Rainy... with a chance...

Rainy with a chance of Cumberbatch.



Fan art:  Sherlock Tim Burton style.  The shades, it's all about the shades.

Fans and filming August: Osage County in Oklahoma.  The Tulsa World's entire series on the film is here.

Martin Freeman: "The Hobbit is the biggest film I'll ever do".

Just the one spoilery moment from season 2's finale; see at your own risk!  One Final Act:  Reichenbach poster.


Until Halloween, you can get your questions for James Rhodes to Sherlock DE; they're interviewing James.

Crime Daggers!

Cumberbatched:  Smiling, very slightly disheveled.  Looking very very James Bond.  He is just O.o.  The lip bite.  Smooch from PBS Batch.  Nearly solemn -- what are you thinking, Benedict?

Sherlocked:  You are a genius poster.  Sherlock in museum in Blind Banker.


Benedict holding the Crime Daggers -- for Sherlock as Best Show, himself as Best Actor/Sherlock, and Martin as Best Supporting Actor/John Watson.  Well done, Team Sherlock!  Benedict making faces behind a dagger.

The highlights of the Crime Thriller Awards vid.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy also got the Film Dagger.  :)

Una, Benedict, and Lara at the Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards!  :D  Here's Benedict, Lara, Martin, and Una.

In case you're longing for series 3 even more, have a nice little discussion from the Sherlock candy blog by mkhey -- about burgling.

Holmes Boys fic: Mycroft and Sherlock.

I love this fic series over at SherlockCares.  If you read it, you'll see that the writer is very kind to me... :)

This is not slash.

It's family friendly... Anecdote:  One day at the doctor's, a little girl asked me to tell her a story -- with my head full of Sherlock, as usual! -- so I condensed #3 for her (she has littler siblings).

No spoilers as such, but ardent fans will notice shout-outs to BBC Sherlock throughout!


The Holmes Boys fic:

• Epiphany #1
• Try #2
• Philosopher #3
• Worry #4
• My Brother's #5
• Special Room #6
• Not My Area #7
• Christmas — Originally He Wanted To Be a Pirate

I'll add to this, but for when I'm not up to date, the "Holmes Boys" index link is also included above the story titles.  These are definitely Sherlock candy, my dears.  Do try it!

Pssst!  Caption of major win:  Sherlock's Binders Full of Women!!!

Short, from BC to LOTR. Plus audio candy!

From the Gent festival -- a really neato interview of Benedict.  I enjoyed it.  Hope you do also!

Benedict reading from Moby Dick, from Radio Times.

A fan's thoughts on Benedict Cumberbatch and fandom.  :D

Cumberbatched moment as Sherlock; how to waffle; advanced waffling.


A bit of LOTR art, brought to you by American politics.  (You can read the poster completely straight, mind you, but it's funnier when taken in context of 17-Oct-12.)

Cover illustration of The Hollywood Reporter:  The Hard Road to The Hobbit.  Plus a building that became a poster for The Hobbit!  Thanks to my Tweep Bell for these two!

Two charities: Team BC and Mark's birthday!

By the way, the last Palace to Palace total (that I saw) for Team BC was as follows:

Amount Raised:  £24,434.77

Benedict Cumberbatch:  £14,876.92
Team BC:  £7,115.08
Adam Ackland:  £2,442.77

That was as of 2.05 am 17-October-2012.  Well DONE!


And remember that today is Mark Gatiss's birthday!  Have you wished him happy yet?

Have you seen the birthday project for him?  Do please pass it along far and wide!

Mostly fan vids for rest of October...

It's Tweet diet time, so... fan vids.  I have lots I've been finding.

I have some thoughts about various tidbits I've noticed lately, but I may have to hold them in reserve.

Here's one:  When Sherlock fled in Blind Banker, he was reaching for John -- but either Sherlock realized John was not moving [my first guess], or, as a law-abiding military man, staying put for the oncoming cops.  Possibly both.

So Sherlock ran.  And John got the ASBO.

All season two, and therefore in the spoiler zone!

Today Team BC does Palace to Palace!

Cumberbatched moments:  Cheltenham a week ago.  Ideal boyfriend.  Cheers to your existence.  Do it again, Ben.  Many variations on Benedict Cumberbatch, i.e., a poster of his roles.

Fan shirt -- Cumberbatch/Sherlock.

The Cake at Cheltenham:  what kind and congrats.


If you hadn't seen Benedict's response to the donations for Palace to Palace tomorrow, here it is:

Wow!!. You are all amazing! We couldn't do what we are trying to do on Sunday without this. It's an amazing amount of money to raise for incredibly worthy cause. Adam and I can't thank you enough. We're really impressed and touched as the trust will be. Your generosity is well beyond the call of duty in these cash-strapped times. Onwards and upwards with still more coming in. Thank you thank you thank you! Benedict X

As of tonight, a few hours away from the cycle ride,  here's where they stand:

Goal: £20,000
Raised: £23,616

GO US, go fandom, go Adam and Benedict -- go Team BC!!!

The video of Team BC training is here.

I expect Twitter to be busy in a few minutes, as the UK is waking up and I'm fairly certain the cycling starts in maybe a half hour.  :D  No, really.
