>>634 BTW the comments on those articles are interesting. I know that anyone who comments on an Internet article is to a degree "invested" in the story (to use that hideous word). But they are perhaps less of the fandom than Celebitchy regulars or (gasp!) us, and without any of the truly exhaustive analysis in which we have engaged, they have concluded: the engagement ended because THEO were shagging on set; they then milked whatever was going on for all it was worth while ISTL looked like it might be a thing; now ISTL is a dead duck, so is the relationship. I would say that if this is the consensus outside the fandom, it has harmed TH's image.
