Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Because books.

It's just a different approach, and if you dug into it deep enough, you'd find motivations there that would probably serve as conflict anyway. (i.e. Why did he get the other guy a soda? Is he guilty about something? Is he in love? Does he owe him a drink?)

Whatever you want to call it, I just want a story to move somehow. Even in PWP, at least you get the action of the, uh, act itself, and the participants' reactions, which are (when they're done right) character notes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah--I'm wondering if it's a different lens or a different structure, I guess. And for that, I need examples.

It's ... both, I think? I'd have to see examples, too.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Things are getting hot and heavy in this particular fic. One character pulls out his duck.

I immediately thought, "that poor duck!" and had to skip to the end of the scene so I wouldn't be traumatized.

Coffee.

Dean song came up on my playlist. "Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch.

"Well I had a dream I stood beneath an orange sky With my brother standing by I said Brother, you know you know It’s a long road we’ve been walking on Brother you know it is you know it is Such a long road we’ve been walking on

But sister you know I’m so weary And you know sister My hearts been broken Sometimes, sometimes My mind is too strong to carry on Too strong to carry on

When I am alone When I’ve thrown off the weight of this crazy stone When I've lost all care for the things I own That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you You who are my home And here is what I know now Here is what I know now Goes like this... In your love, my salvation lies In your love, in your love, in your love"

I'm explaining the sister stuff as Jo reappearing from the dead in that episode I can't bring myself to watch again.

Hell, maybe it's a Sam song, too. It's mutual, after all. I guess as a Dean!girl my mind goes to him first.

Man, I'd love to see a gen vid to this.

One character pulls out his duck? What does that mean?

LOOK at the beard. He's a total mountain moose now. I approve.

Oh, that's rather obvious, and no, I didn't get it either, Amy. I wanted it to be a cock, but it was way too far away.

Oh, duh. I never think of dick! Well, I think of dick all the time, I just call it cock.
