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'm sure Lost generates tons of attention at Comic Con and the like, but you're already selecting for the fannish there, so it doesn't quite count.

I wonder what the largest viewership shows with conventions while they're actually airing would be? And TNG and the like wouldn't count, since the conventions predated that incarnation.

It all comes back down to what defines fannish, and who's ever answered that question?

Because books.

I would guess either Buffy or Supernatural, but I actually have no idea or data.

I would like to go to a con as, like, a fly on the wall. That's about it. Or something like ComicCon would be fun maybe.

I went to WonderCon for the first time this year. It was amazing and I will go again. But here's the thing. I walked down the aisle with the actors and was completely uncomfortable. I do not want to ever do that again. I just prefer my actors playing characters on tv. I learned with this trip I don't want to meet them up close and personal. It's the motts for me. [hopefully I used that right]

On the other hand, meeting and talking to authors and visual artists? Extraordinary.

My own experience aside, I'm still completely fascinated by the cons and wish to understand what makes one show click in that fannish way while another seemingly ideal candidate does not.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Smallville? BSG? The Stargates NSM. Firefly has been pretty large, but only post-airing. Was due South a late adapter's darling, as well? Farscape was small. X-Files, maybe?

I love this. It's not a coda, it's an outtake, a deleted scene.

Beverly that was hurty and lovely at the same time. Perfect.

Can't you just see him straightening Sam's collar, tugging his sleeves even, brushing off the front of his jacket--hands busy while he's talking, just like when Sam was eleven, and not even knowing he was doing it? Or just wanting his hands touching Sam while he could and this was a way without wrecking either of them.

The brotherly advice about HELL. Oh Dean, Oh Sammy.

What does that for you?

I've mostly had positive encounters with the actors that I've met, though those were in random situations. It's irritating when one's a dick and you can't forget that when watching them work, but you run the risk of learning that of any role on the show.

It's not a coda, it's an outtake, a deleted scene.

Boys! Though I do wonder--is Michael just roaming around hell, was Lucifer just roaming hell before, or is there somewhere in particular they'd be confined to? Would Sam have any autonomy? Hrrm.

Man, it's going to be a long few months. I hope to find a bunch of fic to fill it up with that radiates with the sort of love I got from the finale--even if they're hurty fics.

Well it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Dean has 40 years' worth of experience and he wouldn't let his little brother walk into that completely unprepared.
