Well, Sam would think it was kinda geeky cool. Dean would so be horrified.
Yes. That's how it would happen.
In other news, I have a WIP fic that will likely be rendered AU early in the next season. That manages to be discouraging. Anyone around on IM who might be willing to kick an idea around with me?
Anne, I can maybe help.
Hivemind question: Sam and Dean are named for characters in On the Road. Is this simply Kripke's thing, or was it ever canon that John and Mary named them so for that reason?
Amy, shall I email, or contact you via IM?
Email, or Google chat. You have my address? amy dot garvey at gmail dot com.
Insent, Amy.
Ooh. Google chat is simple. I'm on as missweber at gmail dot com.
I think that's just Kripke's thing -- I cannot remember anything from the show that says anything similar.

It's never been mentioned on the show.

I'm going to have to read the book, aren't I?

Yes. But only so I don't mock you for your lit lapse.
The only part you need to know for *our* argument is that Dean Moriarty in the book is based on Neal Cassady. So Dean is Cass. Literally.
