Ratings and Riptide

[katikat]

Okay, ratings first... *cracks knuckles*

Smallville (repeat) 1.80 mil. viewers, 0.7/2
Reaper (repeat) 1.53 mil., 0.6/2 (compare with Tue 1.81 mil., 0.7/2)
Lost (repeat) 5.18 mil., 1.6/4
Lost (new) 12.85 mil., 5.4/13

So yeah, Reaper is doing way better on Tue. Way to go, CW. I just hope that this experiment of theirs won't tank the show completely. I know that some of my friends like the show a lot :)

How come that there is only one lousy (and very small) fanfic archive for Riptide? *grumbles* I mean, come on! I know that this show is old but it screams SLASH much more than - for example - Starsky and Hutch! Even ff.net disappointed me this time! Where are the fics, slash or gen, for this great, awesome series? *pouts*

Knew it'd be even less than what you predicted. Just knew it.

Hehe, I thought that they would start airing new episodes. I just don't get why they put in repeats. So now, there are repeats of Reaper twice a week and two eps of Pussycat Dolls. Yes, that's the way to bring in new viewers. Sheesh *shakes head*

OH MY GAWD!!! THAT'S A RIPTIDE ICON.

(I thought I knew all like five girls in the fandom)

IT IS! IT IS! X)

I've been re-watching some old favorite shows these days - Persuaders, Hardcastle & McCormick, Riptide... It's too bad that there are so few Riptide fics though *pouts* So so not fair X(

I've written two riptide stories. And if you want, I just happen to know people who are actively writing in Riptide. I know the stories are posted to LJ first and it takes a while for them to make it to the archive.

Yus! Gimme gimme! *grabby hands* XP

If you could point me towards some other fans/writers, I would very much appreciate it :)

Well, here's the stuff I have written so far.

There is also some worthwhile Riptide fic here.... it is supposed to be gen I think but to my mind it is full on pre-slash, lots of h/c... here http://hometown.aol.com/sheri1207/riptide/riptide.htm

I dont know whose site this is or who these authors are but i know these stories (or some of them) are in the gen zines by neon rainbow

Personal faves are Storm at Ebbtide and Masks. Enjoy!

And I'm totally looking forward to your test_pilot!Nick fic.....

Okay that's it! *bounce*
