News and links, for I'm stuck here for another couple of hours and I'm bored. :D

The biggest Sherlock community, sherlockbbc is on hiatus. The community in itself was great, the users are amazing, and I met so many friends there, but I wasn't the only one who had a problem with the mods' administration, and now they decided to shut everything down for a while. So, for anyone who needs them, here's a bunch of helpful links for all your fandom needs. ^^

On Tumblr
An Army Doctor
Fanfic Recs
Blanket For Your Shock

My personal recs would be my Bookmark Page on AO3, obviously.

And my Tumblr is here, just in case. I think Tumblr isn't a proper instrument for a fandom: it's great to share links and recs, but you can't properly comment and discuss with other users, at least not without spamming everyone, and I'm convinced that should be the core of it. But yes, if you're looking for links and recs, that is definitely the place now.

I'm trying to follow everyone from my f-list on AO3 and tumblr too, but in case I somehow missed you, drop me a line with a link here. ♥

On real life news, nothing much happening, but for Sakura still taking her syrup, and me crossing all fingers that it works because if I have to carry her another time to the vet during the next week she'll just pack her bags and leave. Definitely.

And Game of Thrones keeps getting better and better with every new episode, while making me cry for minor characters I didn't even notice I loved so much until now.

Tomorrow I'm going to visit a couple of friends I haven't seen in months, I'm so happy! We have so many things to talk about, and I missed them a lot! *___________*

Ho letto dello hiatus della community ma,seguendo un pò pochino in questi ultimi mesi,non ho ben capito a cosa sia dovuto,specie visto che la community mi è sempre sembrata un posto abbastanza tranquillo e con utenti diligenti,ma magari mi sbaglio xD peccato però,non mi piacciono certe decisioni prese così :/

Questa non l'ho capita.
Boh, sarà che io sono una n00b ma non avevo notato particolari cose strane. Ho visto molto di peggio nel fandom di Bleach...
Comunque, grazie per i link ad altri luoghi in cui cercherò di farmi la mia pera quotidiana di slash.
Io non ho tumblr, ma mi piace guardare quelli dedicati a Sherlock...però non ho mai capito come funziona come posto...

Sherlockbbc was the first and most of the time the only community I visited constantly. The place is great to discuss and to find some fab artworks and craft-stuff and FanFictions and stuff.

But it became "too much" for me, to check every entry every day, so I stopped visiting this site, just had look from time to time.

I think it must be hard work to run a community like that... but what happened about the "ibelieveinsherlock"-thing? The mods of the community attacked the fandom, because they are doing something like this? Didn't hear about that, but it doesn't sound very nice :/ Cause I think "ibelieveinsherlock" is a very nice and funny idea!

lol that place... I checked it a lot for fics but the thing is it's not a fic comm, it's a general comm for Sherlock and there were hardly any discussions there, mostly fic. In the posts they made for discussions there were hardly comments. I get it that a place with so many people needs strict rules but I think they were a little up-tight and the huge rule section with the red font was a turn-off. Why put it on the top there? Put it in the info page or something.

Maybe they should said no fics, icons etc here like in ontd_football, and make it a comm for news, discussions and fun. ontd_football has a lot of members and the posts are not moderated. Though that place is no fun anymore but that doesn't really have to do with that.

Thanks for the links! I couldn't believe it when I saw the comm was on hiatus - it's such a big community. I hope the break helps, I have found the mods to be a tad OTT at times. Incidentally, talking of places for your fandom needs, I've just started this message board - http://slashfiction.socialparody.com/forumlist - so anyone who wants to share Sherlock fic, etc, there is welcome ^_^
