I just spent my commute mentally working out a Zach/Benedict on-the-ST-set fic. I don't even KNOW where that came from. My brain has apparently already decided that whoever Benedict plays in the next ST film, he will be slashed with Spock. Like, without even consulting me. Just BAM, here is your new pairing. :-P

It also wants some Spock/Sherlock crossover smut. That must exist. *considers where to look for it*

My brain, it scares me sometimes.

But you know, one of the awesome things about fandom is that I know I'm not alone in this crazy descent into obsessiveness over something new and shiny. Before I found online fandom 10 years ago, this kind of thing would suck me under and I felt so alone. I had no outlet, no one I could explain the feelings to. It was crazy being trapped in my own head like that for weeks on end, the outside world a little hazy and foreign, and I both loved and hated it. Knowing that there are other people out there who get this feeling is such a tremendous relief. It keeps me afloat, it really does. And it's SO much more fun!! *snuggles fandom*

On a related note, is there some super-secret way to watch Sherlock live from North America that I just haven't figured out? Not that I mind waiting a bit to get a copy, but if there IS a way, I thought I should ask.

From what I've seen all over my Flist, check out the LJ comm [livejournal.com profile] sherlockbbc and look for their "posts of dubious legality" in which live streaming and post-airing download/streaming sites are collected. Also, are you PC or Mac? My friend has some downloadable thing called ExPatShield or something like that, that she uses to mask her IP addy and make it look like she's in the UK, and can then watch on BBC1's player, but it's not for Mac, just PC. There are other things like that, which I'm sure you can find out more about in that comm. :)

I'm watching from Brazil without problems with livestreams. In the flickr, on sunday, a lot of fans post links for their livestreams, but usually they only support 50 fans, so you must get there at least one hour early. On the first episode I did that, but last sunday i just googled livestream bbc1 and found a lot of links! XD

And o.o Spock/Shelock! I want it!

I'm not picky! [livejournal.com profile] pinkfinity has been nice enough to send me the video file she'd downloaded the last two times, but I'm wondering if there's a way to watch it live as well. Where do you DL from?

I PMed you. Yeah, not sure where to stream british stuff. It's annoying that they don't make it easy.

I know what you mean about the fandom thing. I honestly thought I was the only person who thought these crazy things.

Sherlock/Spock, huh?

Now I'm imagining mind meld sex in some sort of Vulcan Mind Palace.

I know, right? I remember one instance when I spent a week locked in my apartment right before the spring semester started my junior year of college, utterly obsessed with the Clan of the Cave Bear series. Like, crazy-obsessed. I didn't leave my apartment for a WEEK. And the internet didn't exist then, mind. It was just me inside my crazy fucking head for a week, living on cans of soup, scribbling bad fanfic that no one would ever read in little notebooks.

And yet it was glorious. How the fuck is that possible? Still, I much prefer the current circumstances of millions of people available 24/7 to share the crazy with. :-D

I wrote scripts. I didn't know what fanfic was, so I wrote what I WANTED to be canon.

Quantum Leap and Northern Exposure. I even wrote a crossover script! :D

I want to go back and pat my 12yo self on the head and tell her about zines and how to find them, just to save her 18 years of feeling like a freak. :-P

Tall, dark, and snarky go well together. Especially in pairs. :D

Spock/Sherlock is a stunning idea. At last, someone Sherlock has to respect. And, Sherlock in space -- it might make him reconsider the importance of rudimentary astronomy. Imagine a scene where Spock is all intrigued with clever Sherlock but then discovers Sherlock doesn't know the Earth orbits the Sun. :-)

Have joined, although I'm not interested in the RPF (really, way to make the actors think we fans are DERANGED), just the Spock/Sherlock...

I don't know if you've found a solution or not yet, but just in case, I spotted this post so linking as promised:

(Hopefully that works, I'm a moron when it comes to this newfangled tumblr thing.)

Thanks! I actually DL'd Expat Shield last night and tested it out watching a bunch of live streams on BBC's iPlayer, and it worked fine. Before I'd gotten "not allowed in your area" messages. So fingers crossed, I should be able to watch live. Holy shit!!! *flails*
