Chatter Post

Please see the most recent MOD NOTE and ADDENDUM

(updated 5 July)

Good evening ladies and gentlemen (and good day to you too, inhabitants of the other side of the world). As always - this isn't a captain speaking but I come bearing news nonetheless.

It has been brought to my attention today(/night) by our good friend OxfortTweed, that a Chatter Post might work quite well for our fandom.

I'm inclined to agree with him.

As such, here you have a brand-spanking-new post to chatter, Brit-pick, ask questions, debate, gossip, gush and generally indulge in any fannish activity that does not fall under the category of posting or filling prompts. I hope you all enjoy it

The usual guidelines apply, but mostly:

- Please be respectful to one another.

- Don't bash other (non)anon's comments/questions/ideas/etc.

- Have fun

Now go forth, chat amongst yourselves and enjoy. I am of course on stand, so if any problems arise, feel free to drop me a line.

And if you stumble across any plot bunnies here, please just drop them off home at the Prompt-Post, the rest of the herd will be overjoyed to meet them.

Or as they say in Limerick

It's been brought to my attention we are needing
A place for discussion, not reading
I hope this post will do
I'll leave the rest to you
And Beware of the plot bunnies breeding

Sorry if the poem is rubbish - I literally haven't written one since grade five.

REALLY IMPORTANT ADDENDUM

According to numerous Child Safety laws it is illegal to provide pornographic material to minors. Seeing that the majority of the stuff we have here is rather adult in nature, this Meme is consequently an 18+ zone. Failing to comply to this rule could result in the Meme getting shut down. So if you're here and you're under 18 please back button now.

Please do not post anything regarding minors in a sexual situation. It really doesn't matter how tasteful or crass it is, there are laws that classify that sort of thing as child pornography and as such, I'm afraid we're going to have to go with the attitude that safe is better than sorry.

It really is VERY important that these rules are upheld as the consequences are severe.

Other than that - go crazy guys. Any problems please just message me and I'll try my best to work it out.

Re: Martin's hair colour?

As a ginger myself I feel the need to throw myself into this discussion. I look at Cumberbatch and think "hey, we have the same coloring", so I'll explain how it works for me (and of course how I imagine it works for him too).

I have freckles all the time, but I can see them because I know they are there. Other people have to get pretty close to me in the winter to see them at all. In the summer they multiply like rabbits though. And my hair used to be very red, although not red like, say, Ron Weasley, but still red. As I'm getting older my hair gets progressively less red, and I'm counting on it being more brownish when I'm thirty, and going grey when I'm getting close to forty. So I think it could be the same, that his hair is just loosing its redness. Also, he dyes it for Sherlock, and dying it back to his natural color would be impossible (I know this through experience, not hairdresser I've ever been to has been able to dye it red like my hair looks). Of course, hair also gets bleached in the sun, which is generally noticeable in redheads, so that will account for some of the color variations.

...hmmm, that was a lot of useless info :p

I'm the same way. Ginger and freckled, but in that pale sort of way that people may mistake me for having brown-ish hair.

Although, I've found that with a bit of blonde hair dye, I can reach Ron Weasley levels of orange, which in turn makes me seem much less like a vampire. Somehow, the neon orange hair does actually help me look less ill and more like a human being, so I tend to go super-ultra ginger.

Of course, my freckles seem to have somehow worked this out, as they've begun multiplying recently. I've now got them in places where I didn't before, which is annoying. Especially since some of them have started to invade my tattoos. D:

I had blond highlights once, that looked pretty good. Then another time I tried to bleach my hair at home, which made it not so much blond as yellow. Or as my mother said, piss colored...

Tattoo-invading freckles sounds horrible :( Fortunately my only tattoo is on my ankle, and I tend not to get a lot of freckles on my legs. Though, the one I have planned on my upper arm will probably be freckly. Well, I'll have to live with it, I guess :p

	I've got one on my chest which is now ruined, and one on my arm that's getting that way. I'm annoyed, because the invading freckles are huge and dark and visible even through the dark blue and green ink. D: (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
