Nostalgia

[a_h_c]

So, I read today that Television Without Pity is being put out to pasture.  That makes me somewhat sad.  I mean, I had stopped reading a long time ago (I think around the time of the big buy-out) when the shows they were covering just didn't seem to match up with my viewing any more, but my hubby and I used to read constantly and laugh and laugh.  The saddest thing is the the archives won't be available any more.  There were just so many classic recaps.  And the VM forum is where I first even discovered such a thing as fanfic (Holding the Curve by __tiana__ to be specific was the one that hooked me and sent me spinning off into hours lost at my computer).  And that's where we first "met" Sars and Pamie and Jacob and Heather and Jessica and all the rest.  I'm sure mastermia is mourning with me, if she knows.  Even though we had parted, it was nice to know it was always there.  I had visited recently to find something and there are just good memories.  R.I.P., TWoP.  You gave us a really good time.  And some absolutely great snark.  There will soon be a hole in the fandom universe, I think.
