I think Swift settled things in Battle of the Books with his spider and bee allegory. [link] He was talking about basing derivative works on writings of the "ancients," not Merlin or The Avengers. But fanfic based on Aristophanes is still fanfic.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
*So* weird. I have no idea how to respond.
The same way any good one-upper does: graphic Wincest dubcon fanart links.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nah, I went with Matt's suggestion. I went with this. From home, I might give him something unromantic, perhaps with tentacles. Wincest tentacles...

She's hideously, ridiculously talented, but there's no way her body mass can be large enough to contain the amounts of saccharine she seems to thrive on. But, I bitch about that, and then she kills Castiel or has them roleplaying priest/angel, so it's all good. I just have to pace myself.

Tonight's experience: That awkward moment when you figure out that the WiP that posted a new chapter was not the one you thought it was. Makes conversations between characters very confusing.
