Last week Sherlock began filming!

Let's do this then. #Sherlock #setlock pic.twitter.com/4Plp8qRdRc

Remember, things from the cast/crew are not necessarily setlock.  Although Amanda kindly marked her Tweet as such.  =twinkle=

(S2) Signaling.

And that was the signal!

I'd never noticed it before.  Jim scares me.  As well he should, he's a deeply scary man.  Not human; he left humanity behind long ago, wearing his body like unwanted clothes.

Allow me to backtrack.  I was rewatching a favorite fan video... it involves Reichenbach, so if any feels still bother you, you might want to skip the video itself.

All Tweets!

I was in Loo's feed tonight, and thought it'd be fun to post some spoilery Tweets (instead of Doctor Strange links, sorry).  I figured I'd start with a few that aren't spoilers -- then I changed my mind.  :b

Of course, if you follow Loo on Twitter, then you already know the gist of this spoiler.  :D

These are not masked.  If you click down the page, you've let yourself in.  Do not look unless you choose spoilerhood.

So...  You have been warned!  SPOILERS FOLLOW for the Special ep of s4.

Some are minor, some are definitely not minor.  

Team SH / the Special.

I had to start with the Legos.  Because they're -- as Arthur would say -- BRILLIANT.  So this is a bit of a grab bag.  Enjoy!

SPOILERS EXIST after this point:  you have been warned.

Pictures; one mild setlock.

Consider these images my birthday presents to you in Ben's name.  I know his birthday is 19-July -- happy birthday, proud new papa Benedict! -- but I'm not up on which new birthday charities are happening.  Alas.

You can always check the 2014 charities; some of them are ongoing.  Consider Batch of Kindness, for one...  And particularly ALS, as Ben's an ambassador for them and many many others!

Warning!  One setlock pic included from the 2015 Christmas special.  Not a major spoiler, but a nifty pic to be sure.

Random Tweets (of 'Punk).

Fannish Friday...

... Or, I have an eyeball.

Went to first day of Media*West yesterday.  This is a local fan-run con [ETA with their FAQ for your info], no guests, just fans.  It's lovely.

Panels on BBC Sherlock, tiny fandoms, audio goodies (run by my boyfriend -- about podcasts, BBC Radio 4, etc.), Benedict Cumberbatch, and also the Sherlock party.

At the latter we played Cards Against Humanity, the Sherlock version.  Much hilarity and rudeness!

The hostess at the party brought me a [lavender] tumbler of water that had an eyeball in it.  Which I got to keep.

Grab bag with My Dear Bessie love letters...

Because Twitter is the path to knowing learning things.  ;D

A cure for the hiatus -- go to another planet!

Grab bag: April cons, vids, etc.

Fan vids!  You've missed them, you know.  ;)

Moonmouse did two silly ones that I like.  It took several watches before I stopped cracking up, in fact.

TMBG via Moonmouse!  Particle Man (Sherlock BBC) and Birdhouse In Your Soul (Sherlock and John + They Might Be Giants).

In the s3 spoiler zone:  liar | Sherlock BBC by Katrin Depp; also expect feels.

Fan vids; I Love Speedy's fan vid; Hamlet sale Monday!

Sherlock / Moriarty - When You're Evil by Sandy Quan

S1 and s2 with possible feels alert.  I was just amused by the song, which is very appropriate.  :D

These Boots I Made From You (Jim Moriarty + "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'") by MoonMouse... who has done other fan vids that I love, such as the Particle Man (Sherlock BBC) and "Birdhouse in Your Soul" fan vids.

A lovely instrumental (s1) vid that I adore:  Your Love Is My Drug - Sherlock by Lemon Swordfish

I've posted the latter several times too.


Also, if you're in London tomorrow, join the Baker Street Babes for this project!  

Londoners! Come to @speedyscafe tomorrow from noon to help with our I <3 Speedy's fan video! http://t.co/xWPPV2ktsw

SH fandom petition; CP con and more!

Good things for Sherlock fandom and the fandot... or in the immortal words of the Firefly fandom:  Can't stop the signal.

First, a petition asking the BBC to put the Sherlock 2014 special ep on the big screen worldwide was started by German fans.

And there's a Cabin Pressure con in Berlin.

Wanna see how far this screening petition goes?

@ninja_CE I did this, German http://t.co/QCRUOcfiYx + @TRassmagik ->English http://t.co/af6vRnfU2w Many thanks for adding info to your blog!

Setlock: London wrap.

That's a London Wrap!! Thanks for being considerate with the filming #setlock - big love from the locations team.

Remember that random spoilers have been pretty serious for over a week:  be wary what you click on!

Short interruption:  BBC Cabin Pressure was named Best Comedy of the Year by the BGA.  :D

Many many congratulations to @JohnFinnemore for his trio of http://t.co/JRZumidCyW awards incl comedy of the year for #CabinPressure
— Cumberbatchweb (@cumberbatchweb) January 26, 2015

The BGA article about John's awards is here.  I'm afraid I don't know what the third award is for, and the Interweb doesn't seem to be updated on it.  Yet.

Happy NYE, dear fandom.

I feel like the set of #Sherlock would be the best place to murder and dismember someone without anyone suspecting a thing.
— Irene Adler (@The_Whip_Hand) December 29, 2014

Anyone primed for s4 setlock?  Yes?  No?  Maybe?

This is where bribing Anthea would be handy, you know.  Because it's not like Mycroft would let us watch CCTV footage.

But I get those pics from Twitter and tumblr, so they are from other fans, bravely hunting the wild setlock in its native habitat.

In lieu of fresh setlock, since filming is just under a week away...

Radio 4 loves you: Merry Christmas!

Did you miss any eps of Good Omens?  They're up on the BBC iPlayer for the next four weeks, unless they haven't aired yet.  In which case, they will be... soon.  8)

Films, 'cupcakes, and more!

Christmas cheer is already here for some fans.  :D  Want goodies?  Have a bunch!

News from Marvel and James Bond -- vids from Penguins and The Hobbit -- the Oscars and interviews... plus Cumbercupcakes.  Make sure you tip over the stocking and get everything out, now; it's pretty full.

On the first day of Christmas, my #Sherlock gave to me... pic.twitter.com/1TYLBMGlZX

Official news from Marvel:  Benedict will play Doctor Strange.

His Doctor Strange Cumbercupcake.  Check out People's "The 'Cumbercupcake' Exists" and THR's See Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston as Cupcakes if you haven't seen Pei's work yet.

Tribute to Cabin Pressure.

On Monday, 3-Nov-2014, I found out about this.  Alas, much too late to tell you before the project was done, but now you can enjoy what was done.

A year ago, the fans running the Cabin Pressure fan site decided to do a Thank You for Cabin Pressure project on tumblr.  The updates are here.

So I thought this would be a good thing for Thanksgiving.  Because we're thankful for CP, and knowing that other fans expressed how we all feel... is something to be thankful for.  Along with the cast of CP.

It is amazing, and may make you cry too.  (I'm all sniffly now!)

Missing from SH s3.

First, seasonal fan art from JM.

Halloween should mean more candy, but I wasn't able to blog that day.  Have some deleted scenes from s3 instead.  :D

Do avoid these vids if you haven't yet seen s3, definite spoilers inside!
