Would it be wrong of me to ask 'why?' as in 'to what end?'*

*Probably, but I've been wrong enough before that I'm now rather good at it.

Not wrong!

Basically, to provide a place to talk about What's Wrong With This Canon that's also a place to talk about How We Love This Canon. I mean, like, an organized public space that's not my journal. Because there's this tension, right? Between "I have many feels about this show" and "I want to draw hearts around these characters" and "holy shit that is a fucked up thing" and "hey that level of character hate for Molly and/or Sally is A Bit Not Good." And, because my snarky "in the fandom but scared of the fandom" tag got a bunch of "OMG ME TOOOOOOO" comments.

Um, if I can manage to remember my DW password so that I can actually log in to my account, then I'd definitely join. If not, then I'd definitely still drop by on at least a semi-regular basis to see what was going on. I would also probably comment on stuff, but I can't say how frequently.

sherlocked_feminists seems like a good comm name, and I definitely enjoy Angry Feminists Having Accidental Feels About BBC Sherlock as a title. *g*

I think I'd definitely want to set up a feed on LJ, so people who are here primarily would be able to know when there are new posts. You should be able to reset your password, if nothing else!

On the DW mirror of this, there is an active conversation about whether the term "sherlocked" can be reclaimed or whether the attempt is too illegible and problematic. This is why I love my internet friends.
