The 35th Precinct

If I get one more "review" for my other fics that consists of, "This is nice, but when are you going to finish SLS?", I'm going to choke a bitch. It's not unreasonable to ask the question, but there are more appropriate forums for such queries. Like email or PM, both of which are accessible through FF.net. Do not disrespect the time and effort I've put into my more recent fics by asking about others in their space. I'd rather someone tell me my fic was a steaming pile of monkey shit than ignore it altogether.

In other news, the spoiler section of Your Tax Dollars at Work got slapped by CBS' lawyers. The mods haven't said why, but I've my suspicions, of course. Some of those spoilers were incredibly detailed and resembled chunks of script. NO doubt CBS is wondering which of their employees has been leaking the goods and is attempting to quash said leak. If so, I can't blame them.

However, I hope that quashing a leak of intellectual property onto the Internet doesn't turn into a wholesale ban on any spoilers or set gossip. Chewing the fat of spoilers is part of TV fandom's appeal for many, and in some cases, the revelation of a juicy spoiler can rekindle waning interest in a show. Interest in CSI:NY was in a tailspin on Talk until the revelation that Mac and Danny were to be in a heap of trouble in the last four episodes, and now we're on tenterhooks. Folks who were unequivocally on the way out of the fen have adopted a wait-and-see approach. Timely spoilers have bought the writers time to recapture the interest of a drifting fanbase. In short, spoilers can be a useful tool when used in skillful moderation.


And lastly, some happiness. Someone on TalkCSI posted these pictures of Eddie Cahill, dressed as Flack, interrogating the Stanley Cup. Someone called him an unselfconscious loon. I prefer joie de vivre. If everyone were as happy in their life as he seems to be in his, this world would be a kinder place by far. Roll in that manly fangirling, Eddie!
