Making actual people into puppets implies a passive position that I don't think applies to J2. Any other RPS that I can think of, sure, but I think J2 is a product that is performed to promote the show (and the actors) in a public venue. Purposeful, like an MCR concert. I think of J2 fic (or icons or art or whatev) as a fan response to the J2 'verse. Does that make J2 Hamlet, and Supernatural is the play within the play? I would probably be uncomfortable though if I didn't think it was all done with a wink and a nudge. On their part. To their audience. For the most part, I don't think we have seen JP or JA out of character in a public appearance since early season one. Jensen especially is more at ease (imo) now that he is playing this part in public. So to me, J2 is a different animal than other RPS. It would also be different if the guys didn't know about or weren't actively participating in J2. Or indicated with words or body language that they were uncomfortable with that perception being out there. Lord knows, they aren't afraid to take action on something they really find objectionable.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Austin, incoming at your profile addy.
Thanks Bev!
Investigation into whether Dean really does sleep closest to the door.
Huh, I had no idea about the MCR->J2 equivalence in terms of it being something of a public performance.
Anne, that Ellen story was YOU! You are awesome! I loved that story SO MUCH.
I'm kind of shocked that nobody who didn't already know guessed who wrote my story. I mean, I even had a Buffista call out in it!

See, to me MCR = My Chemical Romance, so this is a little confusing. What MCR do you mean, Anne? Am I being dense?

Perkins did! Guess, that is.
Here is a google map I came across on lj that someone made of the boys road trips through the episodes. It's pretty cool. [link]
Amy, I meant My Chemical Romance. Sorry, sometimes I get carried away with the shorthand.
Oh! So I was right!
And it's probably clear I was skimming while brain dead right after work. ::sheepish::
