I heard a rumor from Ground Control

[caranfindel]

I'm supposed to be posting a pic-heavy review of last night's Supernatural episode today, but since that's STILL NOT HAPPENING (stupid hiatus) I think I'll follow the lead of some of my flisties and try to make a weekly post anyway.

What's going on?



1. I've suddenly found myself in a world that has neither David Bowie nor Alan Rickman in it and I'm not happy about that. Dammit.

2. I was looking forward to reading everything in the sammybigbang but not planning on writing anything, when suddenly this morning I thought of how I want to rework the fic that's been stalled for months, but can I do it? Can I come up with a decent draft in two days? Which is actually more like two hours, since I can only do it during my lunch hour? Probably not. Dammit.

3. I stepped back into Tumblr (which I'd been avoiding because spoilers but I can't help it, it's so pretty {strokes its hair}) and I'm spoiled now. In a minor way, and it's something I could have guessed anyway, but still. Always disappointed in myself when that happens. Dammit.

4. Freaking Yahoo spoiled me too, not about the next episode (I think) but about a guest star later in the season. Dammit.

5. My foot itches and I'm wearing boots. Dammit.



Well, that was exciting! I'm sure next week's post will be infinitely better, and with fewer things to say "dammit" about. And if not, at least there will be pretty pics. :-D

(Oh God, I hope I didn't just jinx myself.)

You can submit an indecent Sammy BB draft - there's no word limit (2-3k will do, the modly mod said so!)

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Indecent draft... heh heh.

I don't even know if I can come up with 2k, but I'll try!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

You are me. *eyes indecent Sammybang draft*

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

You can doooo eeet.... I want a chance at snaffling your fic and arting for you. *big wink*

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO ART FOR ME. SO MUCH. But I don't think this one's gonna happen. :-( Maybe we can work something else out!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there will be other opportunities...

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

I am trying valiantly to be unspoiled from here on out! I enjoy things better that way. So I'll be prowling tumblr, peeking through my fingers if at all.

Can't help you with the foot thing...

Twitter's a bastard for spoilers too - I inadvertently saw a fucking humungous one for next week's episode yesterday. And it was from some official site too, not a random fan tweet. Grrrr.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty much unspoiled for next week! (I mean, pics flew by but I sorta squinted and scrolled on) so I HOPE I'll still be pleasantly surprised!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I saw a few pics from the epi which were ok, squintable and nothing I wouldn't have expected, this other thing was right in ya face, once seen can't be forgotten, unavoidable headline announcement with bloody big photo to reinforce the damn point and really something I'd have deeply wanted to have been surprised by. Effing CW idiots.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Okay, for THAT I'm unspoiled! So SSSSHHHHHH. :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Not a whisper from me! And I think you will have a very enjoyable surprise out of it.

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

NO ONE MAY POST SPOILERS IN MY COMMENTS. YOU MAY ADMIT KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE OUT THERE. THAT IS ALL.

(I know you weren't going to, amberdreams. Just saying.)

I had to stop following the official Twitter for the show because they kept posting spoilers. It's maddening. I wonder how the writers feel about it? Like, the dark Charlie episode last season was obviously supposed to be a big surprising reveal at the beginning of the episode, and yet it had already been spoiled on Twitter. I'd be furious.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Either Bob Singer or Jim Michaels said at a Con that the CW marketing guys keep stuffing up the show by putting stuff into trailers and promos that they'd all been keeping quiet. I think they do manage to put their feet down occasionally - like keeping Matt Cohen's reappearance out of view before that recent episode, but most of the time they can't control what the network sees fit to release. I refuse to watch trailers now because they are either too revealing or just plain misleading.

I think I know the guest star spoiler thing...dammit! (stupid facebook fanpage. I need to learn to stay away!) I also saw a photo for next weeks ep, not all that spoilery, I think I could have guessed it, but still! I must make myself learn.

And you can do the sammybigbang draft for that date - I know you can! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Last year I was spoiled for a recurring guest star because he posted about it. I wish he could have kept quiet until after the ep.

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Absolutely - surprise guest stars are the best kind of guest stars!

[indiachick.livejournal.com]

I'm not spoiled about the next episode at all - now I know what to stay away from. (EVERYTHING that isn't LJ; good luck, self.) I'm submitting a terribly indecent sammybigbang draft! Literally wrote whatever I have of it in two days. I'm so excited because it finally feels like I'm writing something :/ But point being, YOU CAN DO EEET. Sorry about the boots, hate it when that happens.

[brightly-lit.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, boot itch. The worst is when it hits while you're driving, though. On the highway.

Alan Rickman and David Bowie. Man. :-(

Yahoo, seriously? UGH. THAT IS SO LAME. >:( No place on the Internet is safe, boo. (I still think about your Pinterest spoiler scandal. PINTEREST.)

Regardless of the excitement of this post (this has been a rough Internet week, what with all of the cultural icon deaths and general January malaise!), I loved seeing it, and I love reading your posts always. I'm very much on board with this post-weekly thing y'all are trying out, and I hope to see it continue! I LOVE SEEING EVERYONE AROUND LOTS. <3
