Quote of the day
"It’s entirely possible that thanks to Sherlock fanfic, someone who never before considered writing professionally might decide to give it a try.

I just need to say one thing: when a supposedly professional journalist believes it's perfectly alright to ask two actors to read a slash fic out loud in front of an audience - ridiculing and hurting the unsuspecting author while embarrassing the actors - maybe we should realize that things have escalated to a point where everything's considered fair game and nothing's enjoyable anymore. And a point like this scares me to death and deeply saddens me.
