This is why I should not read spoilers (or take two plus years to finish stories... probably the latter). Once again, beaten to the punch. Maybe I'll just.. just... finish my novel before the episode airs. That'll show 'em!

(Yeah, not happening).

I feel your pain. But hey, sometimes spoilers are wrong! I can still recall a spoiler about a particular SG-1 episode's final scene that was completely and absolutely erroneous. And then I was terribly worried that "The Kindred" would make my fics AU, based on spoilers (and speculation), but it didn't.

And if your story or novel ends up AU, it's not your fault. We'll know that.

I am really trying to kick spoilers because they've ruined so many episodes of multiple shows. Brilliant Husband has now been instructed not to let me watch Torchwood previews. Of course, Saturday I told him to let me watch anyway, but that's because I'd already been spoiled by blurbs (in TV Guide, I think). I managed not to watch any previews for SGA's "Last Man."

It is annoying, though, when interviews get posted and one has to decide whether to read them and get spoiled, or wait and probably forget about them by the time the spoilers won't ruin anything.

I thought that my time fic was going to be jossed by The Last Man, but it turned out that mine is so far different that I can still write it (and Jayne Perry has kindly agreed to co-write it with me, though I suspect it won't be finished before Christmas!!).

If it's just the general idea that is the same/similar then it might not be so bad. And you could always state that you started it before episode 'X' was shown - or in this case, before season 3/4 was shown let alone season 5 anyway!!! I've read fics that have stated that sort of thing before, and the similarities are often not as bad as the author feels they are!

So, don't panic just yet...and stay away from those spoilers!!
