The Sherlock Mega-Watchalong Weekend is underway!
We’re watching all of Sherlock four times in a row*, and chatting about it in The Giant Chat of Sumatra.
Anyone is welcome to join—just grab your copy of the episodes, and check the schedule to find out when to start playing the next episode in the marathon. There’s also a timer for each episode in the schedule, so if you come in late you can fast-forward to the same part everyone else is at.
Since the Mega-Watchalong goes on for a very long time and through all hours of the day and night, there may not be anyone else in the chat room some of the time. Feel free to drag your friends in, or just wander in and out and meet new friends who happen to be online when you are. Have fun!

* Important note: You should not actually watch all the episodes on the schedule. Please take breaks to eat, sleep, go outside, etc.
“He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson.”
—The Final Problem
He began by taking a clean white cloth from a drawer and laying it over the table. Then he placed his newly acquired bust in the centre of the cloth. Finally, he picked up his hunting-crop and struck Napoleon a sharp blow on the top of the head. The figure broke into fragments…
—The Adventure of the Six Napoleons
So this is the part where I admit that for a while now, my brain has been mashing up these two bits.
And it turns it into a vision of an old comic book cover with a needlessly musclebound action hero version of Holmes saying, “He’s the Napoleon of crime—and you know what I do with Napoleons,” as he dramatically smashes a bust.
Yeah.
Guess you had to be there.

My entry for the letsdrawsherlock challenge! Can I honestly say that I’m actually happy and proud of this? I really had fun making this, and I just had to change the name of the magazine ahaha
so how is Sherlock Holmes alive at the end of Sherlock season (or series if your in the UK) 2?
am i the only one who has been wondering this for monthssssssssssssss
Probably.
I’m a Kindergarten teacher and today I was giving some kids their first writing lesson. Trying to make them write the letter “a” I kept saying “start here and it goes around. Around. Draw around, like that, yes, AROUND” and this one tiny little kid just sighed really dramatically and looked at me in despair and said in a really sarcastic tone “Around…? So around here? Around this? Or around and around the garden like a teddy bear? ” and I just dissolved into absolutely hysterical laughter because I seem to have a 4 year old future Sherlock in my class and this was the best day at work ever and I’m still laughing, oh my god.
I have seen death in many forms, but never has it appeared to me in a more fearsome aspect than in that dark, grimy apartment {Doctor Watson in A Study in Scarlet by sir Arthur Conan Doyle}
Okay people, I need your help! Voting is open for my Poppins vs. Holmes StreetFighter mashup on the Threadless Oddcouples contest.
I’ve got two weeks to get people to like it! Vote for me!
You’ve seen it, you’ve loved it. Now if you vote, you could have the chance to wear it!
I’m sick, so I sketched Sherlock to make myself feel better. Cumberbatch is the best medicine.
