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.

Oh Misha!

Misha was quite adorable on the 100th episode bonus disc, smack-talking Jensen and Jared. and Jared and Jensen were quite gracious and adoring of the fans.

ION, it occurred to me that demons smell like egg farts.

Oh hey, fic help needed. There was one where it starts off with the classic "Cas teaches Dean to respect him [sexy times]" but gets subverted in Cas getting in over his head and realizing that he isn't the master of the situation. But I didn't tag it, and I fear that I found it by falling down the rabbit hole in some random LJ or community. Think I found it, of course, when I've been sitting on this question for two days.

Well this fandom has just pushed me past another boundary in my fanfic reading -- I've begun reading RPF. (Or is it RPS? What's the difference?) Anyway, I just posted the first J2 story in my Delicious account.

RPF = real person fic

RPS = real person slash

I was such a virgin when I got into this fandom, in terms of reading fic. When someone told me what J2 was the first time, I was honestly a shocked maiden aunt with a hand to her heart.

And then I read it. And I Fell.

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

Still can't do. I understand the appeal, pretty clearly, especially AU, but I just think of puppeteered characters of real people dancing through the pages. I've had it done to me, and 1/3 of my brain is going "No! Just not me! You should have taken my name and left the rest."

But I totally get the appeal. They're pretty boys, and they do pretty things together, and then they run out of pretty, they import some in, and keep prettying,

The one with Vamp!you and Spike was written by you though?

Which is precisely why I wrote that series. Me through my hoops. I'm 100% okay with that, though I do wonder about the quality of the OC that results. I couldn't even let go of me for a gift exchange. I respect what Deb is doing with Domitra, and I'm flattered, but it's also WEIRD.

It's still a miniscule part of my reading. In my Delicious account I have 252 SPN stories tagged so far (I'm so behind!) and 2 J2 stories. I find I'm really particular about which ones I enjoy - they're the AU's that focus just on the guys, mostly. I don't care for the stories about the real JA and JP because they feel intrusive and I feel vicariously slimy, and I don't like the stories where the writer tries to cram in every actor who has ever been on the CW as well as JDM, the wives, and sometimes Kripke and the other staff members of Show. Mostly what it amounts to are stories that are about characters who have nothing to actually do with JA and JP or SPN, so they might as well be original fiction.

SPN's the only place I've ever read RPF, and even then it's pretty rare. Eliza Jane's "Fandom is SRS BZNZ" was too irresistible. [link]

Jensen and Misha harass one another through LJ accounts. It ends in porn, of course. Actually, it kind of middles in porn. Anyway, fun, and as much a commentary on fandom as on the actors.
