Thanks for the shoutout @captain-caz, we love you too! 💖 -WL
Hi there! I'm so glad I found this blog because I need a bit of help. I'm worried I got into TJLC too late (about 2 years ago when it was already pretty popular). I didn't do much with the community, mostly just read through theories and such but after s4 aired I saw people begin to loose hope. I'm finally going to make my contribution and start a TJLC blog. The thing is I'm not experienced yet in writing meta or anything, so I don't know how to get myself out there. Any tips?

Im getting so depressed. I just had to quit my favorite Johnlock fanfic fb group bc they don’t tolerate any criticism of s4 and their being taken over by Sherlollies, despite specially being a ‘Johnlock’ group. I’m running out of fan spaces and I think I’ll have to say goodbye to the show.
I’m sorry you’re feeling depressed anon @johnlockficclub holds a discord chat where johnlock fans can discuss fic that’s been chosen for the club to read! They recently did The Burning Heart by @may-shepard which I would highly recommend! We also have a tag #tjlcfriends on our blog for like minded fans to have the opportunity to interact. And this blog will always be available to you if you need to talk, our askbox is open
However with that, your health absolutely comes first. And if you feel you need to leave the show and/or fandom you should. Your well being is always first priority. If leaving makes you feel more at peace then that is best for you. And fandom will always be here if you ever decide to return. Like I said there’s space for everyone
If you feel your depression is worsening, please talk to a counselor or therapist, and if they are not available to you then someone you trust. There are also hotlines you can contact for help. If you’re like me and get anxiety over talking on the phone, you can use the crisis textline with the phone number 741741. Again, I am sorry you are in pain and I hope it eases. Remember that you are so strong for getting through and your life is precious, there is no one else like you on this earth and you are invaluable.

Hey, I'm writing a school essay on Johnlock and I was wondering whether you know the interview in which Mark Gatiss talks about gay jokes (while talking about Moriarty)? I have seen it a while ago and wanted to include it but can't find it anymore... So if you have seen it and could send me the link that would be fabulous :) (Obvs I won't mind if you don't know what I'm talking about) Thanks
I believe it’s the DVD commentary for The Great Game. SG

Okay I'm a hardcore johnlock shipper but I'm extremely ashamed to say that I don't know what tjlc is so please inform me thanksss :)
TJLC stands for “The Johnlock Conspiracy.” It’s a group that formed after series 3 of Sherlock aired and centered around the idea that the showrunners were intentionally setting up a romance between John and Sherlock, even going so far as to drop clues in set design, publicity appearances, etc. Largely the group consisted of LGBTQA+ youth who wanted to see themselves represented on a major television show in the form of a slow-burn love story, the likes of which is found in abundance for cis-het audiences. After series 4 aired and was extremely straight, most TJLCers abandoned the conspiracy train, though certain facets are still going strong. SG

I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask. I have plans for selling 2 Johnlock fanfiction books, one is Victorian era and one is femlock in modern day with drastically different interpretations of JW and SH. I'm worried I'll run into legal trouble even if the books are in public domain. Besides the publishing (I plan to sell it on ebooks) would people even want to pay for Sherlock fanfiction?
Great question! I know several Johnlock fanfic authors have gone on to publish and sell their works (for actual money!). As far as the public domain issue (I’ve researched extensively for my own adaptation) it really depends. Doyle’s estate is very finicky with what they choose to pick on creators for. I remember they threw a fit over the Ian McKellen movie because it featured Holmes in retirement – a plot point that the last handful of canon stories that are still copyrighted rely heavily on. I’d suggest applying for the copyright on both and see if the claims office flags anything on the works and then just go for selling them. Courts have historically been much more likely to side with the new works creators in cases that involve Doyle’s estate. Any other followers have advice? SG

Am I the only one who thinks Mofftiss are scamming all the shippers and will never reveal which one is true? Like, they're so inconsistent and jump all over the place with the ships, even in interviews, that there's now too many contradictions so they're all ruined for me. Please tell me I'm not the only one.
I’m sure you’re not the only one who feels this way! Personally, I’m on the “they’re-actually-not-very-good-writers-so-their-plot-holes-are-actually-plot-holes-and-not-a-conspiracy” train right now. SG

As this is so perfectly a support group I wanted to share my frustration but ultimately solution with all of you but it got a bit too long. It's my first and only post for now and would love if the community would give it's opinion on my view of TFP.
Hey there! I’m sure people would love to take a look at your thoughts – do you have a link to the post? I’m having trouble finding it. SG

so every now and then i feel so sad that johnlock didn't became canon in s4 ( not to talk about how shitty s4 was...) and i'm like really worried about what is going to happend to the community... i'm worried that, with the possibility that s4 was the last season of sherlock, this community and fandom will start to fade and i can't really handle that. i love bbc sherlock (well at least the first 2 seasons) and i feel so alone in this sometimes and i feel like all is going to end soon enough
Hey there nonny! I know it can feel like this is the end of an era, and in many ways it is. But the community is still here and going strong online, even if most have made peace with the way season 4 ended. If you feel comfortable, maybe try reaching out to some other bloggers on our #tjlcfriends tag – sometimes it can help to talk to someone one-on-one about your frustrations rather than watching peoples’ blogs. There are plenty of us out there who would love to chat! – SG

I heard that Rebekah is now making YouTube videos of xer playing video games. Do you know the name of the new channel? I'd like to watch them :) Thanks!
I don’t know personally – any followers know? Maybe see if they have it linked to the TJLCE channel? That sounds awesome, hope xe’s having fun! SD

Do you know what happened to Rebekah? Her blog and videos was such a big part of Tumblr for me last year and I was wondering if she is still out there or taking a break from Tumblr all together?.
Xe deleted and got some distance from fandom and tumblr alltogether. I didn’t have direct conatct to xer but xe wrote a message via Liddy so we wouldn’t be worried - DAB

I just, ugh, I just watched 5 of Reb's videos and THERE IS NO WAY I WILL EVER ACCEPT S4 I AM IN CRISIS HELP
Ugh, what season 4 are you even talking about?Try it with passive aggressive ignoring, works well for me. Probably healthier ways to handle this mess of a season are occasional rants on its awfulness, tooth-sickeningly cute headcanons (optionally parentlock), reading very long and complex Johnloc fanfics or bury yourself in the fandom love (if the BBC fandom is to close I’d recommend the Granada Holmes and Skam fandoms, lovely people there). Get it out of your system and get a bit of distance - DAB

Do you know those people that make you feel like a lie? That is exactly what my family makes me feel around my sexuality. I'm gay but I don't dare to tell them (really original, I know). My sister has already come out and... she's alive. I just feel like if I come out they'll think that I'm just a copycat. Whenever I try to talk about something queer my brother always sighs and get annoyed over how everything is to be so "original". I DIDN'T F*N CHOOSE THIS but they make me feel like I did.
Dear Nonny, I know all to well what you mean. Families expectations and believes of who one should be can pressure one so much. They are among the closest people one can have. So of course you don’t want them to think of you this way. It’s also only natural to be influenced by their opinion of you - which doesn’t make this situation any better, I know.Have you tried talking about it to your sister? She would probably be the one in your family understanding your feelings best. Please keep in mind that you’re allowed to have role models and can still be yourself. Your feelings still come out of you and not anyone else. Who you are comes out of you, there is no need to be “original”. - DAB
