You don't know me from Adam, but I found this and felt the urge to comment. Supernatural, oddly, is the show that made me *give up* the spoiler habit. When I was up to my ears in Buffy and then Angel, I wanted to know everything, sought it all out, was the spoiler-phile among my friends. Even that was a cyclic thing. I didn't always want to know what Buffy was going to do, and I only wanted to put off my guaranteed heartbreak with Angel. I was partly spoiled for the finale of Angel the Series, and, as powerful as Wes's death was, I felt the dilution of knowing beforehand. Now I am reveling in not knowing a thing about what's going to happen, theorizing and hypothesizing what's going to happen, praying for certain things to happen. It's fun.

I have fantasies of "being discovered" by Kripke or Whedon, too, and I'm in the same boat. I make a living doing a mundane thing, and all of my creative energy is spent in doing "art" for the shows I love. Who knows? Maybe EK or JW have seen my stuff, maybe not. While I'm waiting, I will continue the creative output. :)

Welcome, sockkpuppett! Glad to meet you!

Funny - I feel as if, with this little session, I'm embarking on the first phase of my 12-step program for recovery from spoiler addiction. I know the temptation will always be there, but I'm holding out for the satisfaction of letting Kripke and Company blindside and sucker-punch me with what happens to the boys in season three, and hopefully more seasons beyond. I'm glad to know that folk like you might be there as support for a recovering spoilerholic ... :)
