Attention Sherlock fandom!
After BBC Sherlock’s phenomenal success at the Emmys, Steven Moffat was quoted as saying “I don’t go on Tumblr. […] We have to stay away from it, particularly me. My friends just keep saying, ‘Don’t go on Tumblr. They’re all tremendously cross.” - of course we don’t want to leave him feeling that any Tumblr hates him, so #flowersformoffat was born: The idea to send him a large bouquet of congratulatory flowers on behalf of the Sherlockians of Tumblr. The project was a huge success, and it has become clear that there are an immense number of Tumblr users who are jumping at the chance to say ‘thank you’ to the producers, cast and crew of BBC Sherlock.
This is why thankyoubbcsherlock, a platform for our appreciation and positivity, was created. The idea is to include the url to the blog with the #flowersformoffat, which will be delivered in the next few days (as soon as we’ll know for sure where Steven Moffat is next week). There are also some plans to give a card to that effect to Martin at the stage door next week.
Here’s where you come in. We want them to look at the site and be blown away by how much love and support there is for them, especially on a site which they consider to be “cross with them”. We already have an outpouring of support but we are running out of submissions. Since the blog runs on your submissions, we need your help. Send us an ask or submission showing your love and appreciation for BBC Sherlock (writers, producers, cast, and crew) or simply tell us why BBC Sherlock and our fan community means so much to you.
What else can you do? Spread the word! By reblogging this, even if you don’t want to contribute at the moment, you can still help get the word out. In addition to that, we are looking for (older) tumblr posts (e.g. fanart or meta posts) that show the fandom’s appreciation for the show. Please send us links to those and we’ll gladly get in touch with the original posters for permission.
