Okay, no, this is all done in good humor.
Is it really true that Adlock shippers are few? Really, you'd think that given Cumberbatch and Pulver's chemistry on-screen and/or ACD's canon there'd be quite a large number of people shipping them. (ASiB ROCKED, okay.) But I always see you (or some of you) guys say that there's only a rather small group of us out there, especially on Tumblr.
Really, I can't quite put my finger on it, and it's amusing. X)

I know exactly how you feel. There are just too many johnlock shippers people who ship other ships. But although the fandom is tiny, we are mighty and the friends I've made on the Adlock tag are some of my favorite people on the internet! And as for the fan works, quality over quantity perfectly describes them. Sure, we don't have hundreds of thousands of fan works, but the stuff we do have is really good. I was thoroughly impressed searching for Adlock stuff on ff.net the first time, all the Adlock shippers are SO talented! Although it's annoying that there's one Adlock shipper for every twenty Johnlock shippers, I'd rather have a small ship of people who are kind, welcoming, pretty darn talented, and awesome than a ship that is large, but the shippers are rude and unwelcoming.
Besides, friendly reminder that our ship IS canon. c:

Hmm, I think that a lot of people could see the Adlock chemistry, whether or not they saw it in a positive or negative light. Especially on tumblr. Tumblr...oh, man. We are small--disproportionately small, compared to bigger ships such as Johnlock and Sherlolly. Either way, one thing to be proud of is that we've got one of the earliest fanfics, from around 1956 (?) by Baring-Gould (IDK IF THIS COUNTS.) Also, if it's true that Sherlock's MBTI (personality type) is INTP and Irene's is ENTJ, then they are pretty much perfect for each other according to MBTI.

Hey, also, at least a majority of the Adlock ship doesn't jump to conclusions and assume that everything that isn't in support of their ship is hate. *shifty eyes*. It seems like the smaller the ship, the nicer the people.

and a lot of people hate on Adlock just because it ruins Johnlock, despite the fact that Johnlock shippers accept/ignore MaryxJohn.

It seems like the smaller the ship, the nicer the people. Come on now, it's not that we Adlock shippers are better or nicer, it's just numbers. If you assume 1% of shippers in any given ship are the ones that give everyone else a bad name, the fact that there are at least thousands of Johnlock fans means you'll have at least a handful of the bad apples (in the double digits at least). Adlock being smaller just means our 1% is a person or two and it is less likely that those people will negatively reinforce bad behaviours in each other.

Though I will admit that fics that tag themselves Adlock only to have Irene throw herself at Sherlock (wut) so that he can reject her and be like "NO! JAWN IS MY WUN TWU WUV" makes me want to set things on fire.

JAWN IS MY WUN TWU WUV" makes me want to set things on fire. My friend, an avid Johnlock shipper, sent me an "Adlock" fic one time. I thought it was so nice of her to do that, since a lot of the Johnlock shippers will shut you down. I opened it, and it turned out to be a prime example of this. I was actually really upset by it. At first, I thought maybe she hadn't pre-read it, and was truly trying to be nice. Next time I saw her, she asked me if I'd finally seen the light. I've never insulted Johnlock. in front of her or really ever At the bottom of the email, it said "Enjoy ;)." I know it shouldn't have bothered me as much as it did, but still. That was uncalled for.

I have a burning desire to flame Johnlock . . . I guess the only place I can do it is in the deep depths of this forum. I DESPISE JOHNLOCK. I DESPISE IT TO NO END. I hate how Johnlock shippers automatically hate people who don't ship Johnlock. I ESPECIALLY hate people who think that you have to ship Johnlock otherwise you're not really a Sherlock fan. You're allowed to ship whatever you want! But dissing other people's ships directly to their shippers or even worse, dissing the shippers directly to the shippers, is a no-no. Please stop. (If, for some chance, a Johnlock shipper just so happens to be reading this and gets angry, A, why are you even here, B, I purposely put my rant in the depths of an ADLOCK forum so only ADLOCK shippers would see it) -- Fldjflsjf i try so hard not to flame i try bro There's those times when you just wanna burst out at shippers, but that's putting fire against fire. Sort of tempted to make a side blog of some sorts where I can rant, but nah.

I tend to generalise a lot for the sake of simplicity, so perhaps... ///

I just want to gather all of you up and hug you because those are some shitty things your Johnlock shipping friends, who I am sure are wonderful people, have done.

I know a few people IRL who like the idea of Sherlock and Irene being in a relationship, but I don't know any IRL hardcore Adlock shippers and this upsets me. :c

Sometimes people will join you because your passion for it makes people see it, other times they'll do their own thing. I know quite a few Sherlock fans IRL and none of them ship Adlock (though at least one of them has been made curious because of how often I post about DTaH. Oops?). It's a little lonely sometimes, but that's what we're here for
