My SO digs AO3, so I hope you find a good home in it. I keep hearing about Sherlock, but my response to that is the same as my response to most stuff - I'd love to watch if I can find the time.
HELLO. WELCOME TO SHERLOCK FANDOM. PLEASE DEPOSIT YOUR SOUL AT THE DOOR.
oh my god SO BASICALLY sherlock is a monolith of a fandom and despite being in it for the last 9? months? i still find it kind of terrifying. i've found the entire experience a bit like shouting into the void and sometimes people shout back? and if your shouting doesn't include sherlock/john in some form, you've lost the interest of like, 98% of fandom. /o\ seriously, this pairing probably contains 5x the amount of fic for all other pairings combined.
it's also not nearly as close-knit as any of the other fandoms i've been in--people seem to usually stick to their small predefined circles? i have no idea how easy it is to break into the writers' circle--i haven't really tried. most of them seem very nice though. :D sherlockbbc is the main lj comm. most of the chatter seems to happen over at tumblr though.

I am not in the Sherlock fandom, per se, but congrats on a new and shiny fandom to play in! \o/
