Oh, how darkly ironic this post is. I am the Spoiler Queen: I never care when a plot development or a death or anything is spoiled for me, and I am always spoiling them for others.

But I don’t want people to tell me whether characters will or won’t get together. I wouldn’t dream of telling anyone that about my books.

I like to sit around wanting people to be together! I went to the X-Files movie SEVERAL TIMES hoping that damn bee wouldn’t sting her and they would kiss. (It’s possible my grasp on how movies work is not, you know, as firm as it could be.) I like to HOPE and WONDER and watch the developments with interest. It’s possible I won’t even care about the destination (I sure didn’t with the X-Files, I wandered right off eventually) but I enjoy the journey. 

It’s about the journey: I read a ton of romance novels not because I don’t basically know who’ll get together, but because I wish for the journey. And to be able to KEEP HOPE ALIVE. Telling people ‘you are not going to get the thing you want’ seems counterproductive to me.

Which is a long way of saying: Quit it, Revenge and Teen Wolf. Quit it! Stop telling me: you only sadden me by so doing.

… yes I suppose I could avoid all creator commentary but I think creator commentary is interestin’ (obviously since I… make it all the time…) and anyway I have no impulse control.
