Okay, MR's comments on Middle Earth are just cracking me up. "Smallville's a lot like Middle Earth because of it's mystery and it's abundance of freaks. Now, Smallville's completely unlike Middle Earth because there's no teen angst in Middle Earth.... at least I don't think so." Man, I want to see this special. Wonder if we'll get it?

This also made me crack up:




The Weasley Boy Marriage Quiz made by Sapphire.

Fred? Seriously? I would have thought I was more of a Percy gal. Okay, maybe I'm a bit more like Percy, than likely to date him, but still...

I used to be into spoilers, but lately... I get sick of seeing episodes months afterwards, and it does take out some of the fun for me.

Plus, I get excited and accidentally tend to tell people who don't want to know...

I get so into the fic side of a fandom that the spoilers just happen. It's gotten so that I find I've read all about a show before I've even seen a single ep. Happened with Once A Thief and The Sentinel, then I found I liked knowing beforehand so I actively look for spoilers now with more recent shows.

I'll try not to let anything slip... :-/

Don't stress too much. I think it's also a reaction to SV fic. Originally got into it because of Te's Oz/Lex fic in, like, November 2001. Started reading, and read a lot of SV fics before SV even screened. The problem is that if I read too many fics before getting a good idea of the series for myself, my canon becomes very tainted by fanon. You start to see the show in the way that others have described it... (Hence, only reading TWoP recaps after I've seen the ep. Otherwise, I get recapper snark stuck in my mind while watching.)

Happened with Gundam Wing. Read hoards of fic, when I finally saw it, I was so disappointed (that was partly caused by the bad subbing, too). It put me off the fandom altogether.

Hence, I'm trying not to get too spoiled. But SV fandom is huge, and it's impossible to avoid some spoilers... and other you come across just because you want to read a particular fic. I don't know... Knowing me, I'll probably get a bit SV deprived over the break and start checking spoilers anyway...

Hey, who said I have to be consistent?
