There wasn't much discussion at Ginger's. There was flailing, and gasping, and Oh Dean!, but no real discussion. And aside from a few pithy comments about the unexpected ferniness of the forest understory in South Dakota, Plei had little to say, nor did I. Too busy absorbing for later analysis and discussion.

Beverly, I am a complete feedback whore, and therefore you are more than welcome to link to any of my stories, at any time.

What tiggy and Beverly said. I could post last night because I had seen the episode. If I was seeing that all for the first time, no way. I might manage an occasional "OMG", or "ohnohedidn't", or "guh" but that's probably it. SPN is way too viewer intensive for me on the first go around. However, because I am in CST zone, I may do that watch and record thing as well and W&P with the West coast showing.

Oh, and thank you for explaining the case file type of story. I hadn't heard that before, but I think I might like it better than the romantic stories.

I'm not sure if "casefile" is an accepted term in SPN fandom; but I came into ficwriting through X-Files fandom, where the casefile was the gold standard for stories. Particularly casefiles that included some romance in them. As a result, I tend to use the term for episode-like stories in a fandom where mysteries are the norm, like SPN.

I have seen bits of Suela's casefile. It shall be awesomecakes.

My inner geek is shining through tonight. Do any of you know of a clock icon thingy to count down the days before October 4th? I think I had one for Serenity before it opened. I haven't searched yet, but I am thinking I want one. If it's already in some type of Supernatural skin, then that would be all the better.

edit: I found a generic one for iGoogle homepage so that may do for now. 54 days 21 hours and 9 minutes

We don't post fic in this thread, but if you want, here is a sample of the casefile (scroll down past the asterisk)...

Okay, back to writing, damnit.

Hey, maybe we should have a pool on how often Dean gets laid this season. Hmm?

Austin, herewith. Enjoy. It's lovely.

I'm in.

It's amazing how little they've shown of it, given the constant refs to his sluttitude. I suppose they only want to show it if *means* something, like it was supposed to with Cassie.

Silly, silly Kripke.

Thank you. I look forward to reading! I'm kind of glad you don't post fic here. It would be too much to scroll through when trying to find other things.

Disclaimer: I took my anti-anxiety medicine so if if I start talking about butterfly aliens and Okay, I am in on the Dean getting laid pool. First, though, how many times do we count from seasons past?

Cassie counts because we saw it on screen. Does Hollywood Babylon girl count because she comes out of her trailer in a robe and I thought that was what went on, but it wasn't on screen? Does Carmen count in WIAWSNB, because when he woke up in the construct world, they were naked in bed? Or because it is a construct world, and it didn't really happen, is that void? I am probably forgetting one or two. Anyway, I think we need criteria for what counts as laid, and what we can accept as implied. I will agree with anything that is the decided. I will even offer to provide a small prize to the winner.

And because I took my anti-anxiety medication, please excuse any misspelling or nonsense making. I am quite legally stoned. I am fighting the urge to tell you all how much it means to me to be able to discuss the best show currently on television.

On that note, I am going to bed. Medicated Austin is not strong with the sense making.
