10 000! I am completely speechless!

I’ve decided to arrange a giveaway. I am giving away t-shirts from my collection! Unfortunately I couldn’t fit them all into one single post so CHECK OUT THE REST OF THEM HERE.

I’m not quite sure how many t-shirts I am going to give away yet - but it will at least be one, and maybe more (depending on how many reblogs this thing gets). I may even add new t-shirts. The winner(s) get to pick the t-shirt(s) they want!

EDIT: I am getting a lot of questions about the giveaway, so I’ve made a FAQ under the ‘read more’.

softwatsonwarmwatson:

To celebrate 1000+ followers, I’m hosting a giveaway!

Thank you all so much for following me. I’m really not sure why you do, but to thank you for putting up with stupid, infrequent art and text posts about various places I’ve fallen asleep, here is a small giveaway. I’d like to apologise to my British followers, who must’ve had enough bunting and union jack merch to last them until their grave, but I’m unimaginative.

BOTTLE-O-BAKER STREET

The main item in this giveaway is tiny (Approximately 2.5cm in height, in fact) but its not the size that matters, it’s the contents.

I have the privilege of living in London, and having Baker Street 40 minutes away from my own home, but I know there are thousands of Sherlockians out there who may never see 221b. So I took a trip to 221b, armed with a tiny vial and no shame, and filled it with dirt directly from Sherlock’s home. From one of his potted plants, in fact.

The idea may be dumb and sentimental (I’m sure Sherlock is mocking me right now) but I thought it’d be nice to have a piece, albeit small, of Baker Street to hold close to your heart, however many tens, hundreds or thousands of miles separate you from 221b.

ALSO INCLUDED IN GIVEAWAY!

Because a tiny vial is hardly enough!

Sweets! A large Cadbury’s chocolate bar and a Curly Wurly.

Your very own Jawn- a WWF hedgehog plush toy (my cat took a liking to him, so I’ve saved him and tried my best to de-fur him; sorry if he has the traces of Dave’s affection on him!!)

A smiley beanie ball; brilliant for throwing at walls when boredom ensues. Also saves on extra rent due to bullet holes. (my cat also liked this.. I’ve de-furred it too)

A 221b keychain (purchased at the Sherlock Holmes museum)

A chocolate medal, awarded for assistance to detective Sherlock Holmes (also purchased at the museum.)

Union Jack tissues

A medium Union Jack flag

A cute double-decker bus necklace

Wendy and friends- mustache paper clips

An ‘I ♥ London’ sticker and a ‘Baker Street’ road-sign sticker

I was also thinking I might draw something, but I’m not sure anyone would want anything handrawn by a mediocre artist. I’d be willing to throw in some sketches though, if the winner wanted! [examples here]

THE RULES

It is not necessary to follow me, but I’d be honoured if you chose to anyway! I may alter the giveaway (add more, tweak the end date, ect.) so make sure you have a way of finding out!

Likes and reblogs count, but i’m going to have to limit it to 3 reblogs per day, purely to avoid dash take-overs.

Your blog must be active. I will be checking back through the archive to see if it’s not been created to boost your chances.

I’ll need to send it, so obviously I’ll be requiring an address. Also, I can’t say how long it’ll take to get the funds to ship it, especially if the winner resides outside of Europe. Bear with me!

This giveaway will be active until 15th of July (favourite number orz), and end at 9pm GMT (4pm EST).

The winner will be picked at random, on one of those number thingys, so it’s completely fair. Good Luck, and thanks once again!

Wed, 23 May 2012 10:03:53 -0400

wearsherlock:

If you follow our blog you’ll probably have seen that on May 25th our recreation of the H.O.U.N.D shirt seen in Sherlock series 2 goes on sale at qwertee.com for 2 days! Because there is only a 48 hour window in which to buy the shirt we want as many people to know about it as possible so they don’t miss out on the chance to grab themselves one. The shirt is currently available in colour at our RedBubble store but the vintage black and white version will only ever be sold on Qwertee so this really is your only chance to get one!

So what better way to spread the word than a giveaway! And this will certainly be our shortest running giveaway ever as you only have until the 26th of May to reblog (which is only three days away!)

To enter
1. Reblog (as many times as you like). Likes don’t count.
2. You do not have to be following wearsherlock

We will ship worldwide.
Shipping is of course free.

The winners will be selected on Saturday May 26th at 3pm (GMT). We will post the winners on the blog at 3.30pm and you MUST send us your address and size preference before 10pm or we will give your shirt to somebody else. This is because we will need to send the shirt to you within the times of the qwertee sale.

(If you don’t want to take your chances the shirt will be available to buy for just £8/$12 on the 25th-26th of May so keep an eye on qwertee.com over the weekend!)

deftmegalodon:

This is from a conversation I had with a friend at a Sherlockan meetup concerning this image from Simon Pegg’s tweet, and it’s subsequent Amuuurica!Cumberbatch memes.

He said something about waiting for some lesbian to create a Cumberbatch as Rosie the Riveter image. I decided to challenge accept that.

Mon, 21 May 2012 11:57:07 -0400

weaponizedwit:

I am burdened with glorious purpose.

To say thank you to my followers and to celebrate The Avengers’ success, I have decided to do a giveaway.

