Snowflake Challenge #13 - Favourite Memory

[smallhobbit]

Share a favorite memory about fandom

Fandom is all about friends - online friends who distance means I'm less likely to meet, and those who I have met.  So a shout out to all of you!  These are friends who I've met because of a particular fandom and yet the friendship has progressed well past the starting point and I value you all the more for that reason.

My favourite single memory will be the one I always mention, because it's unlikely to be surpassed.  Going to Meiringen in Switzerland at the beginning of May one year with seven other Sherlock fans.  We visited the Reichenbach Falls and commemorated Sherlock Holmes' death at the hands of Professor Moriarty.



It's the only time I have been to Switzerland and I really loved seeing somewhere so different - snow in May!  Mountains.  Waterfalls.

I love that and completely agree.

That sounds like an amazing experience, and the photos are stunning!

Thank you for sharing them.

Oh, this is so lovely, thank you! I never actually thought of going there. But I have visited Baker street 221B the only time I was in London!

That sounds like such a cool experience!

Distance stops the body, but the hearts and minds still meet and embrace in fond memories of frequently visited venues known only to them.

That is such a cool thing to do! Not surprised it remains unsurpassed!

I'm seriously jealous! I'd love to visit Meiringen...and Switzerland in general! Saying that, I'm happy that you were able to take such a meaningful trip and form such a wonderful fandom memory. :-D

BTW, your photos are gorgeous! You were able to get a fantastic shot of the Reichenbach Falls!
