I read a fic where Dean had Type I diabetes, and the author said she had help from friends who worked with diabetic patients, and it was so wrong.

Dean needed to eat, and was already trembly, but showered first (which was dumb), and then Sam reminded him to take his insulin, which he did, and then he passed out. Which makes sense, because if you're already shaking with low blood sugar, you EAT FIRST, you don't add more insulin on top of it.

Baffling. I was only insulin-dependent during pregnancy, and *I* know this stuff.

Cherry pie:

I also don't get why Kali is included in the SPN/Hogwarts fusion and Baldur and Mercury aren't.

Which, like ita said, not my AU, but still.

I guess Kali gets traction because her role was bigger in Hammer of the Gods, plus she had an explicit back history with Gabriel, and she survived it. I don't feel like I know anything about Baldur or Mercury--I'd not really be tempted to include them in anything, or even that there'd be that much canon to be bound by (more for Baldur than Mercury--I can at least remember what he looks like). But Kali had a bigger impact on fandom, I think. I don't remember reading or seeing either Baldur or Mercury in any fic or art.

I don't get her appeal, but I don't dislike her. I don't find her especially talented, or especially attractive (on the level of me wondering if maybe that's the appeal that bypasses any lacking of talent). Is it the geek cred?

The Guild is a brilliant creation, at times painfully funny. She's talented enough as a writer to have created one of the most successful web series out there. I find her entertaining and somewhat inspiring.

I don't remember reading or seeing either Baldur or Mercury in any fic or art.

I don't either, but Mercury at least had as much screen time as Kali in that episode.

And she's got Pastor Jim in there, who had all of three minutes on screen, so her choices just seem a little quirky to me. But, like you said, her AU, her sandbox.

Mercury at least had as much screen time as Kali in that episode.

But not as much plot, or roots, or, IMO quality of interaction with the regulars.

As for Pastor Jim, I think he's pretty random, but roots to the Weechesters are a big deal. Gets Caleb in a bunch of places too.

Well, like I said, her sandbox, her rules. But I don't understand how you include Kali, or Rachel, when you're not including John or Mary, or even Samuel. It just seems random.

Parents, at the school? Their absence makes sense to me. She made Bobby Castiel's adoptive father, because she started with the core four from last season, and I think it's already awkward as hell (NSM in pictures, but in the fic that's being written to accompany it). If you put the Winchesters or Campbells family Hogwarts as well, it would make even less sense.

But you do have parent involvement at Hogwarts. Think of the Malfoys.

I'm just saying she's doing it wrong because ... it's not the way I would do it. But then I wouldn't write a Hogwarts fusion, most likely, because I don't necessarily want two beloved texts being mashed together.

But you do have parent involvement at Hogwarts.

Not in this picture, though. Mercury probably doesn't exist in this universe. John and Mary just aren't at Hogwarts. That's the scope of the picture. Everyone in it is at Hogwarts.
