Beware, s4 spoilers below! and thus links only.

I have created new tags for eps 1-3: Thatchers, TLD, TFP.

If you haven't seen the show yet, stop reading now.  I mask spoilers, as always -- and later on, I'll post the setlock I meant to wrap up with.  But this is the SPOILER ZONE.  Watch your step!

These words from Steven Moffat last Thursday at the #Sherlock BFI screening had us cheering

Note that Sherlockology has spoiler-free s4 reviews that may screw up your watching any ep the first time (ep 1 and ep 3, but not ep2) and so I do NOT RECOMMEND that you read those either. Just go watch s4 first.

April: mixed bag.

A variety of stuff today -- from speculation on s4 (thanks, Final Problem!) and the 2016 Special ep to Twitter and a fic.  And Mark's award!

Fic written by A Study in Punk, one of the very best Sherlock RP players on Twitter:  "Deus Ex Machina" -- not what you think.

AND Mark won an Olivier!

Final Problem gives you her spoiler policy, which is pretty thorough -- and describes how to block tags on tumblr.  And since that's possibly why you're here, for spoilers...

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.

Remember Letters Live?  Not only is Letters Live back -- and with Dear Bessie again too -- but Sunny March promises to tape it for us.

Per the Guardian, "Letters Live takes place from 31 March to 4 April and will raise money for literacy charities the Reading Agency, First Story and Ministry of Stories."

Safelock, then setlock.

Radio Times offers us the Sherlock's Louise Brealey and Beryl Vertue on 'kind, well-informed and considerate' Setlock fans vid (same vid embedded in post).

Huge thanks to @louisebrealey and @BVertue for kind words about #Setlock and Sherlock fans. This is why we love you and the show so much
— Ruther (@Ruther2) February 3, 2015

Next dose of setlock.

Steven Moffat on Setlock: “We’re all genuinely very appreciative that people love our show so much” at Radio Times.

Moff talks about setlock fans without rancor -- remember that it was not Team Sherlock saying it ought to be stopped. It was news outlets:  Plain and simple fanbaiting by news outlets.  They wanted our attention.

Another article on Setlock but this time by Sherlock fans. http://t.co/2Almt4ZqZ6

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)

Zurich and Good Omens!

In case you didn't know, Cabin Pressure's finale Zurich is nigh.  As in mere days away.

Are you ready for Cabin Pressure to land before Christmas 2014?

BBC Radio 4 will air Zurich part 1 on Tuesday 23rd and Zurich part 2 on Wednesday 24th December, at 6.30pm GMT.

(Pssst, if you can't get the BBC iPlayer to work, try the tumblr sites in this post.)

Contests: Anglo FF and RT.

Team Sherlock was sweeping the female Anglo Fan Favorites -- almost!  Una and Loo won their bouts in Round 1, but Lara didn't.

Loo is just behind in her match this time around.

Una is against Helen, so I'm afraid the uneven match will be her undoing.  8(

This round of Anglo Fan Faves ends Friday on 12-December 11am ET.  But--!
In case Anglo Fan Faves' Round 2 wasn't enough... get yourselves ready.

There's another contest.

S4, Una, a fan vid; Anglo FF.

Reasons why we love Una Stubbs -- tumblr user jennylevey would like to send Una a collection of these.  Do reblog, I pray you!


Your Love Is My Drug - Sherlock by Lemon Swordfish

One of my favorite instrumental fan vids, all s1.  It's lovely.  I could listen to it for hours (and sometimes do).


Both Ben and Martin got swept out of Anglo Fan Faves.  (So did Tom Hiddleston, which is a bit shocking.  Loki lost to the Doctor!)  I suspect the actors who were cheering their fans on got more than a little boost.  I don't recall that happening before.

So if you're still voting, Thorin's against the Tenth Doctor, while the Outlander is crushing Merlin.  I feel this is fitting, since Smaug should've won, clearly.  ;b

Snapshot of Anglo Fan Faves, Women 2014, which starts 1-Dec-14.  Note that Lara, Loo, and Una are all in again this time around!  But... Amanda isn't.


If you haven't seen all of s3 yet, avoid this.  Possible s4 spoilers -- and just as likely, Mark just messing with us.  Like he and Steven tend to do.  :D

Two fan vids; shipping in OED--!

I haven't posted a fan vid in forever, seems like.

Feels for s3, s2, and s1... also spoilers, if you haven't seen all of s3 yet.  I'm thinking you probably have, but just in case, treat both vids as spoilers!

Saturday is Ben's birthday...

And I won't be online.

So if you are -- and I'm hoping you are for a bit -- please make sure to check out all the charities sponsored in Ben's name.

Batch of Kindness is on 19-July in particular because Ben asked us to share with others.  The Cumbercollective is definitely stepping up to the plate as requested; we have a brilliant and generous fandom.

Sadly I have to share my Emmy nomination with @michael__price who is equally responsible for the nominated noise made. #Sherlockmusic
