I just need to point out that you all could have gotten me to watch Sherlock S2 a lot fast if someone has mentioned that five minutes in we get to see a group of adorable British comic book geeks. That's all I'm saying. (I'm now seven minutes in!)
It'll probably still take me a while to get through the three episodes. The first season didn't capture me, although I'll easily admire the cinematography. (My tentative personal canon puts Sherlock as asexual and I don't ship him with Watson regardless. This means most of the fic can be good but not awesome, as I'll read fics I don't ship but I won't chase them down or anything.)
At least I'm more interested in this than Merlin, which was the other fandom everyone ran to. I like Gwen and Morgana a lot, but two non-main characters are not always enough to watch a show, even if the BBC iPlayer was convinced that as a Doctor Who fan that was the only other thing that was worth watching.
But I'm not giving up on Torchwood. Not if I have to schedule six-hour fandom hang-outs with everyone, weekly. (Eldabe's Patented Fandom Cure? I will recharge this fandom one fic writer at a time!)
Clearly I like talking fandom a lot. And it's faster than trying to crank out fic. I'm slooow.

sarigray and I had an extensive fandom meet-up on Sunday, yes, for six hours. She can totally take credit for being the one that got me to finally watch Sherlock. Her enthusiasm + wanting to read her fic + the epic Sherlock/DW fan trailer. But really, the comic geeks might have been enough.)
ETA: John Watson types like many people I know, which is to say inefficient but adorable.
