Oh, I snickered through that story.
"You'd rather fuck a horse than have gay sex," Sam said. "Yeah, and I'm the pervert."
Okay, maybe it needs to be read in context.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

What's hilarious to me is that a friendly aquaintance of mine had a somewhat similar argument during his fraternity initiation.

A very nice and wibble-inducing Incredibles fic.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, I love that one, Plei.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh that made me happy to read.
even though Dean was seventeen at the time and starting to talk less and less, making Sam work to hear what he wasn't saying.Thanks for linking, Plei.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Excellent.
The line "...it's like dancing or landing a ship. Until you actually do it, you just don't know." hits me in a particular soft spot.

Thanks. River has a great deal of knowledge, but she doesn't have an experiential framework to attach most of it to yet. But gaining impirical knowledge can be fun.

In the Boxed Sets discussion Beverly said "Heh. I continue to be giddy as more good writers fall to the thrall of SPN. Oddly, I seem incapable of writing a line of fiction anymore. But I read like a mofo, and I try to give decent feedback, just to pay my way in fandom."
Which got me to thinking, and I opened a Live Journal account of my very own. Because I've been devouring obscene amounts of SPN fanfic over the past two weeks or so, and I'd like to leave feedback for some of them. I've felt reticent, being new to this aspect of the fandom and all, but some of these stories are just really great. Are there general etiquette guidelines? For instance, I notice frequently people repost particular lines of dialogue that they like. A lot of the feedback is more or less the written equivalent of a pat on the back, but now and again you see a paragraph or two that's more thought out.
And most of the feedback seems to be dated soon after the story is first posted.... there's really no reason I can't add to the chorus several months later, is there?
