WTF CBS?

AJ Cook is apparently going to be fired from Criminal Minds and Paget Breweter's role is being reduced. Supposedly for "financial reasons", which is the biggest load of crap I've heard from a network in a LOOOONG time.

I like Paget's Emily - she is competent and kickass and all those things, which are awesome. But Jennifer Jareau is ME. I don't think I could actually BE Emily, but JJ is someone who is also awesome, she's a mom, she does her job well, and she's still affected by the horrible things they see. She's the one tasked most often with dealing with the media and the victims' families, and brings it all to a human level that the profilers kind of don't have anymore.

I think the eps where she was on maternity leave show that the team is NOT THE SAME without her.

NOOOOOOOO. Well, CBS has already received an email from me this morning. It's a big fandom - hopefully it can mobilize on this.

eta: oh, and now they're saying it's a 'creative decision" and they're going to bring a new female castmember in at mid-season. Well, thanks so fucking much for NOTHING.

YAY!

After all the ridiculous bad news in fandom lately, it feels good to have GOOD NEWS.

I finally finished the draft for the V/Castle crossover!

Determined Spirits
Final tally: 31,000 words
(subject to some change after I go through it, but it's not going to get THAT much shorter)

I might have to do some kind of banner for it (anyone with more talent?) It seems like it should be part of some Weirdo Crossover Big Bang or something. hee.
