Darn it. I need a new fandom.

Darn it, I need a new fandom.

I'm watching Supernatural, Merlin, Castle, DWTS, Being Human, and reruns of SGA and SG-1. I'm not feeling fanficcy about any of them.

Any suggestions on fandoms? Fic recs to get me hooked? I miss fandom....

My current fannish obsession is BBC's Sherlock, a modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes, but I can't actually recommend it to anyone because this fandom literally dragged me in kicking and screaming and I hope to save others from my sad fate.

(Also, there are objectively really quite a few problems with the show, which is why I initially said "Meh, I liked it fine but won't do the fandom thing." AND THEN THE FANDOM GOT ME.)

Hah, I watched it and didn't expect to get fannish about it but your Sherlock stories were addicting (and I try to rec them to anyone expressing even the faintest interest in the show) and although I still read way more SGA than anything else now I also read (and have watched a few vids) in Sherlock. :)

Maud is an addictive writer. I consider her fic to be a controlled substance.

Very, very true!

There's a bunch of good Sherlock fic, and although the canon has issues it's also very appealing. If you do decide to plunge in, perhaps start here and here?

I tried BBC's Sherlock and couldn't get into it--can't figure out why--so it's a non-starter for me.

I can't see why it wouldn't grab me, really.
