"Son, Your Mother and I Are Worried About the Quality of Your Supernatural Slash Fiction," by Nathan Kamal: [link]
Son, I want you to know that this isn’t a criticism. Your mother and I are happy that you’re getting your ideas for the sexual tension between the troubled angel Castiel and that wisecracking scamp Dean Winchester down on paper. That scene when they end up having to sleep skin to skin in Hell because Lucifer has extinguished its fires and they lost their clothes and they need to stay warm? That could have been straight out of the show.
Except for the penetration, of course.
X-posted with Fan Fiction, if I can find the right thread.
Has anyone been watching The Winchesters? What do you think?
Hey, Cindy. I feel like an awful fan because I haven't watched either Walker or The Winchesters. Walker is just not my thing, much as I love Jared, and I think I'm afraid to watch the other because I don't want it to completely suck.
That said, I am curious about how they're squaring this telling with the accepted story of how John and Mary met. Have you watched it?
Amy, I tried a couple of episodes of Walker, when it premiered, but I didn't like it.
One of the reasons I've kept watching The Winchesters, is to see how they square the John/Mary origin story they're now telling, with the events of S4.E3, "In the Beginning," and S5.E13, "The Song Remains the Same."
I don't know if it is any good or not, tbh. It is nowhere as good as Supernatural, and the music has disappointed (when it should be terrific, so I'm guessing it is a budget issue). I am fond of the John and Mary characters, so I'm a little more invested than I ought to be.
I hadn't been watching The Winchesters because I was confused by the "prequel" aspect and then how different it was from what had been established on the show. But from the reactions of Tumblr it's like AU/fix it fanfic type of thing, kind of . So I decided to give it a shot and so far I'm enjoying it, I've seen the first 2 episodes especially if I'm just looking at it as an alternate universe type thing.
The hair whip thing in The Winchesters was absolutely OTT and cheesy but I have to say I'm not mad at it at all.
I saw that! All on the same day, apparently. He's, as he said, lucky to be alive.
Supernatural actor news --- DJ Qualls (Garth) and Ty Olsson (Benny) are engaged. They first met at a SPN convention they were both at and they clicked and became friends and more and now are engaged! It's really sweet.
