This morning, I was rummaging through my parent's closet and found some Christmas presents (yes, they were in the same place they are every year, but that's beside the point) and I took a sneak peek at them. Some were for my brother, but what I saw for me made me very happy.
After I finished looking through the presents, I returned to my room only to think "Wow, I really wish I hadn't looked through that stuff. Now not everything is going to be a surprise."
Spoilers remind me of this same dilemma. I ALWAYS want to look at the spoilers, but I know that if I do, then the episode will be spoiled and I will be disappointed in myself for not having the self-control to just leave it alone and find out what happens the way everyone should--when the episode is on television.
I have tried to fight the urge to look at spoilers, but sometimes it is just more than i can handle. For example, when most television stops running over the summer, when the first spoilers come out for my favorite shows, I automatically memorize them and am very happy for the time being. But when the episode actually comes, and I know everything that happens...it really isn't fun.
I am going to try to limit my viewing of spoilers, just so that I won't ruin an entire year of television, like I did last year. And I'm NOT going to go back into my parents' closet looking for my presents. I'll enjoy that Christmas morning.

Do you ever find when you make a spot it is always you adding all the time with the odd add from another user? That even when you get over 100 fans to the spot its can still be just you adding all the time. Till one day you can't add any more or you don't want to. I have found this a problem with a few of my spots where it is just me adding page after page of videos and links.
So basicly this is just me asking every fan please just go to a spot that hasnt been updated in a while and just add one thing to it please !!! (and i know this sounds like a charity advert lol)

By the way this is my first soapbox
Ok, I usually don't make user guides but this one needs to be made. I have seen a lot of picks and a lot of them are boring or annoying. Here is a list of steps to help you out.
1. Try to have more than three answers if possible. If the question is "Who should Jim be with?" Put, Karen and Pam, and then put an answer like neither or Katy.
2.Always have pictures for the question if it isn't a yes, no, or maybe question. Pictures bring in more fans and make the picks more interesting.
3. Try to ask questions that people haven't already asked and questions that people will be interested in. Don't make it boring.
Now these are the three golden steps to making a good, quality pick on fanpop. If you feel I need to add anything, then please leave it in the comments.
