Anybody else excited about Shayne?

If I wanted reality for entertainment, I'd turn on the news. There, I could find no end of the reality of humanity. If you think "Survivor" or any of its ilk are in any way, shape, or form related to reality then your suspension of disbelief goes further than that required for a soap opera. Fantasy is a cornerstone of human creativity. Sure, it's still fantasy. But it's in our dreams of what could be that we find what we can create. Soap operas aren't reality, they're not meant to be reality. At their best they are a form of analogy to help us understand ourselves a little better. At their worst, they're cheap entertainment. They're not everybody's cup of tea, but they do fill a niche in some people's lives. For me, soap operas are a connection. Not just to the characters on the screen, but to the history attached to watching the show. Unlike a lot of programming, soap operas long history allows them to be something that is shared by generations. My family is no different. And as a writer, I'm sorry you don't feel my work is worthy of your time, but others do.
