Flatly, if we took this volume of SPN-only fic discussion in the offseason to the fanfic thread, we'd lose the regular posters there. Or they'd ask us to leave. Which, you know, major sore point around the place.
On season, I find it harder to judge. Volume here is generally pretty high when Show is on, with episode-related stuff, and I think fic mentions are more likely to get lost then than canon stuff. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm paying less attention to fic then anyway, so I have less to say.
Would it be a good idea to have a parallel discussion in the Fanfic thread?
Didn't realize there was one! Checked out the last twenty posts, wasn't too keen, doesn't seem like a neat fit. I have actively checked myself from posting during active Show discussions (hopefully successfully). Understand that my beautiful cake is not others.
Is it the content (and how can it be better censored/avoided?) or just any fic in general.
The fic thread is really slow right now, and if people who are reading and rec'ing SPN fic do that in the fic thread, there's a group right there, in a mostly dormant thread. Discussion could expand a bit, too, if wanted.
I don't see the need to exclude fic from the fic thread just because it's SPN, especially since there isn't really any other fic discussion ongoing at the moment.
We could give it a try. If people complain we're getting peanuut butter in their chocolate we can always bring it back here.
I'm one who's skimming pretty heavily and afraid I'm going to miss show talk because of it.
I'd rather stop talking about fic than run them out of their thread, despite its low volume.
So I'll just do that instead.
I'm assuming the same goes for fan-created arts and crafts, right?
Oh please don't stop posting links to fan art.

The fic thread was created for discussing fanfic. All I thought was that if we had a thread already set up for that exact purpose, maybe we should use it. I know that some people, including myself, did not like the mix of show and fic talk, so I thought I would suggest a possible solution for when Show started again.
I never liked chibi until I saw Supernatural chibi and now I kind of love it. You guys are my only source.
ita, do I have to forsake you twice? /crack addict
FWIW, I'm not interested in fic, I'm interested in SPN fic. But if rules is rules is rules, I'll abide by that.
