Interview: Louise Brealey/Molly

[boji]

In the Observer today, Louise Brealey does a brief interview where she talks about Molly loving Sherlock, her take on twitter and how fans basically write porn.

And I'm not kidding. From the interview I give you:

There's this whole world of fandom. What's fascinating is that they [the fans] write these stories about the characters. I initially thought they were just stories but they're not; they're basically porn.

After the first series, I was looking online to see what people thought of Molly and what came out was this story in which Molly got nipple piercings and had sex with Moriarty. At which point, I stopped reading.

The rest can be found here.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. (Although I have trouble imagining myself *not* being in fandom... *g*)

Maybe I just wish that a) the first exposure wouldn't always be the porn (because dammit, there is plenty of gen out there.) and b) journalists wouldn't insist on always asking those questions... her reaction is justified, but I'd just rather not *know* about it, you know? (Fourth wall I miss you. ;___;)
