Hi all! I’m writing a paper for “Sherlock Holmes: Past and Present,” an academic conference being held next month in London. http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/ies-events/conferences/SherlockHolmes
Anyhoo, I’m writing about slash in the fandom and would love to include some data from you, the fans! Whether you’re a part of the Cumber-Collective or an old school canon fan, a slasher or not, I want to hear from you! I’m interested in answering questions about gender, sexuality, characterization, fan culture, and more. Hopefully, the answers you give me can help paint a broader picture of the appeal of slash fanfiction and fanworks.
I’ve created a short survey- it’s 10 questions, anonymous, and shouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes. If you have more to say and would like to be interviewed, or have any questions, send me a message!
Thanks everyone! :”)

P.S. Reblog please! I’m trying to get as many responses as possible. Thanks so much to everyone who has already taken it. Jumpers, jam, and crime scenes for you all!
“My mind,” he said, “rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession,—or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world.”
“You’ll come with me to-night?”
“When you like and where you like.”from The Adventure of the Empty House (1903) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Holmes: In a few minutes, you will say it is all so absurdly simple.
Watson: I should say nothing of the kind.
Your mind. It’s so placid. Straightforward. Barely used. Mine’s like an engine, racing out of control. A rocket, tearing itself to pieces trapped on the launch pad. I need a case!

Idk why it took me so long to find this ^ out.
A.C. Doyle, you clever bastard, you.
I was a walking/talking fandom today…
no regrets.
Also you can’t see the amazing-awesomesauce of my nails really well, but they’re the Sherlock Holmes Nail Decals by Inspired Nails on Etsy
AND THEY’RE GREAT.

My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.

I feel like one touch would shatter you, except I know first hand how strong you are.
