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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?

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

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.

FWIW, I don't like this.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If we move this volume of fic talk over there, specific fics and shit, if it's enough to overwhelm one of the highest volume threads on the board, what do you think it's going to do to the existing fic thread?

Rules are rules. If fic is deemed off topic here, then I won't talk about it here. But I'm not going to participate in radically changing the thread culture of a different thread. You guys want to change this thread, let's change this thread.

However I think it's inconsistent to leave vids and fanart on the table and exclude fic.

Oh now I get what you're saying. From my perspective, I feel like more traffic is good for any thread, but I can understand how it might be disconcerting for a thread you're used to being a certain way suddenly becoming very different.
