\"kara__s_evil_bunnies\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is why I don’t watch new shows.<\/p>\n

No not because of the bunnies, that’s inevitable.<\/p>\n

No because most of the time I end up wanting to shank the writers. \u00a0 I could actually go full on rant about the quality of TV and Movies these days and the writers and showrunners who are being paid way to much money for shit … but I’ll hold back.<\/p>\n

For now.<\/p>\n

Last time a showrunner decided to take out my favorite character … yeah okay, Rory wanted to leave the show, which lets face it was a very smart idea considering the train wreck CSI: Miami became … surprise solar eclipse my ass … oh wait that would be the ranting on stupid ass showrunners and writers.<\/p>\n

Sorry I got distracted.<\/p>\n

Last time my favorite character died in a stupid premise (because he obviously\u00a0didn’t\u00a0learn his\u00a0lesson about cleaning his gun after he got shot the first time) Sylum was born.<\/p>\n

12 Years later, I find myself in a similar predicament.<\/p>\n

I’m looking at you Person of Interest.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong the actors were amazing, even with the bad premise, they broke your heart – cause they are good at their jobs. \u00a0Writers not so much. \u00a0And don’t even give me the bullshit that this was always how they\u00a0intended to end the show.<\/p>\n

Bullshit.<\/p>\n

Calling it.<\/p>\n

Bullshit.<\/p>\n

And since\u00a0I’m usually the one who gets the calls to FIX-IT! after\u00a0the showrunners fuck up\u00a0our favorite series …\u00a0I’m finding myself once again snagging characters and saving them from the stupidity!<\/p>\n

Person of Interest – you had so much potential and so much of it was wasted.<\/p>\n

Two amazing characters that deserve so much more than they got. \u00a0So we gave them tickets for the Sylum Bus. \u00a0The dog and detectives snuck on board along with them. \u00a0 There has also been many AU story ideas running around – The Dragon series already has a few stories posted. \u00a0You have no idea how long it’s been since I’ve had other story ideas\/series\/fics running around – outside of Sylum.<\/p>\n

I’m horrified, awed, and buried under fluff.<\/p>\n

As for Sylum. \u00a0We had the whole timeline figured out, built backgrounds, even wrote\u00a0their wiki page until\u00a0one of them decided to kneecap their bio\u00a0and demanded\u00a0a different background. \u00a0Thank you very much, John Reese. \u00a0Take a lesson from Harold who graciously accepted\u00a0his timeline, then promptly\u00a0inserted himself into everything he could, via The Machine.<\/p>\n

We’ve hinted at some of the story ideas\u00a0a few times … and I think one of you figured it out.<\/p>\n

So let me introduce to you:<\/p>\n

\"Cjj1OEyUkAAQD7D.jpg-large\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Edmond Dant\u00e8s – The Count of Monte Cristo … aka John Reese<\/p>\n

Remember\u00a0those wonderful snippets you read over Advent – well most aren’t going to turn out like we expected … cause Count over here kneecapped his storyline and we’ve had to adjust a few of them.<\/p>\n

He’s still a Meridius and we all know what Meridii do when they get a tiny thread of a story. \u00a0Pointedly looks\u00a0at Nico – who still hasn’t shut the fuck up in the middle of Clan War… cause only he could pull off a Flashback in a Flashback with added sex.<\/p>\n

Just to be an awful tease … their will be a snippet from the\u00a0first story in the upcoming POI Series during Seven Days.<\/p>\n

And for an added bonus – keep an eye out on The General’s Office … I’m really really good with AUs \u00a0– no really I am, shocking I know – \u00a0expect to see a few new stories in upcoming weeks, in between Clan War, Sylum stories,\u00a0and trying not to melt in this heat.<\/p>\n
