I guess. But my take is that she's been there so long, she's not going to take the show in some entirely weird or unexpected direction. She knows the characters, and she also knows the fans.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Sure, but at the same time she hasn't had to deal with every episode the way Kripke did until now. I'd think that there is a bit, "now I can do this". And since she is a fan as well as a long term writer and producer stuff won't come out of left field. But it won't be the same thing Kripke would have to fight if he was still doing it. I mean he might have been able to fight it off, and keep things fresh. But I suspect that with her, staleness is a non-issue.

I used to play GI Joes with other boys as a kid. And they were actually pretty generous about letting me have a share in shaping the story and what have you when it was their GI Joe's. But when I got one of my own for a birthday I could do anything I wanted with, that was a whole different thing.

I saw someone worrying that Sam would become a cutter. Now I'm worried.
That said, bring on the fic!

Regardless of the impression Dean's taunts seem to have left with parts of fandom, I don't foresee Sam coping with trauma by listening to Cash Cash while writing in his diary about how no one understands him.

I just saw the term "Wincestiel" for the first time. Wow.
Dean's taunts
But Dean was only taunting when he wasn't Dean.

I mean general taunts of girliness and such over the course of the series.

Why, because real men can't have emotions, or be sad, upset, unsettled, lost, and hopeless after all the shit they've been through?
I mean, I watch the show the see them put through the emotional ringer. Give me my mangst!
