"The Monster at the End of This Book" is one of my favorite episodes but I seem to recall some people taking issue with the broken fourth wall-ishness of it. I get 95% of my Supernatural fandom right here so I tend to miss the kerfuffles.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

[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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some people regarded it as a breach of the unspoken "thou shalt not mention Wincest" contract between showrunner and fan. There was a roundly mocked cartoon made up of the woe of a woman being outed to her husband as a slasher, and the problems it would cause her relationship.

Annalee, tsk, tsk. The French Mistake is not the future or an angel creation. It is an alternate dimension.

For sure not angel created? So there is a reality where Supernatural is a TV show that is not the reality we call RL?

It's an alternate reality.

that bugs me. I want that dimension to have been created for the boys and to have disappeared when they were gone. Maybe I haven't embraced the meta-ness of recent seasons as much as I thought.

Why?

I think it has something to do with how I feel about RPF. As if it's OK for to find out our fictional characters are written about by other fictional characters, but then to have the actors playing the actors who play the fictional characters... it must be an emotional thing because I'm having a hard time finding a rational argument.

I'd rank my RPF squick as one of the biggest ones out there, but I had no problem with it myself. It's not an alternate reality I want to watch every Friday, but there are worlds without shrimp and then there's this.

I wonder who wrote the "worlds without shrimp" line and if they'd ever watched the double feature of Repo Man and Liquid Sky.
But I digress. I love shows with alternate realities but I think it bugs me when those realities are too close to RL. But no, I'm full of shit because two of my favorite moments reading two of my favorite books involved finding out that book RL and my RL are not the same.
Yeah. I cannot defend my stance.
