30 Days of Telly Meme - Day 02

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching: Spooks

I think I'm supposed to pick something relatively unknown, but the amount of people who aren't watching Spooks when it's on seems to be shocking. Not non-UK people, obviously, but Brits when it's on TV every autumn. I mean, if you like your TV relatively fluffy, fair enough, but otherwise why not?

(Of course, this is totally hypocritical, given the things I miss through laziness, forgetfulness, addiction to writing fanfic, and scheduling that's too late for a morning person like me.)

But the meme did ask.

Fic: It's Me or the Muffin

I wasn’t very well today and spent a lot of it lying about not doing much and watching The West Wing (when I had the energy). And I’ve come to the conclusion (all but 3 eps from the end of S3) that I’m not sure it will ever give me the entertaining trainwreck that would be actual Sam/Ainsley, and, after all the random encounters every six episodes or so, I want the trainwreck. So I wrote this. Half my brain wasn’t working and I know pretty much nothing about Democrats and Republicans, so I made it mostly about muffins. Not that I know much about muffins, either. I’ll write everything I was supposed to be writing and catch up properly when I have a brain again. It may comfort people to know that enforced inactivity also got me to work out an awkward UNIT-related plot point. Or not.

(No spoilers. Except for there being characters called Sam and Ainsley, and that nothing like this has happened so far, sadly. Sorry.)
