I think she was simply shorthanding with "teenagers + werewolves," not the actual plot of the show.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Chronicle parallel is SO huge. I'm not sure why she'd go TW (yeah, I could read the piece and stop wondering, I know) which they don't recap, over Chronicle which they raved about...other than click bait, which makes me sad.

I've never even heard of Chronicle!
BTW, my bff bought me a daypass for the Chicago Con - for Sunday. It will be cool to see the con friends.

You should rent it. I was hesitant about found footage (never saw Blair Witch for no good reason) and heard a lot of people saying it was over, but most of them retracted it when they saw the film. I think there's only 1 scene where the conceit doesn't make sense, but the energy of the cinematography isn't at all circumscribed or the blocking forced.
Story's also cool--3 kids find an artifact, and superpowers ensue. And...this is probably how it would go down, given the diversity of personalities of teenagers. So, replace artefact with pureblood werewolf, and it's a very similar story, except without the Brokeback FBI.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I think what bothered me the most about the ep is how those two chuckleheads got so close to Sam and Dean without them noticing them crashing around in the bushes videotaping them and whispering loudly.
Now I truly long for an outsider pov ep that really is an outsider pov revealing insights into Sam and/or Dean. Make it like the Winchesters are the case/MotW. A waitress at a diner or a B&B owner who has dreams of being a PI and starts snooping on the boys for acting weird and inexplicable and hashing out theories with her roomies/friends.

They record them from behind a bush for maybe three sentences. All the other times are in plain view behind the police perimeter or from inside the house. It's not exactly ninja activity.
I don't know if I'd like the third person to be about them coming from strangers. I mean, the Bobby ep was fine--it was great--I care about his point of view of the boys. But workplace romance jibes and the convention/Ghostfacer comments are about the level of input I want from other people--seriously--the waitress better be gay, otherwise that conversation is going to read like 1/3 of this thread, and again--I'd rather hear that from people I'm familiar with.

I hope you enjoy it. I think it was both fun and good.
There seems to be a small uptick in Dean POV Dean/Castiel again. The opportunities for finding more Cas Tastes Like entries seem to be increasing. I'm not entirely sure why there was a shift in the other direction. I mean, once I'd finished going back in time for the fics I'd already read, new fics seemed to turn up reasonably frequently from Dean's point of view and be appropriately descriptive.
Which reminds me, tropes that need to die: (AU) Dean thinking Castiel's parents must have been weird/hated him to name him that; "Wait! When did I start calling him Cas?" Dean thinks to himself; "No one's ever given me a nickname before, Dean. I like it."
Seriously, people. It's starting to rival Sam's dumb hair and the numbered bitchfaces.
Just finished a pretty thoughtful BDSM D/C : [link] it's sort of how they stumble into it, but not in a funny way at all--Dean has to come to terms with memories from Hell and why Cas wants this, etc. Kind of hard to envision some of the things she describes, but I think the mental states were the important part, and those were well-painted.

The position Cas put Dean in took some thought to imagine, yeah. Great fic, though. And the Sam aside was brilliant.

Yeah, there's not much room for him in a story that's that much about how Dean and Cas have sex, and what it means to them, but it was a great dash of humour into the story, and well-timed, considering.
Her Cas is totally not my Cas, but she sold him well, and I'm good with him in this story, espacially inasmuch as it gets us inside Dean's head, because that is kind of my Dean, and that's who I was drawing when I tied him up too.
