Thank you so much. That means a lot particularly from you. :)
Mmm, yes, it's something I have to remind myself of too, particularly in things I'm fannish about. I develop my own theories and ideas about things and I get attached to them but I still expect the direction the original writers take to be better--but of course I mostly feel it's the other way around because my theories were what felt right to my brain. So in that sense I can sympathise with the JLCers who lost their nuts. It's always a hard shock when the resolution is less satisfying to you than the one you devised--but at a certain depth of fandom it is inevitable.
And yeah, I've had someone hanging around in the comments on my stories over the past few weeks who apparently never liked Sherlock, or John, or the plotlines, or the real-world detail, right from ASiP, in a way that meant they couldn't enjoy it ever, and I'm just like... okay. I'm not entering this conversation anymore. Go find a fandom where you're going to have fun.
PS: Have just realised there was a typo in my previous comment which I assume you picked up from the context, but I meant "Yes, I knew you WOULDN'T be the Johnlock tantrum kind" Way to miss the negation. *facepalm*
