1. Apparently if you track a post on DW, you won't get email notifications for comments left using OpenID. This perplexes me.

2. I'm not certain how to feel about Delicious now sending email notifications when you get a new subscriber. (I'm sorry, I don't even use Delicious anymore!)

Regarding my Pinboard, though, why am I following people who read nothing but Erik/Charles and Sherlock BBC fic? I have no interest in either. I confuse myself.

3. Speaking of Sherlock BBC, I need to go watch that. I enjoyed last season (if I'll allow myself to conveniently forget the blatant racism of episode 1.02) but I really have no interest in the fandom. I like adaptations (though I may be finicky about them*) but I think ACD's canon will always be closest to my heart.

*I hate the very idea of adaptations like "Pride, Prejudice & Zombies" but that might be more due to (1) my unending love for "Pride & Prejudice" as is (you are, of course, free to disagree) and (2) my irrational hatred of the zombie fad. I am uncool, I know it. Give me my Regency romances and let me dither!

this moving-to-another-platform thing perplexes me endlessly

zomg who are these people reading nothing but Erik/Charles and BBC Sherlock fic! LINK ME TO THEM, I roar in my sad state of disconnection from fandom.

well if you want to watch the latest episode you're going to have to gird your loins for some pretty epic gender fail, and especially so if you hold ACD's canon close to your heart. I enjoyed the episode, but there were definitely many things that I was unhappy with Moffat about.

and I totally sympathise with your hatred for adaptations or satires like P,P&Z, because I utterly loathe those "tongue-in-cheek" ones they did for Tolkien. talk about disrespect!!

Thanks for the warning! I will go into it forewarned/forearmed.

For lots of Erik/Charles and Sherlock fic, follow thehoyden and lazulisong on Pinboard.

:S I will go see for myself at some point, I guess! NGL while I liked last season, the rabid fanbase for it has made me slightly less enthusiastic about this season, lol. Just. I like it, but stp treating it like it's the second coming??? Over-hype can kill a lot of things.
