But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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 really amazed at the amount of stuff with spot-on characterizations

Then you need to tell me what you're reading, because I'm not seeing that. And I'm trawling everywhere. But it is possible I've read all of everything that doesn't squick me.

What is with the plethora of fic posted in grey font and some that are grey font with all the italics in blue?

I read with my journal style forced over, so I don't encounter that much. Though every now and again, there are random font changes, which I just don't get--Gedry's 12 Steps, for instance, changed font with every chapter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Have you read the Quantum Leap/Buffy/SPN that takes place right before the end of Season 4? There were a couple of odd moments between Faith and Dean but I totally bought that Sam and Dawn were an item.

For some reason I'm put off by Buffy crossovers. Partly because of the utter boringness I see in the Faith/Dean pairing, and partly the eyescrubbing I had to do after reading John/Castiel/Buffy. Which I shouldn't hold against other fic, but the prejudice lingers.

Do you have a link?

It's also possible I'm not as discriminating as ita. Let's find out.

Living for Giving the Devil his Due.

The Buffy-ness is very minor.

Gedry's 12 Steps, for instance, changed font with every chapter

I didn't pick up on that. But there have been fics where the freaking font size changes for random paragraphs.

And the ones that really truly kill me are double spaced, so I have to page down frequently.


Which totally destroys the flow,


especially when it's a conversation and


only five exchanges fit on the screen


at a time.

I hit back so fast I couldn't really tell.

Readability. You drop it in your toolbar and click on it to turn hard-to-read web pages into something plain, but very readable. It saves a ton of eye strain. [link]
