Slate suggests that CSI might be the most fanfic-generative show on TV.
Say wha?
I understand the need for a hook for a story, and I have no beef with anyone who does write and/or read CSI fic, but that's just annoying ignorance. (OK, when I checked on ff.net, CSI was a lot closer to the top of the list than I thought it would be, but even assuming ff.net is a good bellwether for overall numbers, Buffy beats it by an order of magnitude, and the Slate story's links to two archives with a total of about 300 stories between them does not help persuade me.) I'd be interested in a story about Grissom's attractiveness, but not a story that has to get its punch by making up an exclusivity/preeminence that doesn't exist.

I've read two, count them two, good pieces of C.S.I fanfic. And not just because I was looking exclusively for my pairing but because so much of it is just horrible.
300 whole stories! WOW! THAT'S AMAZING! ((eye roll))
