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.

I did actually run across a story that confused prostrate/supine, but that was such a breath of fresh air, I couldn't even be mad at her.

As far as segue goes, it's an argument I've had more than once. Those arguments are so much simpler in the days of the red squiggly. And sources like Wordnik take it to an even higher level.

Faze/phase drives me nuts.

I think so few people have been taught the word "faze" that, well, I'm less than fazed by it.

Oh, oh...I recently bumped into confusion between passed and past. Arrrggg.

There seems like way more Brits writing SPN fic in the past 6-8 months. As in people putting foreign words into Winchester mouths.

I had a pissy fit this morning about Sarah Blake. The term "fridging" loses meaning if you apply it to her and not Jenny Klein. You're about at "Mary Sue" levels of meaninglessness--basically "that thing in the narrative with a woman that bothered me" except Mary Sues decently often survive (especially these days, with the watered down terminology).

Because books.

That wasn't fridging, especially given the circumstances.

Sure, Sam was probably more upset when it was Sarah, and Dean was more upset when Sam was upset, but they were already upset. It didn't change the plot's direction, her unique relationship with them wasn't why she died...if every dead woman anyone gives a fuck about is a fridging, there isn't fridging anymore.

This. Also, though, I think Dean remembered how good they were together, and what he'd said about her to Sam, and the contrast with where they are now versus then ... At least, in my head, that's what he was thinking, anyway.

I have SO MANY ideas for fic this summer, but they're mostly about Castiel and Crowley. Which feels wrong, except for how Castiel is really Dean/Castiel, so that's nice.

And by that I do NOT mean Castiel/Crowley. I mean, stories about Cas, stories about Crowley. To be perfectly clear. Not that someone out there hasn't written the former, I'm sure.

Not just SPN fic. I run into so many Britishisms in Teen Wolf stories these days, it's left me wondering what new thing American teenagers have started doing for fun in lieu of writing fanfiction.
