When a fandom catches my attention, I can never tell whether it's going to be a passing fancy or something that blossoms into obsession. If it does go the obsession route, I don't know how to determine if the flame is going to burn out quickly or if it will last a while. So this might well be fleeting but, having fallen through a worm hole and come out the other side in 2006 (my brand "new" laptop is a refurbished Toshiba from that year), I seem to be enraptured with Eyeshield 21. It started because there is not enough Miyano Mamoru to satisfy in the current season, so I've been trying to get my hands on everything he's done that I've missed.
Anyhow, I've been scouring the internets for Eyeshield 21 fic, as you do. Usually I skip headers when I'm reading; the main exception is when I'm new and want to avoid spoilers. So I skimmed the headers on this one fic and here's what I saw:
"Spoilers: for when Character A does This Thing Later in the Series"
--in which Character A was spelled out, along with the thing he does later in the series.
Wha-? Whyyyyy?
On the other hand, maybe this is like that time the girl at AX told me a certain character dies at the end of his anime. I was so enraged I couldn't watch the anime for a while. Finally I watched it--and he didn't die.Then I watched the movie and kind of wished everyone had died, but oh well.
This is about the four hundred and seventy-second time I've gotten an eyeful of spoiler while attempting to find fanworks. Obviously I'm doing it wrong--but how do I do it rite?
