It's not that I have a particular hangup about maiming Dean, it's just that I can tell in her writing it's a kink of hers and it's very oh-no-not-again offputting. Somehow it reads like I've read it before when she writes it.
I started a long resolving-S9-issues fic and abandoned it recently because it felt...didactic. Like it wasn't just a story, but a knuckle rap to the writers. Since her problem was that Dean didn't have his own story, well, pretty much doomed from the git go. I can't remember the last time I read Sam written out of the story so summarily for anything other than porn reasons, and I'm a Dean or Cas oriented reader.
Sometimes stories are just stories, and sometimes they feel like axes being ground.
Can you believe I'm pissed off I didn't put the First in Dean's hand in the picture I just drew? It has over 500 notes, which is well ahead of anything else I've ever drawn, and now I want to fix it.
Ah, well. I will focus on the picture with the duckling or the tiger instead. And work on contentment with the current pic, because that's just a good thing to have.
Fic recommendation of the week: offbeat D/C where Cas is kinda Amish, kinda on his Rumsprigga (they're more hippy, but isolated and modest similarly) and a musical prodigy. The Family Business is classical music--Dean is a cellist riddled with stage fright that caused him to drop out of school, and Sam is a violinist studying at Juilliard.
Cas comes to school near Dean and ends up rooming with him. It's a slow sweet relationship that involves rope suspension and just about as much John-vilification as I can take. No wacky misunderstandings due to lack of communication in this one...hopefully it ends up on the good side of twee.
Appogiatura has been updating daily since I started reading it too--not long chapters, but enough.
Meta Fiction: Holy. Shit.
I missed the opener, and I have the feeling that this week I shouldn't have done that.
Amy, Meta fiction in the episode? Or somewhere online?
Meta Fiction is the title of the episode.
I should have said -- I just wanted to make sure my comment didn't look like a response to the post above it.
I love that IO9 said that Speight (no way that's spelt right) WAS NOT COMING BACK AT ALL.
I enjoyed what we had...
That was a very enjoyable episode.
I wonder what Metatron is going to do when Gadriel (Gadreel?) turns on him, cause, that's going to happen, right?
