I wonder how many of the new fans will stay in scions and etc. I have no doubt you will, since this is a once and future fandom, but many people have gotten used to being fannish butterflies, and following their fancies. (I had lunch yesterday with a friend who was in Sherlock fandom at the very beginning and we were talking about this. OTOH, two of my New York Nineteenth Century Society buddies were talking about their plans to go to the revivified Priory Scholars meeting and I did find myself going "oooh, tell me how it is!")
I remember years ago being at a Sherlockian event in Buffalo, thinking about getting involved again, and a woman dramatically going on about *hating* Jeremy Brett's . . . hair? and the expression in his eyes. . . and sloping off in extreme "so not getting into this conversation"ness. (I was already making plans to move back to NYC anyway . . . but she did scare me off a bit.) Er, which just reminds me of your "hates all film adaptations" guy. Presumably there's one in every crowd.
