The Ink-Pot and the Palette

I think my fandom experience was ineradicably warped by my first fandom having ended 20 years before I dipped a toe into it, and I'm actually kind of dischuffed about writing Revenge fics when I know I'm almost certain to get jossed.

However, I'm pretty sure that network shows and PBS turn up either on Hulu or on their own Website within days of broadcast, it's just premium cable that holds out. Admittedly, I want to catch up with Mad Men, Homeland, and Breaking Bad sooner or later, but I'm OK about waiting. Perhaps because none of these has a real fandom.

ETA: I haven't been arsed to find out how Hulu Plus works, but that might also offer a usable model.
