I repeat, I don't want to discourage anybody from enjoying the show and this thread the way they're most comfortable. I withdraw my suggestion.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And I don't want you to not be comfortable here, Bev. I guess I just think posting more show talk is a better way of having more show talk than pushing out other talk would be.
Plus, that way, we get MOAR SPICY BRAINS.

Just my two cents.
I skim the D/C discussion, because it's as AU to me as Wincest and sister fic.
We have people here who've courageously and sincerely made their feelings known about fic discussion v. discussion of Show. Some have withdrawn their suggestion and others have committed to being more mindful. I think that's a fine compromise.
Personally, I've come from a fandom that split bitterly and became flaming factions of pettiness, vitriol, sock puppets and trolls. I must say I'm impressed that while I do read frustration from some, I also see sincerity in trying to understand others' points of view and attempts to work it out.
This must be the fandom version of the grown-up's table.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I see all that shit, songs, wincest, meta, as part of the thread culture.
Right. And I can adjust myself to that now that I see that. I see now that where for me fic is a tangetial topic or is more clearly demarcated from show discussion, for others the two are far more intertwined and in fact cannot be neatly separated. Knowing (and now, understanding) that helps me a LOT.
This must be the fandom version of the grown-up's table.
Which is why I love this place.

Does that mean we get wine? I approve.

I certainly don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I'm fine with skipping until we get more show. I agree that any kind of tagging is too awkward for normal thread discourse.

You mean, we aren't drinking now?
As a mostly lurker (I tend to tivo and not watch for a few days, so by the time I get in here, everything's been said :) )I've just been skimming by the fic discussion, I figured that it was being discussed because there was no show to talk about. I didn't think that it was thread shift, just boredom. My .02, FWIW.

Well, it's nice to be all official about it.
Simon Said is on. I miss Andy, and Sam's visions. Sam's psychic freak thing, especially the telekinesis, definitely didn't get enough play.

Dean was very touch-y in Simon Said. It's fun to watch now and realize that JP was stoned on pain meds for the hand surgery when the ep was filmed. He's said he doesn't remember a lot from filming that ep.
Lordy, I miss Andy too. He was fun.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Wow! You people had me worried that something happened with Show. I saw the number of posts and I got a sick feeling that I didn't realized hiatus was over last Friday.
Holy smokes, I'm going to go drink something.
