I've never heard of that book. Must look into it. The movie does sound problematic, though.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I ... was going to babble about it, but not here.

Stepping away from ita's head and ita's issues for a moment to share this.

Some of us love SPN first and last who are not subsumed by sexytiems--between anybody. Which is my head and my issue.

Back to your regular channel.

Um. I had a discussion about this recently with somebody, and it's re-clarified and reemphasized for me that I find relationships between characters more interesting if there's no sex. It seems like the point of 99% of fic is to get somebody in bed--or up against a wall, or whatever. Personally I find Sherlockian intimacy far more intricate and fascinating than aforesaid sexytiems. I realize I am in the vast minority here, and that vanishing few other people share my preference. Which is why I mostly let others carry the conversation to their preference and interests.

Bev, you can talk about the show and the characters and their non-sexual interactions all you want. No one's stopping you. In fact, I think a lot of people would join you, if you started conversations like that.

And I think you're disregarding a lot of conversation in here about Dean's drinking, for instance, or his guilt issues, or where Sam's head is now, and speculation about their childhood, among a dozen other non-sexual points of interest on the show. We're not *only* talking about sex.

While I enjoy the ideas of Dean, Sam, and Cas in various entanglements, I personally love the relationship between Sam and Dean the most. It's what makes the show unique and fascinating to me.

To me, fic and show are often very different things. W

Jared and Gen Halloween - a friend sent me this picture. Most amusing is that her little boy had the very same costume.

I'm sorry...was I talking about sex? I hadn't realised. It's shocking, shocking, I tell you, how these things can sneak up on you.

In the spring - SPN comes back January 6th.

I don't know what the final new episode is though.

Dude, that was not a "quit it!" It was an explanation of why I don't join in. Everybody gets to talk about what they want to, I like that part. I just feel bad sometimes because I'm not contributing to a discussion, that's all.

I forget how to talk to the other humans, apparently.

I realize I am in the vast minority here, and that vanishing few other people share my preference. Which is why I mostly let others carry the conversation to their preference and interests.

Bev, the above is what I was responding to. Talking about "the vanishing few" makes it sound like no one else shares your preferences, and I don't think that's true. I also think if you want to talk about the kind of relationships you like, you have to start those conversations.

You certainly don't have to apologize for not joining conversations you have no interest in. I certainly don't.
