Let's talk television. I don't watch a lot of tv anymore, but there are a few current shows that I enjoy to varying degrees. What do you love, hate, never miss? I want to know. :)

Spoiler free for the upcoming seasons, because I prefer to watch things unfold without knowing about it ahead of time, but anything that happened last season is fair game for discussion. You have been warned. :)  Also, if you love spoilers and have been eating them up all summer, I ask that you please don't share them here, because I wanna be surprised. :)  Thanks!

What am I missing, peeps?  What are you guys looking forward to on tv in the upcoming year?
 

There's been some talk lately about "self-pimping", and since it's out there I wanted to discuss that and a related issue. Check out Mosh's post if you want to read a bit more about that. We've all done it, to some degree or another, but self-pimping makes me extremely uncomfortable. If you publicly tell me you want me to read your fic, then I either have to publicly ignore the request, or publicly respond to it. Bit of a rock and hard place situation for me - what am I supposed to do if I don't care for your fic, or think it's utterly unreadable? I won't lie - and by asking me in the open, you've taken away my option to "not say anything at all, if I can't say anything nice".

I'm just not comfortable with it, and I'd rather not be forced into that position at all.

The related issue is that of people asking me to review their work. Most of you know that I work as a writer, and that I have worked as an editor in the past. And if you're here on my journal, that's probably because you enjoy my writing. Which is yay, great! :) But...
