I got distracted in that task, by things including this: [link]

I find that deeply disturbing, not because of Wincest overtones, since J2, but because FOUR EARS EACH.

How can she draw that???? Make it go away! Mommy!

eta: dig this description of petite madame--it blows my mind

I’m 5”2 (160 cm), brunette with the right side of my head shaved. I have brown eyes. I have 20mm ear stretch on both ears and lots of tattoos. (I have piercings too) [...] I have tattoos on my whole back and ribs and I am saving to start a half sleeve. I designed them myself, it’s a mix between flowers, gears and..Alice in Wonderland (no Disney!!) ^^

Well Matt kind of harshed on Adam. And I don't think there is really anything to hold against Adam.

Every moment of his screentime was like nails on a chalkboard to me. Do not care for the character (or the actor that played him) At All.

i'm with Matt. i'm super annoyed that he's playing my favorite character in The Host movie.

He broke my heart twice. Maybe three times. Once by really being a ghoul, once for falling for an ultimate authority dangling the ultimate temptation (like Dean wouldn't have gone for it if Sam had been the reward), and maybe third when Dean decided so quickly that he only needed Sam out and there was no reason to work at getting Adam out.

That worked for me on paper, and that worked for me as acted.

Okay--having both Cas and Dean use lol (not even LOL) when texting makes me want to spork my eyes, but having Cas own the Impala? What is even the point? Don't do that. And..lol? Seriously?

So, there was a D/C knotting fic where the author felt it necessary to make Dean and Cas brothers.

Really? Incest isn't just a roadblock to work around, but something desired by an author? Has fandom become so desensitized that it's not an obstacle, but a kink that is necessary to produce the drama in a story? Because, geez, what a boring story it would be with Dean going into heat and Cas knotting him. Let's add some spice, let's make them brothers.

Oh, and the Sir disservice extends to RPS, which, yes, I read, and 8* times out of 10, JDM is the evil evil villain of the piece when he is in it.

* stats are totally not based on actual facts, just the impression of the sh*t that I've read.

I want to tell JDM that this perception he has of the show ruining Sir's character--no, that's just the psychic bleedthough from the fanfic. Show actually had Sam saying he forgave Sir and loved him, and even without a soul named a child after him.

Some of the fans, on the other hand.

And, yeah, I saw the brother-knotting fic too. I checked the pairings, thought fine, dived in, screamed, backed out. Because even if it's fake brothers (unlike the totally true siblinghood of Sam and Dean) COME ON. I already step around the Wincestiel or the D/C with some S/D. Why you gotta smush it all together? If you can't make it hot with them unrelated, you're writing it wrong.

And I'm gonna keep being pouty about that, as flawed an argument as it might be.

Because I can see if Sam and Dean being brothers gives a kick that you like to Wincest. The tang of their relationship. But it's a relationship that's been created by the show, isn't it? I mean, just showing up and saying the word "brother" surely can't conjure up something similarly heady without the weight behind it...is the kink that easy?

I mean, at least as far as the story got, it seemed PWP. The author didn't give much brotherly history by the time I balked and fled. just said that they were brothers.

IO9 previews a SPN tie-in novel: [link]

There's a creepy guy who never posts without saying he writes tie-ins and cites the extra knowledge this gives him (hey, he met Jim Beaver at a con!), and thankfully this is by him, otherwise it would have been a clusterfuck of weird.

However, the bit where he fails to get a Carver Edlund reference is pretty awkward anyway.

Having flipped to that straight from a piece of fic, it's...pretty boring. Nothing happens, and no matter how many times he makes excuses for it...still, nothing really happens. Characters seem fine, but nothing I haven't seen in fic, you know? It's alright. Although...nothing happens.

I'm trying to decide where in S7 it goes--they know Frank, it's post the doppleganger spree, they're travelling with Bobby. I'll have to look at the episode list to be sure.

However, the bit where he fails to get a Carver Edlund reference is pretty awkward anyway.

Ahahahahaha! Oh, that's priceless.

I do not get the knotting fics. I just don't. Plei has "kindly" linked me to some in multiple fandoms, and the whole thing just makes me tilt my head and go "buh?".

Where did that whole AU concept come from, for one thing? Did some fic writer come up with it, and everyone glommed onto it? Or is there some sf/fantasy book that I've never heard about? I'm so confused.

It's really sad how he explains that there are writers on staff called Carver and Edlund, and the fan who'd mentioned it is all "ooookay, then". Ah, well.

It's not like all ficwriters have a lock on canon. I just read a Sam PoV fic which needed Ameripicking something awful (no arse, ever...just no), but this:

When someone comes back from the dead you have to shoot them with salt, douse them with holy water and cut them with iron. If they pass all of these tests you tie them to a chair and try to exercise the demon out of them just in case

HAVE YOU SEEN THE SHOW??? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? Like, how many shots at goal are you going to take and still not score? Okay--I'll give them the dousing with holy water, although I say drinking is the preferred answer. ½ point, then.
