Grrr. Arrgh.

Okay, maybe I'm a weirdo but I take the whole editing thing pretty seriously. I make every effort to make the information on this site as correct adn timely as possible. That said, I just petitioned for creation of a new show, The Dresden Files (a pilot is scheduled to air this summer on Sci-Fi). I had known about this project for some time, but held off until I found an official announcement (and even then did some more digging to be sure that they were definitely planning on taking it into a series). So the show was created (very quickly I might add, a tip of the hat to emaldalani) and I began entering data. I entered the people who I was sure were cast and were going to be series stars, entered the producers I was sure of and the creator, and then created the first episode (in rough form) so that I could enter the people I knew would be in the show but didn't know for sure would be stars. This morning, the episode I created still hasn't been approved but I got messages saying that some of my other entries were. I go to the show page and... someone has entered every scrap of information that was on IMDB (not always the most reliable source) and entered every single person who has been cast as a series star. First of all, I'm annoyed that points were snaked from me (not that the person who entered the info knew that) but I'm mostly annoyed because this seems reckless and rash. We have no idea at this point who will be a series regular, who will be a star, and who will be a one-shot or occasional appearance. The problem is that I have no way of knowing that they definitely will not be series stars, so I have no justification to have the names removed. Of course, as of this morning the show didn't even appear in the search engine, so I'm not even sure how anyone found it. It's all just so irksome. :( Otherwise, however, my day is going well, with one exception. That, however, should probably be a blog of its own. Hurdy gur, -Marc
