I understand that this is new and exciting for you, Mun, and that you're getting very attached to your new fandom, but does this hunt for--what do you call it? Right. "Fanfiction". Do we really need to continue this?

The ideas it's giving you are...worrying.

Stop smiling like that. [:|]

[BUT BUT BUT. Fine. You're right.]

Why?

[:D]

Because people don't take me seriously when I correct them.

And?

...you really don't see how that can be frustrating?

Not being taken seriously? Yes, if it negatively impacts your ability to be effective, which is sometimes the case.

But I wouldn't care what they thought to correct them to begin with.

[SIGH.]

No, of course you wouldn't.

Because it doesn't matter.

Not to you.

No, just generally.

Why does it matter? Are you concerned it will scare off women? Because I don't think it will.

Well it certainly isnt going to help me with them, is it?

Nonsense. Anything can be useful if used in the right way and at the right time.

How in the world is someone thinking I'm gay going to help me get a date?

Lots of women find that sort of thing very engaging --if those stories are anything to go by-- as well as feeling very special that you'd be interested in her when you're usually interested in only men.

No.

No, that's.

No, that is not an angle I'm going to work.

[He shrugs.]

I didn't say you should, but you did ask the question.

I think I'll be just fine going on as I have been.

[Sure, John. That's what you think.]

[Sherlock doubts that. Well, either that or he and John have differing definitions of 'fine', which is entirely possible.]

You would know.

[Shut up, Sherlock :|]

Yes, I would.

Thank God none of these stories can follow us back.

[Make him~ Translation: alas, never.]

I--

Hmm.

[Sherlock is having A Thought. And you're not going to like it.]

'Hmm'?

'Hmm', what?

...What we talked about before. Having a fan. And public attention, celebrity...

[Right now, somewhere in Sherlock-verse, someone, somewhere (maybe lots of people in lots of places) is writing Sherlock/John RPF and posting it to the internet.]

Oh, God.

Yes. That, exactly.

[Not that he cares, of course. Nope, not caring. None at all.]

You'd think that there'd be some sort of law against that.

What, like a Thought Crime?
