Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character I would shag anytime
7. The character I'd want to be like
8. The character I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

Reply or I'll feel unloved!



I'd so slap Alan. And he'd like it.

Hahahaha, I love your icon.

I think I can do Holmes, but it'll be interesting, because I first read the books in second grade and I haven't really been doing much in the fandom lately.

1. The first character I first fell in love with
Holmes. This has to be true of everyone in the fandom. I think I read A Study in Scarlet first, and the scene where he and Watson meet is so memorable. He's all secluded in the chem lab (right, I'm sure Conan Doyle called it that) and jumping around because he discovered some obscure chemical having to do with bloodstains.

And I love his arrogance (because arrogance is so logical! modesty is just lying about one's abilities!) and his fierce devotion to Watson and the scene where he straightens the bent poker in...I think it's "The Speckled Band." And he delivers some great insults.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Probably Watson. Since I read the books when I was younger, I always thought of him as the sidekick (which, you know, he is) and kinda dumb and slow on the uptake. This is probably influenced to some extent by House where I love and adore Wilson, the Watson-like character, but now I admire his loyalty and the fact that he can recognize what a genius Holmes is and stand by him.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
Hmmm. Is there a universally beloved character in Holmes fandom? I mean, besides Holmes. I can't think of anyone.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates
I like some weird characters, but I don't know if they're hated. I like Mycroft. I like the irregulars. Maybe if I reread the novels I could come up with a client I like, but...Oh, I like Moriarty, but more for the fanfic possibilities, not for who he is.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
Can't think of anyone. There's so much love in this fandom! Clearly!

6. The character I would shag anytime
Holmes.

7. The character I'd want to be like
Holmes again. Not that I don't appreciate Watson's good qualities, but I'd rather be a crazy mad genius who works out of his study and does cocaine than a doctor.

8. The character I'd slap
Watson. Oh, probably both of them, at various points.

9. A pairing that I love
Well, I'd love to see Holmes/Moriarty. The idea of pairing Holmes with anyone is kind of ridiculous, but...

10. A pairing that I despise

I don't despise it, but I'm not a fan of Holmes/Mary Russell. I hate all the novels that pair him with some random woman who was the sekrit love of his life (I read one where they not only had that, she turned out to be his sister).

And that's all. See below for BL ;)

As for Alan and slapping, I dunno when you started watching, but back on The Practice the mother of one of his clients actually did slap him, made to slap him again, and he said, "Nobody slaps me twice. At least not in the face."
