING.)
Shirtless!Benedict.gif is totally my peace offering. :u
God damn, how is he so oddly built but insanely attractive at the same time.

Butt gifs? omg share. set the link text size to 0, NOBODY WILL SUSPECT ANYTHING.
It was. It was awesome. Fox cancelled it when I was ten and I was completely heartbroken. Watson was a police android, Lestrade was a woman, the cars flew, it got a daytime Emmy for the use of CG animation alongside traditional animation, Sherlock was blonde and he's probably the source for my fascination for men with sideburns... and no matter how hard I try, I STILL CAN'T GET THE THEME TUNE OUT OF MY HEAD.
