The HBC doesn't work, and so it was weird to finally figure out that Sam and Cas were supposed to be best friends, where in the movie, the relationship between Dean and Cas would be Cas and Sam. Um. If it truly reflected the movie, Dean would have been banging Sam, and Sam would have been banging Cas. Sam and Cas would not have been just friends as they are in the fic. And there would have been no Dean/Cas.

And I don't think it's a good fit, but again, like I said, I can't make my brain shift to not imagine EN and BP in those roles, and I can't imagine Cas or Dean in them. Sam's just way out there. But I'm pretty sure so are Dean and Cas. Dean might be the closest. Or at least I can see Jensen in that role.

OMG, that ignipes fic is hilarious! I've never seen VD, but now I want to.

But you have to admit Meatloaf==Cupid was pretty sweet.

It was, indeed.

I've never seen VD, but now I want to.

ita will tell you that it's not a good show. I will tell you that that is technically accurate and I just don't care. I am constantly entertained and stuff really does happen. Plus, really nice eye candy.

She's right, I will say that. However, I don't think I've ever seen a more event-filled 22-episode show. And, good god, the body count. Not in an SPN/Buffy way, where they off people you don't know before the credits, either. And the plot whipsaws like nobody's business.

It's best you don't think about it.

Overall I didn't enjoy the Fight Club fusion and had the same problem of not being able to see anyone but the movie stars in those roles. However when it did work it was stellar, Dean giving Castiel Tyler's kiss and telling him God hates him? Exquisite pain.

And dear god I just got that Tyler's kiss is literally that. I never before made the connection that lye reacts with water, ie saliva.

She's right, I will say that.

It's sort of the ginger beer thing. And you're not wrong.

This!

Is the actor association with Fight Club stronger than with, say, Wings of Desire? If so, because it's more recent? Higher Impact? You like it better?

I know J2 fandom is supposed to do a lot of movie adaptations. How do those generally work?

I haven't read the Wings of Desire fic but for Hunger Games it was easy for me to transcribe the characters because I don't know the material word-for-word like I do Fight Club.
