Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Suzi, link!

Do you have a cite for that I can read, Beverly?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'll scroll back--I noted but didn't reblog. It may take a little while.

Here you go. Opinion, but it makes sense to me.

My main question about the opinion is that it's motivated by "No one is paying attention to my tumblr!"

It's plausible, but so is the idea that one anon is running around being a grade A douchewad. It's not like suicide and tumblr never intersect.

True.

Honestly, I haven't seen it myself. But I'm not in the middle of fandom, so I don't see a lot of that stuff.

Don't know if this was a direct part of the hate in tumbler or if it just coincided timewise - [link]

I think it just coincided timewise.

I haven't seen any of this particular SPN flavor of douchtastic behavior, but I am only on the very fringes of SPN fandom.

Tell us, author, more about your personal experience with moisturizer and how it's okay for men to do it.

Ha! I just read this paragraph in the wild. It's tonally very weird with the rest of the story.

Where do you stand on correcting falsehoods in fic? Are you able to let "addictive marijuana" and "symptom free alcohol withdrawal" just wash over you?

If it's a good story with an author that seems nice, I'll suggest a correction because I think it will make a good story better if it's accurate.

But sometimes it's one of those "I've never known the touch of a man but I'd sure like to" romance writers and "i've never drunk alcohol" but will write in detail about chugging half a bottle of alcohol and symptom free alcohol withdrawal and life-ruining marijuana addictions (as opposed to dependencies) that develop in days.

Since I don't want to correct for *her* since I can't live her life nor do her research, it's a) an exercise in irritated ego, and b) hoping people read the comments and don't go away with what she presents as representative and factual.

I feel like shit for the latter urges, but sometimes I anon and try to politely do so. In the former, I absolutely use my own name.

(I do reasonably little of either, for the record)

I don't begrudge anyone from expressing themselves creatively, but man I wish A03 had something like a popup with the latest One Direction video that has to be voluntarily closed before one can hit the Post Story button.
