When Epiphanies Go Bad

[the_other_sandy]

The BBC is starting up the new season of Sherlock on New Year's Day. The last I heard, we're not getting it on PBS until May. That means that in order to avoid spoilers, I won't be able to read Sherlock fic for five months. Five months. Yes, there are tools like Read It Later or Delicious where I could stash fic to read later, but five months. There will be so much fic stashed after five months that it'll be too overwhelming and I'll just wind up deleting it all without reading it anyway. I'm going to miss five months' worth of fic. And yes, I would like some cheese with my whine.

You can have my cheese, but I'll join you in the whine. I don't think I can avoid Sherlock fic for five months. The withdrawal pains would be too bad! Either I'm going to be holding my hands over my eyes and going, "La-la-la-la," a lot, or I'm going to have to go back through fic that I missed before from coming into the fandom so late.

I'm in so many fandoms I can barely keep up with the current fic. I only wish I had time to go back and read the older stuff. I imagine H50 alone will keep me plenty busy 'til May, especially if one of the spoilers I heard was true.

Meanwhile, if you come across anything you think I might like, please give me a heads-up and I'll stick it in one of the many places I stash fic that I haven't gotten around to reading yet for whatever reason.
