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.

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

If you're writing an article about superhero TV shows, and you raise the idea of Person of Interest as a superhero show in order to dismiss it as not one--don't you need to consider Supernatural? Even if you're going to say "But magic!" Sam's psychic visions and hand of ipecac weren't spells. And if it doesn't count, it at least bears raising to dismiss *way* more than Person of Interest which has nothing whatsoever to do with the genre--they might as well mention 24, with Bauer's superpower of never taking a dump.

Oh my god, I just literally spit tea all over the place.

I could say I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure you'd sense my insincerity from where you're sitting...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The seasons of 24 weren't consecutive 24 hour periods, were they? Because if Freedom and America are on the line and one's racing the clock every waking moment, holding off til the next morning doesn't strike me as all that amazing.

It's not like he was peeing either. I know I can make it through a movie without a break, but I tip my hat to his patriotic endeavour.

Something julie said made me wonder--is there much MPREG Wincest? Is much (any) considered good, or written well by respected authors?

I just looked at the Keep It In The Family community, and there's 129 tags for it. As for quality, I wouldn't know.

I'm not sure what that means. I'm assuming that's a Wincest community, right? And by tags you mean the number of MPREG-tagged fics, then? Is that the dominant Wincest community? Does that represent a lot of the fics there, or a tiny fraction?


Amy - Jul 22, 2012 4:19:37 am PDT #25963 of 30002
Because books.

I know of at least one respected and popular author who wrote a long, multi-chapter MPREG Wincest fic: poisontaster's The Killing Moon.

Yeah. There's 14,000 journal entries, but they're not as good at making sure all entries are properly tagged. The highest used tag is around 4000, and that's Sam/Dean. I don't know if it's equivalent to Groped By An Angel, but it seemed to contain a lot of badness (both quality of writing and dark!fic). I ran away pretty quickly.
