I guess I can't complain she's too fluffy now, huh?

STOP MAKING IT HURT.

I am attempting to read an AU where the author admits upfront that Dean and Cas resemble the characters only physically. And it's in google docs, and every so often the font goes blurry, and I have to refresh and page back down. I am adverse to dling fics, but I might break down tomorrow, considering how long the fic is.

Otherwise, it's a good read so far.

Interview with both guys before The Slice Girls--no spoilers.

I waited too long. It says video removed. :(

But guess who is watching Supernatural on Netflix streaming? This girl!!

What's in it for you if the characters only share a physical resemblance? Being able to animate/populate stories with faces you are familiar with?

I think I'd probably rather read an OOC fic than a completely unrelated one, and I'd go along fixing it in my head. But I also don't read RPF, and I understand for a lot of people it's getting their favourite actors to act out stories, rather than Jensen did this, Jared is like this. Me, even when it's done badly, I'm reaching for the guys on the screen, or some interesting variation thereof.

Horse races, horse races.

I was reading some Steven Brust over dinner this evening, and god, I'd love to read Brust-written Supernatural fic. I love his sarcastic pragmatic tone. I think he'd be really good at it.

Who would you guys like to see turn their word processor to the Supernatural world and/or characters?

Stephen King. He'd get all the nuances, and the twisted loyalties and and the brother relationship, and all of it. Ooh, and he'd do preseries weeChester stuff awesomely.

He was totally my second choice. Brust does the paranormal pretty well, but I don't think he would scare the fuck out of me like King could.

Brust isn't the best author I like, but he's the most compatible, I guess. Even Octavia Butler disappointed me once (HARD, with Fledgling). He hasn't. Not yet. And, it's not for lack of writing. I think I'm on book 12 or 13 of his Vlad series.

I've never read him. What exactly does he write?

Stephen King. He'd get all the nuances, and the twisted loyalties and and the brother relationship, and all of it. Ooh, and he'd do preseries weeChester stuff awesomely.

Oh man, that would be brilliant. I want to read that now.

Mostly fantasy, a smidgen of sci fi. His main series is a self-aware sarcastic assassin who lives in a world of magic and "elves" (they're not our kind of elves by any stretch of the imagination--they're basically tall, psychic magic wielders) that feels very now. It's not period or high fantasy in any way. It kind of feels like urban fantasy with no Earth in it.

He's also done some vampire books, but the book that makes me most want to see his take on S4 onwards is "To Reign In Hell", which is about the fall of Lucifer (with him as antagonist). I love his dry witty take on angelic dealings. I'd totally recommend that of his first. It's a standalone, and even though it's at least 20 years old, it's a very good example of his wit still.

He's one of the Will Shetterly Emma Bull crowd, and you can totally tell. I don't know if he has any official ties with Gaiman, but much of his work has that sort of a spin on things. He's also got some high fantasy, and he also has a novel-length Firefly fanfic (so you know he's cool, see?).

I don't know if he has any official ties with Gaiman,

They're friends. Brust shows up in the background of a couple of Sandman stories.
