Right, so I guess I should actually post something here. Name's Rebecca; I am on LJ as wild_huntress, and have been on and off for years - except it seems like everyone is gradually disappearing from that site, which led me here to see about getting my fangirlish needs met. I'm currently a grad student but can't sit and write my thesis every minute of every day... sometimes I want to write fan fiction instead, or marathon movies/TV shows and squee about them online. :)

My current obsessions are Velvet Goldmine (such an amazing but obscure movie that needs more love), Doctor Who and Torchwood, and Sherlock although I've been on a little break from that. Previous fandoms include Harry Potter and Star Wars; I also recently inhaled the BBC show Life on Mars and have no one to discuss it with, so if you're a fan in a similar predicament, hit me up. I may use this journal for things like fan fic, random squeeing, possibly playing around with Polyvore to create fashion looks inspired by my nerdly interests, but I'll see how it goes. I also miss getting to interact online with other people in fandom (a need LJ's not really meeting anymore), so I'm pretty open about adding people.

Yay?

Also, this afternoon I have a meeting with a professor to start a one-term research paper on legal implications of fan fiction. :)

Hello there! :D

Do you mean BBC Sherlock, by any chance? I'm a huge fan of Elementary and I've been meaning to try the BBC version.

Hi again,
Nice to hear from you. :) I definitely mean BBC Sherlock, which then went on to inspire an obsession with all sorts of Sherlock Holmes things. Haven't yet seen Elementary but I've been meaning to, and I recommend BBC Sherlock so highly (especially the first three episodes/all of season one and the last episode of season two). I'm actually reminiscing about it and Polyvore-ing up some outfits inspired by the characters now...

I love Sherlock and Doctor Who. I really need to start watching Torchwood. I am hooked on Castle, and The Mentalist right now. I love crime shows.

I actually discovered Doctor Who through Sherlock, since they share some of the writers (well, Moffat), and then some people at a Doctor Who fan meetup recommended that I get into Torchwood, which I love too. It's quite short; just two seasons then two miniseries constituting seasons three and four - those last two are pretty heavy but the show's amazing too.

Never saw Castle or The Mentalist, though I've heard the latter incorporates some Sherlock Holmes-esque tropes. I do recommend Life on Mars if you think you might be interested in the story of a 2007 cop going back to 1973 and trying to cope with the different approach to his profession back then. :) (Such a good show...) And nice to hear from you!
