Haha, you know what I just found out?
On Ao3, there are over 18000 fanfics in the Doctor Who fandom.
In the Sherlock fandom, we recently hit 41000 fics and the number is growing and growing and growing.
I just find that amazing. I think that Doctor Who and Sherlock have a lot in common because they both have history; different stories and different portrayals in both. But there's something about Sherlock, despite everything that has a kind of simplicity to it. Maybe it's because the characterisation is so flexible; you feel there's more than one way of interpreting the characters. Or maybe it's because in Sherlock, there's something for everyone. There's room for everyone and everything and we all get along.
Yay. :) I mean, I'm a bit Whovian at the moment, for obvious reasons - and I've spent my Saturday night watching Doctor Who episodes on BBC3. But still, yay for the Holmes crew!
In other news, I think I've just about given up on Atlantis.
