I have recently realized that my bloodthirst is not shared by many fic writers. It feels like 90% schmoop/dating/meet-cute/romcom fluff. Which, maybe I can see for RPF, where life is usually normal and mundane. But, I don't read romance novels, I don't watch romcoms at the theatre, and seeing as how the fascination with the characters/actors is borne out of a bloody, dark angsty show, why more fic isn't dark or bloody (and then a lot of times it crosses the line and the characters are demons and/or sadistic, which is also a huge NO).
But some fics make me feel like I'm eavesdropping in someone's Dear Diary entry, and it creeps me out
THIS. I start wondering what year such and such a writer is at school, what their major is, what their side/summer job is, and cursing that "write what you know" crap. There are realistic details that cement the story, and then there's subjecting others to your boring life /mean
I totally took the Brady episode as tacit canon that Sam and Brady "experimented." Many times over. In many positions. ::nods::
I need to have this more on the tip of my tongue. No extra dirtiness implied or intended. Usually the conversation is turning to Dean's heterosexuality, but I'm totally not above talking about Sam's bisexual penis. Nosirree.
I really like romcoms. Well, in theory. Most of the actual movies make me scream and run away in horror. But the idea of a meet cute, a bit of angst and conflict and a smidge of misunderstanding, and then intense sexytimes? Not necessarily in that order, some segments repeatedly? I really like.
The idea that Dean and Cas stare tenderly into each other's eyes (jade meets sapphire, the world stops turning) and pledge to be each other's one and only for ever and ever (with a side helping of "That bitch Lisa!" or for a while "That bitch Meg!" (yeah, you rang?)) and everything is cooing doves and hearts aflutter?
NO. That's not what I meant. Yes, the show is one of the funniest things on TV. Yes, they're all capable of scarily intense emotion and devotion. But that does not have to make for crappy Mills and Boon stories, I swear.
And, maybe weirdly for someone who's as close to her sister as I am (or because?) I find it unutterably creepy when every story has Dean and Sam dating brothers. Hand-flappy agitation.
I prefer when people write dub con Godstiel or Leviacas and I just don't read it than having to back clicky panicked out of another sugary schmoopfest where a sugar-snarfing Archangel Gabriel (or, worse yet, an overly concerned yet peculiarly alive Balthazar) decides they just can't go on unless those crazy kids start getting anally intimate. And either Gabriel is pining for Sam, or they're both dreadfully celibate.
Makes me want a matchmaker Uriel fix, I swear.
expect gifs soon of Misha rubbing his crotch. he was just on The Soup.
Oh dear. Why, tiggy? (I mean, why was he on The Soup, not why was he rubbing his crotch, which is because, I assume, he's Misha.)
because he can? i honestly have no idea. he just showed up in a bit with Lucy Lawless and the new Spartacus dude. they were modeling merkins. i can't even make this shit up.
I saw him talking about merkins on Twitter and I just ... shrugged.
he just beat up Joel for talking bad about The Bachelor.
Oh man. I have to find this on YouTube tomorrow.
I like romcoms much better in text than on screen anymore. And there have been some ridiculously cute ones. I've read some darker SPN fic, but too often it goes too dark (I don't like the boys as demons, and I don't do torture fic).
I think a lot of people write fic because it's an escape, or wish fulfillment (and I'm totally guilty of it), and that doesn't usually equal the grimmer stories.
I have to find this on YouTube tomorrow.
Please link when you find it.
Why has Colin not introduced me yet? Actually I don't even have to meet him. I'll just eavesdrop and stare a bit.
Okay, I have to find this on TiVo stat. The few GIFs I've just seen...it's a dream I didn't even know I had come true.

I think they should write for *me*. That's not entirely unreasonable, is it? I need some complexity with my porn and consummation of longing. A leetle bit.
