I was laughing over a rant railing against the slashiness on SPN "cheapening" the show that seemed to be coming from a homophobic place until the poster later revealed her objection was due to being a Wincest shipper.

[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.

Really? First it's "ewwww, het has cooties," and then it's "keep it in the family where it belongs, people"?
I don't even know what to do with that. Except maybe back away slowly and go back to reading a J2 RPS AU I'm part-way through. Thus proving I'm in no position to make critical moral commentary.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
While I have a few OTPs and DoNotWantPs in various fandoms, I just don't get the kind of rabidity that some shippers exhibit.
With SPN, while I've been intrigued enough by certain pairings (het and slash) to read or write them, shipping and fics are something I enjoy in addition to the show. It's like a tasty side dish, but it's hardly the point of the meal for me.
From some of the rants, it almost sounds like people are watching the show making little tick marks for every D/C moment vs. every D/S moment, in a way that's more than a little reminiscent of Heathcliff keeping track of how much time Cathy spent with Edgar vs. how much time she spent with him.

Because books.

And we all know how well that ended for everyone.

And isn't Heathcliff the one who killed puppies? Is that really a character with whom to identify?

Well, more like "ewww, Teh Gay has cooties," but yeah.

Exactly. Also, what Calli said.

Heathcliff is indeed that guy, Calli.
So we're off next week, and then the final two episodes back to back the week after, right?
Thank god there's a seventh season, because two more episodes would not be enough (for me).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm chafing already at no ep next week, but Smallville will have Lex so I may watch that finale for old time's sake. It's been forever since I liked that show.
I'm kinda sad we're not getting a proper two hour event (like AHBL would have been, except why not kill us with a cliffhanger), but two eps in one night is wicked cool, even if it's the end for now.
Author still hasn't contacted me. Waiting for the reveals? I dunno.

Why would you, though?
