Benedict Cumberbatch can do no wrong in our eyes. And, apparently, we’re not the only ones who think so. The Sherlock star was named Best Actor and the hit series also won the award for Best Drama at the TVChoice Awards, according to the Coventry Telegraph.

So I'm always telling my friends they should check out some new fandom or show or whatnot without helping them out. This is my way of rectifying that and getting more people on the Sherlock BBC Fandom Train of Awesome.

Check It Out!

FanArt Reccomendations: (And check out the rest of these artist’s galleries because there are more goodies to be found.)

Fanfic Recs - (Check back at this tumblr for more fic recs later because I’m just getting started and had to pick and choose for this first post)

3 Stages of Frienship Why I Liked It: I’m a sucker for h/c (hurt/comfort) and this has buckets full. It also has protective!worried!Sherlock which is a favorite of mine. Overall very sweet and heartmelty and characterizes their BFF relationship (Which I fully support even when I’m slashing them like the mad fangirl I am). http://starjenni.livejournal.com/tag/3%20stages%20of%20friendship

Collection of Drabbles and Shorts with Protective!John I mushed these together because the reason I like them is all the same - John stands up for Sherlock and defends him against people calling him a freak or just general a**hole-ish-ness. These are all by different authors and some are slash some are gen. http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/575.html?thread=587071#t587071(slash) http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/575.html?thread=1089087#t1089087(slash) (warning: readability is kinda crap because of a formatting error) http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/575.html?thread=225599#t225599 http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/575.html?thread=120639#t120639

The Trick Is To Make It Look Easy Why I Liked It: The amazing dialogue both outer and inner. Just very witty writing that had me grinning like a loon. It’s very light on the slash so I think those more into gen could still enjoy it. John is adjusting to what it means to be living with Sherlock. Slash. http://paperclipbitch.livejournal.com/137620.html
