MBV is the movie where Jensen accidentally clocked Kerr Smith in the face with a pickaxe handle, so on the basis of that alone the movie justified its existence.

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.
I heard Jensen tell that story, Matt. Good times.
Part of me isn't sure I can even do this another time.
That's my problem. I mean, I thought I was a huge, hardcore Whedonverse fan, and I am to various degrees, but my Supernatural fannishness? A little startling, even to me. I think my instinct is I probably *shouldn't* do this again.
I love Leverage, and I love White Collar, and I love Justified (which probably comes closest to the level of emotional angst I apparently need), but they're all too short, frankly. There's only so far I can go as a fan with twelve episodes here and twelve episodes there.

I think I'm in the process of emotionally disengaging from SPN and transferring my mania to Teen Wolf.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would love to see what SPN would have to do (or how I would have to change) in order for me to emotionally disengage. I think Teen Wolf is all sorts of fun, but it's never going to make me gasp and cry and cheer in the Pavlovian way Supernatural can. This I predict. Kripke has rerouted neural responses in me that will take years and repetition to undo. Carry On Wayward Son, Renegade, Knocking on Heaven's Door? I appreciate any show's attempt at trying, but I don't know if I have it in me to do that again. I don't know if I can break for characters the way I broke for the Winchesters (and Harvelles, and Singers, and odd angel...) again. Or cheer.

I feel the same way. Now I get what all those Smallville fans were doing in S17 or whatever. I'm in this till the end.

Man, I stuck all the way through The Shattered One, and it turns out that it was a gen fic through and through. Still, one of the only two mpreg fics that didn't make me blanch and back click. I did a lot of skimming because I don't like fics where the cast of characters becomes too bloated, which this did at times.

Gen MPREG? That seems to not even have a payoff for including something I'm not interested in (and is often a squick). But I don't read her fic, so I didn't click. My LJ note for her includes "Beware". And I saw who wrote Jude. My note for her is "Crap. THE STAR IS NOT BECAUSE YOU LIKE HER. IT'S BECAUSE SHE CAN'T WRITE." So, no, I never tried the story. Didn't even get as far as the title.

Most of my favorite authors aren't writing SPN anymore.

I'll admit she kind of shook my certainty with the ventures into Sam/Kevin and that alpha/omega kink fic, but I have confidence that when she returns to more mainstream stuff I'll be enthralled again.
