Unlocked Con: free. :)

You can't make the Sherlocked con?  Nor can I.  Which applies to most of fandom, I expect.

But tumblr's Final Problem is hosting a free online party that same weekend, April 24-26.  You can still hang out with fellow fans at Unlocked: The Unofficial Sherlock PJ Party!

This is for ALL Sherlock fans anywhere.

#AskSmaug and Cumbercupcakes!

Don't forget to join us for live Twitter Q&As w/ Benedict Cumberbatch & @TheRealLukevans today! #AskSmaug in an hour! pic.twitter.com/caWnSunUtF

Thanks for the #AskSmaug transcript -- via this Tweet!

Immortal words: "Get to work on that, internet."

And they were written by none other than Benedict Cumberbatch himself.

I kid you not.  Go thee and look up his Reddit AMA chat; here's the synopsis at Geekiary.  Expect to find plenty of sass and also his trademark intelligence.

Yes, the little picture really says:  "Hi Reddit! Ask me... anything...?!? X"

I made the picture extra large so you could read that, but just in case you cannot, it's deliberate.  8)

Meetups, Loo, BC; Martin and Amanda!

Chicago meetup for Sherlock fans in July!

Seattle is planning a Sherlock 2 screening/mini-convention!  Note that they haven't set a date yet, and want help with that.  :)


Sherlock's Louise Brealey - "I'd write a shocking kiss for Molly and Sherlock; note that this comes from her recent live webchat.  Thanks to the Baker Street Babes for these three links!

Cute Benedict as Sherlock pic [but not anything I've seen in eps, mind you], and another Sherlock poster from the fantastic alicexz: I don't get nearly enough credit...

Martin Freeman will be at Comic-Con!  Here's The Hobbit panel info for 14-July, per Sherlockology. If you haven't submitted anything to the Martin Freeman project, it hasn't got to be a video, and the info is here at the project site.  Deadline is 31-July-12.


And if you can move fast, there's also the Amanda Abbington Project for Martin's lovely wife.  You have until 3-July at 5pm, UK time.  Check for the limitations on other dates.

ETA:  More pics via @JohnHWMD.  Sherlock from Scandal [not spoilery]; and 'toons of My Favorite Text Part 1 and Part 2. -- Sorry, forgot to enter these!

Drama and pics. Also Semifinals.

Benedict pics from friends: Tell me please and Dreamybatch and green-eyed Benedict looking down.


Through Kelsey's tumblr, I found the music profiles for Cheltenham, and Benedict's is at the top. :)

Baker Street Babes asks us this and shows the not-show's image as well.


A live webchat tomorrow from 12.30-1.30 pm [but time zone unknown!!] with Louise Brealey, our Molly Hooper!  If you head over to Radio Times, you can leave a comment now too.  Loo's playing at London's Royal Court Theatre through 4-August.

Speaking of drama, the fine gentleman who writes the BBC Sherlock blogs for John, Molly, and Sherlock, is at the Off Cut Festival. And Benedict talks briefly about playing Hamlet.


Spoilers for season/series 2:  A Sherlock poster called very sincerely.



A break from our usual programming: Coldplay video combined with a UK petition. Do check it out and RT!

So here's back when BC's race against DT wasn't so awful.  But yesterday poor Benedict was at 62% and winning over Martin, and now that lead's dropping.  Anglo FF is trying to make us all crazy. :/ Will Martin beat Benedict or the reverse? I think Anglo FF has a bit of a soft spot for Benedict, since his pic's largest and arranged in the foreground.  We'll see! 

Do note that we have extra time: The semifinals round closes Thursday, July 5 at 11 am ET.
