MWAH.

I have to laugh whenever one of these "YOU ARE DOING FANDOM WRONG" essays comes along. I was fairly insulated in SG-1 fandom so I didn't see much of that there (ah, yahoogroups), but in DW fandom there was plenty. And then there's this.

Debate about Sherlock Holmes' sexuality = doing fandom wrong

Now I don't care if you think Sherlock Holmes is asexual or the biggest player on the planet. Whether you think that Holmes and Watson are just companions or are shagging like bunnies. That's not mockable. What is is the "YOU MUST DO [insert whatever here] IN ORDER TO DO FANDOM RIGHT."

Also the fact that whenever someone reblogs some Sherlock shipping on tumblr, a puppy dies. (That...could be true. Tumblr is evil and this could be one of its many evil aspects.) So remember, people. To fully enjoy Sherlock Holmes you must bow to ACD canon and keep in mind that the Doctor doesn't love his Companions like that.
