Examples
“(There is, for example, an enormous genre of fan-made visual art depicting Sherlock Holmes as an anthropomorphic tuna: collectively, Tunalock. It would confuse⟳ Sidney Paget, but I find⟳ it hilarious and rejoice in its existence.)”
“If the proponents of Tunalock (Holmes and Watson are fishes) or Farmlock (cows), the fans who post⟳ pictures of Martin Freeman on Tumblr and the devotees of crossover fanfic, want⟳ to claim⟳ the name⟳ of Sherlockians, they are welcome⟳ to it.”
“Perhaps the strangest AU is tunalock, with Sherlock as a fish⟳ wearing a scarf.”
