Into The Hive Mind: BBC’s ‘Sherlock’ And The Adventures Of The Fandom That Waited
In this very detailed and fantastic article about the Sherlock fandom by Christine Bancroft, we’re named some of the people to know in regards to the BBC show (which is flattering to say the least!). If you ever wanted to know anything about the BBC show’s fandom that we are proud to be a part of, definitely give this a read. Here are the parts where we’re mentioned in addition to our photo from the Believe In Sherlock campaign…
Good people to know: Writers, producers and directors, Arwel Wyn Jones, David Arnold and Michael Price, castmembers, Amanda Abbington, the Baker Street Babes
…
Also, you should know who Amanda Abbington is. Much beloved by fans (and lovingly referred to as “the queen” of the fandom, a title she absolutely deserves), she’s Martin Freeman’s equally sassy partner who seems very, very, somewhat suspiciously aware of fandom goings-on. Although she is no longer on Twitter, the fandom (at least, on Tumblr, as far as I know) is very appreciative her, even going so far as to create blogs dedicated solely to how awesome she is. She has given several interviews to the Baker Street Babes (BSBs), a small collection of some of the wittiest women I’ve ever heard, online or otherwise.
The BSBs run a podcast, appear at conventions and different events—plus, they talk about canon and Sherlockiania quite often, are all young and female and I just want to follow them everywhere and shower glitter and love and flowers onto them, because they do all this for free like I do, and spend time working on this because they genuinely love the fandom, and have done something rather impressive with a so-called “hobby”. They also have a Tumblr, a Twitter and a complete collection of their podcasts can be found on iTunes or listened to online.
