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.

Still can't do.

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.

Got all excited over a Gunslinger/Dark Tower inspired fic, except that was bs. And then all the plot gets put on hold for curtain fic and the joys of not realizing you're dating, and the writing is quite bad, not including the shift-F7 problem (I'm not sure what they're trying to get across half the time), and not including the old-fashioned parlance.

But the biggest horror was that Jess was made to rate the same as Dean's car. Okay okay, the impala is the most important object in the universe, but but but --they made Jess a horse! And then killed her! And then replaced her with a horsie named Gabriel!

IDEFK.

I'm not ready for RPF but I'm afraid this sentence ends in yet.

She understood now why Deanolo was so in love with [Cas]; even in his gored state

Oh COME ON!

What does that even mean?

Cas had the flesh on his back flogged off, the skin on his chest carved off (including the flesh being carved to the bone), and whatever remaining skin on his back carved off, not to mention spurting veins in his ankles after having been hung upside down. And Ellen's musings are "damn, nice bod, no wonder Dean's tapping that."

I really need to be fed good fic, cuz right now I'm standing in front of the open fridge and munching on everything that doesn't need to be cooked and still feeling ravenous.

Good god, Julie. I wish I had anything new for you.

I just finished Blind Spot. I tried to save it for ER visits, but had to finish it up since I was home early and am typing with paw. I liked it. Heavy reading, but nice whump balance. And nice Dean and nice Sam.
