Never before have I come across so many links to spoilers for the same thing and not felt the slightest temptation to click on them.

I'm bored. Everywhere I go on the net it's either HP or s4 of SGA.

The only archive I go to for Due South fic is a pain in the ass. The search function works pretty well, but the fic writers don't do a very good job of putting pertinent information in. S1,2 had Ray Vecchio. S3 had Ray Kawalsky. Some fic writers put in Ray in their summary as if I'm suppose to know which Ray they're talking about. For some fans it seems there was only one Ray.

In a way I feel like there was only one Ray on DS, but if I had written a fic and put it on the archive I would be sure to indicate which Ray was in my fic. For one thing if people wanted to find Ray Vecchio only (like me) they'd know my fic was the one to read. And if they didn't want to read fic with Ray Vecchio they'd know my fic was not the one to read.

I'm sorry - I feel your pain. :)

What archive do you go to?

I've been going here (http://www.squidge.org/dsa/archive/quicksearch.html) for years. It's not updated much anymore and when it is it's mostly Fraser/Kawalsky slash or gen fic.

I was just recently going to it to look for some older fic that was gen with Vecchio, but like I said a lot of people put Ray in the summary as if whichever Ray they like is the only Ray.

I wondered if that wasn't it. I've been there myself recently looking for some season 1 gen fic. Didn't have much luck. :(
