Whose fandom owns the title for the “mother of all fanfiction honeypots” and paved the way for (cough) Fifty Shades of Grey?  Our Sherlock Holmes fandom, of course!  In this video, the PBS Idea Channel discusses Sherlock Holmes fanfic, the wider fanfiction community, artistic movements and trends, and authors like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who create loose continuities that appeal to fan writers.

AW YEAH.  

Happy Fandom Summer from the Baker Street Babes!  Stay tuned for more!
