Xander ,'Get It Done'
[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 god, all the times I've wanted to run in here and share the creepy trauma I've subjected myself to...
Annoying mistakes that I've been seeing too many times: "weary" where it should be "wary", "wonder" when it should be "wander" and "wandering" when it should be "wondering".
Random tweet: This conversation is cracking me up.
Loose instead of lose. People, do a specific spell check for "loos" before you publish your fic, and refer to some sort of loose/lose bible before you go forward.
There are a number other, and they drive me nuts, but nothing like loosing control, when you know that's not what they meant.
I read a badfic where an OFC started off with one name in the first paragraph and it was immediately changed to something else for the rest of the fic. Or there's moments where the author is unable to keep track of where the characters are in a room: "Dean stood by the window" followed immediately with "Cas joined Dean where he sat". And I see tons of contradictory statements (within the same paragraph or in consecutive paragraphs) by characters and I don't know which one was the actual intended narrative.
I tried to read a Dean/Castiel/Gabriel (not related to each other) fic, and boy, the threesome scenes were badly described. No idea who was where or why. It wasn't high art to start off with, but when there's no porn payoff, what's the point?
D/C AU reclist. Nothing I hadn't seen there before, and in fact, I'll be making some suggestions, but just in case.
Sam & Dean song like whoa:
Iron & Wine's "Resurrection Fern"
In our days we will live
Like our ghosts will live
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows
And folding clothes
Like stubborn boys across the road
We'll keep everything
Grandma's gun, and the black bear claw
That took her dog
And when sister JoLaurie says "Amen,"
We won't hear anything
The ten-car train will take that word
That fledgling bird
And the falling house across the way
It'll keep everything
The baby's breath, our bravery wasted
And our shame
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Both our tender bellies wound in bailing wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its Resurrection Fern
In our days we will say
What our ghosts will say
We gave the world what it saw fit
And what'd we get?
Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
We'll see everything
In the timid shade of the autumn leaves
And the buzzard's wing
Dunno if it's viddable, but I hope that's on someone's fanmix.
I have decided: there needs to be mandated warnings in fic about which character is going to be villainized. If RPF can warn for even the presence of CMM, then all fic can warn for Evil!Sir. John is NOT a canonical bad guy.
Character bashing should totally be warned for. Sometimes I hate people.
I just saw one of the more interestingly specific theme rec lists I've ever come across: Jared/Jensen nipple piercing fic recs.
I just saw a Dean/Cas fic where Dean is apparently good!incubus!Dean. IDEK.
