Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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

I'm willing to read fusions where I don't knowKNOW the extra canon, because I'm hoping they'll do enough legwork, but not crossovers, because that's usually entire major characters. There have been a few where they say you don't need to know, but I feel I end up with a poorly-painted OC, and DNW.

I started a Star Wars fusion (author called it a crossover--people, please be accurate) the other day that's cracking my ass up. I haven't watched the original movies in forever, so I can't say if its canon is being done justice, but the character overlay so far is pretty hysterical. I can't wait to find out who's Chewbacca.

I'm about due for my annual Dark Angel rewatch

I need to check if SiTV still shows it. It might be time to cherrypick the JA episodes again.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I was a Good Omens fan before SPN was a twinkle in Kripke's eye, so reading crossovers with it isn't a problem for me from a canon knowledge standpoint. Well, aside from the SPN S5 eps. I haven't watched yet, coming back the way I did this spring.

There is a difference in tone between the two sources, though. Even though both [spoilers for Good Omens]: deal with angels and demons, apocalypses, witches, the four horsemen, and humans caught up in it all. It's not a huge stretch, plot-wise.

So the tonal issues can be a bit jarring, depending which you're going into the crossover fic expecting.

Because books.

Supernatural Soundtrack album! All the scores, not the rock.

The track titles are HILARIOUS.

Oh, god, I laughed out loud at my desk again. The developer totally knows I'm surfing the web.

And Sam is giving such the sex look on that album cover. Naughty boy.

Dean's Dirty Organ?! I literally spit iced tea.

Yeah. I may need to buy it for the titles.

Me too. I pretty much don't care what it sounds like. I just want those to pop up on my iPod.

Yes, fanservice works on me. What of it?

Oh, I'm so buying it. I have no idea if I'll ever listen to it (who am I kidding -- I'll get nostalgic one day and listen and weep, I'm sure), but I am buying it.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I just finished chapter 32.

I think I'm gonna curl up in a fetal position and cry now.

And I signed back up for Netflix and added DA to the top of my queue (James Cameron has powerful friends blocking me from my illicit behaviour.)

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

I started a Star Wars fusion (author called it a crossover--people, please be accurate)

What's the difference between fusion and crossover? From the context clues I'm guessing that in a crossover you'd get Buffy and Cordelia and Sam and Dean all co-starring in the fic, but in a fusion, something different would happen... but what?
