Name/nickname: Steph
Age: I'll be 26 in about 2 1/2 weeks :D
Location: London, UK
How you got into Sherlock: Obsessed with Sherlock Holmes since I was about 9/10, joined the Sherlock Holmes Society as soon as I moved to London when I was 18. Was very excited/scared when they announced 'Sherlock' and am very glad that it turned out to be awesome :D
Other adaptations you enjoy: Big fan of the Russian!Holmes series - I think Vasily Livanov is tied with Clive Merrison as my favourite Holmes. I really enjoyed 'The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes' when I first saw it when I was about 12 and I have soft spot for Nigel Bruce's Watson (I maintain that the best on screen version of 'The Musgrave Ritual' was done by Bruce/Rathbone).
Favourite Sherlock character(s)/pairing(s): Without a question, Mycroft :) I don't have a favourite pairing, Anthea/Molly makes me happy.
A prompt you'd like to see filled: Oh. Er... I prompted that Moriarty was an actor and that it was all a test of Mycroft's loyalty. Sherlock worked it out but couldn't tell Mycroft. Following Sherlock's 'death', all is revealed and his loyalty is 100% without question. Sherlock returns and they work together to bring down Mycroft's 'masters'.
Favourite episode and why: oooh...tie between 'A Study in Pink' and 'Scandal in Belgravia' - I like the way they made the update work and I really liked Irene Adler (no I do not think she was working for Moriarty, remember, he's a consulting criminal...she consulted him). I also like the interplay between everyone in those stories, particularly between Mycroft & Sherlock.
Things you enjoy in fics: I quite like 'normality', you know, every day stuff...and humour. A character trying their best to have a cup of coffee whilst everything around them is trying to stop them having that five minute sit down...that sort of thing :))
Other fandoms: Not particularly active in but I've written some 'Grey's Anatomy' fanfic (my guilty pleasure :P) and I'm a huge fan of 'The Thick of It'.
Non-fandom interests: Theatre, photography, guinea pigs, films, gaming
Five random facts about you: I've had tea at the House of Lords, been to tea & a show at the Magic Circle, worked with Michael Crawford, I used to live off Baker Street...er....I once walked from the Lyceum Theatre to Upper Norwood with my friend following the route in SIGN using 19th century maps.
Something you'd like to do this year: finally pull it together and submit something to the Sherlock Holmes Society Journal. Oh, and lose weight but to be honest, I'm with Mycroft on this - I detest legwork :P
Anything else: I talk about my job a bit on my journal, which I understand is quite boring but I promise it's not all boring...honest :)

Hi! I remember your prompt, I think it could turn into a really interesting story. I hope it gets a fill. :)

I loved Irene, too, and "Scandal" is also one of my favourite episodes. :D

I once walked from the Lyceum Theatre to Upper Norwood with my friend following the route in SIGN using 19th century maps.

That is totally awesome.

We seem to have a few interest and friends in common, so - wanna be friends?

I have friended you :)

I'll see if I can find the post I made because despite the major foot ache the next day, it was a very fun day. Lots of random photographs!

My post was super-exciting, (basically - "my feet hurt")

But this is the post my co-walker made about our journey:

Hey there!

I am not so sure we have that many things in common, BUT! I live in London too! And I am 27! We are both Sherlockians, it sounds like a match to me?
*puppy eyes*

Yeah! I love Mycroft too! Wanna be friends and discuss Mycroft?
Not enough stories of Mycroft in fandom where he isn't sleeping with someone. I'd like to see Mycroft character study

Absolutely :)

There needs to be more Mycroft fluff where he's just him :D
