It appears Sherlock fandom is about to implode; I can't really say I'm surprised - I'm more surprised it's taken til now really. I have to admit I was surprised by the sudden hiatus announcement on the main comm, which did seem a bit odd. I've read a few of the posts surrounding it and, well... I'm not involved enough to really justify taking sides, but I have to wonder - if you can't cope with modding for whatever reason, or even if you just don't feel like doing it any more, then step back and let someone else take it on - it's not like the fandom's not big enough that there isn't going to be someone out there with the time/energy to do it. Hanging onto the mod-ship and effectively shutting down a comm of apparently over 11,000 members (the majority of whom one has to imagine have never even had any direct contact with the mods), that doesn't strike me as a move likely to engender sympathy or understanding, quite aside from seeming (to me at least) a bit like taking all your toys (and a lot of other people's) and going off in a huff. *shrug* I don't post often enough for it to really affect me, but I did get a lot of my reads from there, guess not anymore *shrug*

Wow. I consider myself to be in Sherlock fandom, and had absolutely no idea there was anything going on. True, my internet has been a bit wonky for the last 2 weeks, but still... I guess this is what happens when you start to do all your reading on AO3, and I suppose that isn't a bad thing either. I do feel clueless though. Thanks for the heads-up.
