'Get It Done'
[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.
I'm not sure I want a Charlie show, and I definitely don't want a Christian Kane show, much as I love him. He's too ... something for Supernatural, even if it's not really Supernatural.
I think they said they were introducing completely new characters, so I'm not sure we've met the pilot people yet.

Thus the side-eye. I don't want "Some Totally Random Other People Fight Monsters Like The Winchesters, Except They're Not Brothers."
Most of the people that would be happy to have Charlie take over now would have been happy to have her take over barely into her second episode. Remember--Gabe was only here for four. I'd have given Rufus or Jody or Missouri or Sarah...maybe it's the meds now...but one of the things I like about the show is that they can get me...Pamela! Sexually assaulting her way through haunted houses of Chicago!
Just saying.
I think that they're ignoring some very tasty morsels, but that speaks to their ability to create people that linger.
I actually wrote up a Bobby+Rufus on IO9, lemme see if...yeah someone found it for me... [link] That would be great. Fuck, Gabriel could visit and I wouldn't be pissed.
My sister is visiting this weekend. Operation: SPN Brainwash to commence! MWAHAHAHAHA! I am really looking forward to it!
I never wanted to Charlie to take over, but I'd love to see her in her own series, with occasional guest Winchester guest appearances (not enough of those to interfere with main Show -like once or twice per season at most. Maybe less often than that).
By take over, I mean take over her own show. It didn't take all that long for people to love her, which is why I don't grump at the idea of introducing new characters because I won't warm to them--it's only because that means so many people we already love aren't getting a shot.
Oooh, maychorian may be continuing the "Coming Down On A Sunny Day" story. She's got two scenes up, and seems to be planning on bigbang-styling the rest of it.
Does anyone know anything about the writer the0voice0from0above? I decided to hunt down a fic they'd written that I hadn't seen anything of recently, and all their stuff is gone from AO3. I thought it was just the difficulty of the title, AΩ, but I found a cached page that's all dead links.
Now I'm sad! It's been a bad week, it continues to be a bad week, and you know when a small thing takes on disproportionate importance?
Case. In. Point.
fucking fandom and their fucking lack of accountability to ME
Dammit, research has shown me that the disappeared writer was one of my favourites with AUs, even though the way I was plundering AO3 meant I wasn't paying attention to authors (and if I had, I could have read everything she wrote! but I have addressed that issue recently and independently). She wrote the enhanced healing D/C where Dean was a cage fighter paying of Sam's debt, and Cas was a doctor pulled into the underworld of cage fighting initially reluctantly. She wrote the one where the Welding School (Dean) moves into the same buildings as the ballet school (Cas). And at least one PWP I remember enjoying too...needless to say, the other cached summaries look interesting too.
Don't make that error, boys and girls! Explore the author's (or the artist's--someone went through and liked 15-20 of my pictures--tickled me pink to know someone took the time to go through everything) whole work. I need to make sure I read everything couchcarrot has written--that AU where Cas is the wacky next door neighbour and Dean has trouble coming out, but secrets of his own grabbed me hard.
Which reminds me--Juliebird, I know you read this author--she was on FF.NET mainly--she wrote an AU of *everything* and anything, and usually made all her premises...jollysnidge! I set up alerts on her LJ, which was scattershot at best with that one porn is illegal and Dean is straight (Cas is the model who becomes his porn star who becomes...) AU. Do you know if she's still writing? She was doing a lot of original work which cut down on her fic--I feel like a heel for never trying her original work, since her fic was pretty creative (I felt she did a good job of writing Cas' character into all sorts of disparate environments, which is the first place AUs (and not just AUs) fail). But she was scratching an OTP itch, and...yeah. Some people I'd try faster, but not novels at first. I'd need short stories to lure me in.
Ah, well. I haven't rec-ed much fic recently, because at first I was reading everything, and then I was reading much less.
I just got an alert on Familiarity, where Dean and Sam discover they are witches, and Cas and Gabe are their familiars (the S/G hasn't made me barf yet) and Dean is resistant to explore his more considerable power and Castiel is resultantly miserable, which reminded me I was enjoying it and was eager to know the next developments--right now it's 8 chapters of a WIP, so if you're WIP-allergic, now's not a good time.
Ink 'Til I'm Human is a short and introspective post-fall first time D/C piece. I'm liking a lot of the post fall D/C.
Halfway by anythingtoasted (pastrymisha on tumblr--my favourite new D/C follow) is post fall--it's complete. It's a slow and sad story of Cas's journey through (into?) becoming human. I was addicted to this after the first chapter I found on tumblr--it'll be much less fraught reading 8 complete chapters. I do and don't envy you if you do.
PWP: Pie Without Plot is a slow burn (not sure if they're together yet) D/C WIP which is some of the things I hate (they stop hunting and domesticate), but it's sweet, and good lord--the descriptions of pastries and other baked delights--it might be worth it just for those. If you don't ship D/C, 17 chapters in (I see they've written two more since I last looked) it could still be a fun read.
Together They Fight Crime is abandoned (no 2013 updates, anyway, but it's an interesting premise. All the people we know as angels are teenaged psychics, and they're herded and used and abused by the government. Dean's a hunter for the FBI. Paths cross, hurt/comfort (major whump) ensues. D/C, of course.
Grotesque is a D/C Beauty and the Beast. It kind of devolved into schmoopy, and she lost her grip on Castiel, but the first seven or so chapters were delicious--maybe it'll pick up again, or maybe just more naked sex everywhere. EITHER WAY.
Shit, which one is the baseball story--Dean's a pitcher, Cas is the...huh, how am I just seeing this now?...catcher, slow burn, more detail about baseball than I care about, but since it's character work through the sport, I get it. JESUS. Way to hide yourself by being too clever: Hey, baby. What's your sign?. WIP, maligns John (some of the others may too, it's just too FUCKING HARD TO AVOID) but at least she tagged it.
Okay, and I have a question, but too many people won't see it after all that.