This is my bargain.

ONE medium sized box (approx 11” x 8.5” x 5.5”) full of Avengers/Marvel toys and merchandise.

How desperate are you?

You can reblog this post a MAXIMUM of THREE times. Likes also count.

Following me does not increase your chances of winning, so please don’t feel compelled to do so unless you just really enjoy an insane amount of Tom Hiddleston all over your dash.

Yes, I will ship anywhere in the world.

Please make sure your ask box is open so I can contact you if you win. I would hate to have to choose someone else.

Stalling won’t change anything.

You have ONE WEEK from today. The giveaway ends Saturday, 26 May.

In the end, it will be every man for himself…good luck.

Fri, 18 May 2012 18:23:57 -0400

areyoutryingtodeduceme:

YOU GUYS NEARLY 11,000 OF YOU PUT UP WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. You guys listen to more of my crap than my own boyfriend generally does. That deserves rewarding. So this is an extra SPECIAL tea give away, and there will be THREE winners. Oh my god. Want a chance to become one of those lucky three people? Read on and follow directions.

THE PRIZES:

First Place Prize: A set of all seven Sherlock Shipper tea blends [Sherlock/Moriarty, Sherlock/Irene, Moriarty/Moran, Mycroft/Lestrade, Lestrade/John, Lestrade/Molly, Molly/Moriarty]

Second Place Prize: A set of all four* Avengers Teas [Thor, Loki, Steve Rogers, and Coulson *and possibly also Tony Stark if I make a tea for him soon]

Third Place Prize: A set of all three Doctor Who Teas [The TARDIS, Amy Pond, and Rory]

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE PRIZE PACKS: Each winner will get ONE blend specially created for them. It can be a character or ship or show or book or whatever that I haven’t done that they’d like me to do. It can even be a blend made based on THEM. Whatever the winners would like. They each get to request one, and they will receive it with their other teas.

I MIGHT ADD TO THESE PRIZES. If this gets reblogged like, a lot, or something, I might lose my head and also send the winners mugs to go with their tea. Or a book. WE’LL SEE.

THE RULES:

Anyone ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD can enter EXCEPT AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND!! I am SUPER sorry for my followers down under because not only do you have to put up with terrifying wild life, you can’t even allow tea to be imported to help comfort you. Sorry, there’s like, crazy laws and stuff.

You do not have to be following me to win, but it might be helpful to keep track of updates or changes (if any). Plus I plan to make some blends for other fandoms in the future, so if tea is your thing, it might not be a bad idea?

Only two reblogs a day allowed.I did not realize how often people would reblog my last big give away soooo I’m going to enforce this LOL. You can reblog on as many days as you’d like, but yeah, only 2 reblogs a day please. I’ll be checking.

LIKES DON’T COUNT. Sorry! You have to reblog!

The give away will end and I will choose the winners on FRIDAY JUNE 1ST. I’ll probably do the drawing late at night on that day, so I’m going to say I’ll stop counting reblogs at 10 p.m. EST. Winners may not be announced until the next day or so, just to be aware!

Here’s how the winners will be selected: Just like all of my other give aways, I’ll compile a spreadsheet or numbered list of all of the reblogs, and I’ll use the number generator on random.org to chose a number and find the corresponding username on the list. The first number I draw will win the first place prize (or, if they are more into Avengers or Doctor Who, they may chose one of the other prizes). Second number I draw will win the second place prize (or a choice between whatever two packs remain), and the third number drawn will receive the last prize!

“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME”

You’re walking down Baker Street. There’s no one around and your phone is dead. Out of the corner of your eye you spot him: “Greg Lestrade”. He’s following you, about 30 feet back, he gets down on all fours like the Hound of Baskerville—he’s gaining on you! GREG LESTRADE. You’re looking for 221b but you’re all turned around! He’s almost upon you now and you can see there’s BLOOD on his face! My Godtiss there’s blood everywhere! Running from your life from GREG LESTRADE. He’s brandishing a badge. It’s GREG LESTRADE. Lurking in Londooon. Detective Inspector GREG LESTRADE. Living in the shadows. GREG LESTRADE. Going on vacation. GREG LESTRADE. Finding all the bodddiiiiiiesss. Actual Psychopath GREG LESTRADE. Now it’s dark, and you’ve seen to have lost him. But you’ve hopelessly lost yourself. Stranded with a detective. You creep silently around St. Barts. Ah-Ha! In the distance, there’s 221b with it’s light on! JOHN! You move stealthily toward it. But DAMN YOUR LEG! Ahh! Moran blew it off! Getting a cane! Deduce deduce. Limping into the flat. Deduce deduce. Now you’re on the doorstep. Sitting inside is GREG LESTRADE. Playing on his phone. GREG LESTRADE. But he doesn’t hear you enter. GREG LESTRADE. You’re sneaking up behind himmm. Strangling Detective GREG LESTRADE. Fighting for your life with GREG LESTRADE. Using your cane on GREG LESTRADE. VATICAN CAMEOS! Safe at last from GREG LESTRADE. You limp back to Baker Street, blood oozing form your damn leg. But you’ve won. You have beaten GREG LESTRADE.
