Where can I find the Sherlock fandom on Tumblr?

[Georgia]

I have been extremely interested in the BBC series Sherlock for quite some time now, so much so I think it might have become an obsession. I really love it but none of my friends do and I would really like to have people to talk about it with. The trouble is, I am new to Tumblr and don't have a clue where to find any fandoms or anything. If someone could point me in the right direction and help me join one I would really appreciate it. I am looking for something very popular and extreme, I guess you could say. Also if I could get any pointers on how to use Tumblr, that would be great. Thank you very much and I am sorry is this sounds stupid!

When you log in it goes to the dashboard (where all new posts are), and in the corner there is a search box. Search "Sherlock" and there will be tons of photos that have been posted about it. At the top of this screen will be boxes with bunches of users who post about Sherlock, and on the side of their name should be a "follow" button. If you click on it, their pictures will start appearing on your dashboard, or home, when you log in.

i recommend going onto tumblr and searching around in the tag (which is much cleaner than the search function and makes it easier to keep up with other fans) at tumblr.com/tagged/sherlock and find some posts from some people on there. answer any questions that other fans may have that you may have an answer to, reply to any interesting posts, make your own posts (and don't forget to tag them as sherlock), and most importantly, click the button in the upper right-hand corner with the little padlock on it to track the tag. That way, you can click the search bar on tumblr and it'll pop down with your tracked tags and offer you information on when the tag has been updated and an easier link to the tag.

*joining a fandom isn't particularly a physical thing. there isn't any kind of club you join or "in" you get. you essentially join a fandom on tumblr whenever you choose to start posting about it and talking about, and just generally being a fan of it. post in the tag, message and interact with others, and find some blogs that you personally like to follow and everything should fall into place. and i also recommend liveblogging, which is always fun (as long as you remember to tag your spoilers if you're liveblogging recent episodes) and helps you find new cool people to follow!
