Signs of a new fandom obsession

doranwenWhen it comes to books/TV shows/movies, there is a big difference between enjoying/being fond of them and being a fan. I always know when it crosses that line for me--I start looking for fanfiction to read. *g*
The annoying thing is when it happens before I'm *done* watching/reading! Case in point is my latest obsession . . . Sue Thomas F.B.Eye. I *love* this show! (Of course, I always fall in love with shows that have long been canceled--the only exception was Smallville early on, and I actually left that fandom due to the direction the show was going.) It's got all kinds of drama (bomb threats, tense take-down scenes, dodging bullets, etc.--who knew being an FBI agent was so interesting?), humor (the lines they say are some of the best I've ever heard on ANY show, not to mention the characters play off each other very well), even tons of UST (which I'm finding to be irresistibly enticing, even more so than obvious romance--that's probably why I love the interplay between Jarod and Miss Parker so much--it might get me writing a fic someday if I feel I can *get* the characters enough--getting down the dialogue will be the toughest part for sure!).
So of course, I've already gone through ff.n for good fics--the tough part is picking fics that won't spoil me! I'm only partway through the 2nd season, roughly halfway through the show, and there's a lot to be spoiled on yet. (At least a lot of summaries warn that it's based on such-and-such an episode, and I know by the title whether I've seen it or not.) There are a couple more sites with Sue Thomas fanfic--but both of them require registration. I suppose I'll get around to those at some point, maybe when I finish watching . . .
Anyone else like this show? Because seriously . . . this is too good not to share.
My favorite lines of the moment are the following:
Myles: What happened?
Tara: You missed it. Jack and Sue got married.
Myles: I went out for a tuna sandwich, how long was I gone?
P.S. And to anyone out there who's wondering where I've been--well, I've been working, and in my spare time watching my way through Sue Thomas, obviously. LJ is next on my list to get to . . .
