'Serenity'
[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 think I can handle meta in a comedy (like Psych) better than I can in a drama. On Supernatural, the meta tends to give me hives, and I shout at the screen "oh, my god, STOP DOING THAT."
In other news, I have been and continue to be totally on board with the Dean/Ellen train WHOOT WHOOT.

My iPhone agrees. (What? It's totally my writing pad now.)
SADLY, this means I need to a: hurry up before I'm Jossed (I'd love to be Kripked, but I fear that won't happen); and b: not read Dotfic's until I've finished.
Mrph.

So far, Psych loses for not being able to resist mentioning The Mentalist. I can't explain why I don't think that's remotely funny, but I can't get over Dean's disgust at Wincest.

I need to admit my cluelessness on this. What are the definitions of being Jossed and being Kripked?
Being Jossed means canon does not follow your projected storyline. Being Kripked means canon falls pretty much in line with what you wrote.
There are a huge number of fans of SPN who are not only not a part of fandom, but who are unaware of fandom. And then there are those in fandom who are adamantly opposed to slash of any kind, and for whom incest is considered an abomination. Dean's disgust with the idea of Wincest doesn't surprise me at all.
It's one thing for fans of pulp books to write and share their own stories, including but not restricted to Wincest. It's quite another for a character who's "living" a "real life" to admit any interest in or approval of such a notion, is I think where that attitude is coming from.
Thank you. I had been kind of guessing correctly on the Jossed part of things, but I totally didn't get the Kripked angle.

Like my work buddy! Yes, explaining Wincest to him was... awkward. "People really write that?"
(As opposed to other work buddies, who TOTALLY got why I thought the idea of Jar Jar/Wicket was the BEST THING EVER.)
I should be clear--when I say I can't get over it, I think it's some of the funniest meta I've ever seen. Comes easier to me as a non-Wincest fan, I suppose, but it reminds me of Ed Quinn's reaction to hearing of Jack/Stark slash.
Oh, dear god, Dean getting Castiel laid is hitting my embarrassment squick so hard.
Also, WTF? But I suppose the whole idea of angels as genderless beings of enormous power kind of went out the door with Anna, anyway. Still. Ewwww.
Also, why would Castiel act embarrassed? He's an angel of the frickin' Lord, not a college freshman with a bad case of backne.
