The Elite Devotee or How The Sherlock Fandom Is A Horrible Embarrassment To The Sherlockian World by Phillip Shreffler

bakerstreetbabes:

This is the article that the rant was written in retaliation to. At the time I hadn’t read it, because it was sent only to a select few Sherlockians, but heard through the grapevine of the contents. I’ve since been sent the article and warned of its actual words. I knew it was aimed at fandom in a very derogatory way, but I had no idea it was a personal attack. My name is mentioned. I’m quoted. I’m apparently a horrible embarrassment and a tragedy.You know what, that doesn’t matter. Were my feelings hurt? Sure. Was I enraged for being called out by a petty cowardly man? A bit. But that doesn’t matter, I’ll take your bitter words Mr. Shreffler and continue to make The Baker Street Babes amazing. Maybe you’ve seen us on your television, as we’ve been on NBC, The Today Show, CBS, and appeared in USA Today and online at FOX. Or maybe you’ll see us in your local bookstore when our essay collection is published. Or maybe you’ll see us at the BSI Dinner which, guess what, we were invited by your BSI boss Michael Whelan, to for our contributions to the Sherlockian world. Hmmm.

As for us just being silly Sherlock fangirls. I hope you know that you contradicted yourself. You said we only drooled over Sherlock and then quoted me saying I wanted to start something for SHERLOCK HOLMES fans. Notice I didn’t actually mention the BBC. Also, if you bother to look at our episode backlog, you’ll notice we only have three out of thirty-six episodes are directly linked to the BBC show. Sure, we mentioned it in others because, guess what, it’s a Sherlock Holmes adaptation. I know. It’s hard to accept. I’m sure you’ll get over it, after you get over yourself.

And so, for those who dare risk the ignorant babble of a man who cannot let go of the past and thinks himself at least ten times above every one of you, you made read below the cut. There are some blanks because the scan we have isn’t the greatest, but it doesn’t impede it much. No more than it impedes itself.

Warning: Only read this if you are ready to become incredibly irate and feel a sense of deflation about being even remotely interested in the other side of the Sherlock Holmes coin. 

Why don’t more young people want to get involved in the scholarly organizations of Sherlock Holmes? See above. I know its not everyone in the BSI that feels this way. Hell not even 98%. But it only takes the 2%. The Philip A. Shreffers. The I Hear of Sherlock Holmes factions that make those organizations as desirable to the youth as the DMZ zone.

someday someone will ask me ‘so did you contribute anything to your fandom?’ and I will look back at this and cry.

No regrets.

Fandom, take my money.

Second hand embarrassment.

“I’ve noticed also. People get really weird for shows that are really normal. The Sherlock fandom is in this weird bubble where they… I can’t tell if they are joking or not? But they are in an arms races to be more absurd…I saw a fanart/fanfiction where Sherlock was a llama and John was a Corgi and they kiss but they, but they are having trouble because of the height difference. How is this what this show is about in your head?!”
