Cool, thanks for the heads up.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
surfacing briefly from 3-day orgy of nonstop SPN RPF crackfic featuring a cast of assorted chefs, hookers, teachers, schoolboys, mermaids, spies and God knows what else.
Holy crap. Why has nobody written a CWRPS (or whatever the hell it's called) version of The Princess Bride OR Pirates of the Caribbean?
I have looked up Chad Michael Murray on Google and stared at him blankly, but I'm afraid every time he pops up as a character I see Owen Wilson.
In no way am I contemplating writing more RPS crackfic.
looks shifty

I know I saw one where one of the Js was in the next PoTC.
I have not yet brought myself to read the mermaid crack, but I would so read those in a heartbeat.

The Mermaid crack was really quite charming - Splash, reworked. Although I think I'm much fonder of the Sabrina one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In terms of crack RPF fic, have you read Chash's stuff [link] especially the Tractorbeam stories? [link]
She also wrote a Misha fic I think you might like [link]
On the non-rpf side, her Leverage stuff is quite good as well.

Owen Wilson is a hilarious mental substitute for Chad, who looks like a low-rent Justin Timberlake with dinnerplate-sized nipples.

I've read the Tractorbeam story (or at least the first) - I enjoyed it a lot, but I suspect I'd have enjoyed it more if I'd seen the TV show it's based on? But today I have read a Splash AU and a reworking of Tootsie. And there was a FANTASTIC spy one by fleshflutter that was like mainlining a whole season of Alias, only with added gay.
I have concluded that it's cracktastic AUs I'm enjoying, rather than RPF. Just random RPF that's recognisably about the actors does still squick me. (Which isn't to say I won't read it, but - mostly it squicks me.) But this whole cracktastic AU thing is like something else entirely - it's kind of like acting out a story with your Barbie dolls. Only, you know - awesomer. And especially cracktastic slash AUs, which are of course what I'm mostly looking at - it's fascinating what changes are wrought. I mean, I like the Sabrina fic more than the original movie. It actually makes more sense for the Linus character to be a closet case than to be an asexual workaholic.
So - whether the AUs are about real people or fictional people kind of doesn't matter. It's like suddenly I realise that the whole world can be crazy gay penguins, you know?

Yes! And speaking of cracktastic AUs, one I learned about in your LJ, Fay: Gerard Way's (Vampire) Detective Agency. Oh, my heart! It's my favorite, right after the infamous Bandpires story.
