I wonder...

katikatI wonder how the mods of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spnnewsletter choose what to include into their NL and what not *scratches head* I mean, sometimes it feels like all they include are their friends' entries. Just like today - or was it last night for most of the fans? Some girl posted the ratings for the latest airing of SPN. Three days later. With demos only. And this entry was news-worthy. When other people - not just me but folks in the comms too - posted the ratings on Friday already, demos and viewers and retention rates included. Boggles the mind really.
To set things clear - I'm not bashing anybody or anything. It's their comm and they can do with it what they want. They can't be everywhere and know everything, that's obvious, the SPN fandom is HUGE. But the rules for what they do include and don't include are kinda blurry, to be honest. I know that because I posted like 10 fics in thesupernaturalfic comm and there were only like 3 of them in the NL. And one of those times I asked them to include my fic in their NL. But when they missed my fics for the 3rd and 4th time, I ceased to bother, really.
Me whining? Nope, I'm not. To be honest, I could care less if I'm there or not. I know that being non-native English speaker, my fics aren't that good, I don't need any ego stroking. It just really boggles my mind how they decide what's news-worthy and what not *scratches head*
I see people stating resolutely, "I have no sympathy for demons". Right. But for me, knowing that people who go to hell become demons changes everything. Because Dean will become a demon one day too. Not every one of those who went to hell was a bad person when alive. There are shades of grey...
ETA: I find those Nicky Aycox vs. Katie Cassidy debates funny. People obviously adored Aycox. I definitely did NOT. I find the actress yucky. She looks like she's permanently sucking lemons and thinking disgusting thoughts. Too affected for my liking.
