So I’ve just finished singing along to ‘Carry on my wayward son’ as renditioned in fan fiction…now one thing I must make clear is that I ABHOR (said in an extremely WASP accent) musicals. They make me want to stab myself in the throat. But fanfiction has me singing and swaying along like I eat musicals for breakfast. Beside the point.
Everyone in Fan Fiction is a girl except the guys and chuck and I was thinking that if it was an ode to fans, are they trying to say that every Supernatural fan is a chick? I mean it seems likely right? We are all in love with Sam and/or Dean but that’s not why we watch…okay not wholly why we watch. The story; its the story that drags you along with it; you just have to know what happened next because well…reasons.
But I guess it is the girls who have the tumblr pages, the fan fictions, the think pieces…maybe they/we are the ones who are OBSESSED and that’s why all the characters were girls. Fan girls be keeping the dream alive…long live fangirls!
Or is it that the boys are simply underground with the watching and obsessing? They don’t write stuff because hey let’s face it, guys are rarely good at logically arranging their thoughts in sequence in a way that’s understandable to others. I know because I’ve tried to listen to my son tell a story.
Anyway, whatever the reason, I’m sooo glad it happened this way because now there is a new season to look forward to with the same consistency yet newness to keep us hooked. I say this with extra feeling because the new season of Teenwolf just began; Tyler Hoechlin is MIA, I don’t get what’s going on, everyone is acting weird…I just feel really discombobulated right now…

What did you think of Fan Fiction?

Oh yeah. That last scene in the car.
You know, I think the show has basically gone as far as the network would allow it with the hinty hints. It really makes you wonder, doesn’t it.

Yep. might be a whole different show on HBO…:)
I also think that the writers were as affected by the perception of the watchers and their subsequent fan fictions as we are. And then they begun to ship wincest and thus their writing got more wincesty?

Maybe, but it’s also been there right from the Pilot. When Dean pins Sam to the furniture twice in one episode, clearly something is up. And their faces when Jess caught them arguing! So guilty.

You know you are so right. the first two seasons were also very very suggestive.

I may actually write a meta on this…
I found Season Ten incredibly suggestive too. Especially with the Destiel stuff tailing off.

ah, season 10 was just the winner of Wincest. link me if you do.

Plus, I know you said all fanfic you’ve read recently seems to be Sam throwing Dean against walls, but after that season there seems to have been an influx of it being the other way round…
I’ll take that as a challenge 🙂

Oh yeah, Demon!Dean in full effect. Haven’t read one I liked yet so I’ll await yours with bated breath. I feel like there is so much fodder for some really marvelous fic in season ten but people insist on going the obvious route; Dean is a demon, he’s kind of rough and rapey…Sam is helpless to resist…#sigh…

Rapey is the right word. I mean, Soul Survivor? Jeeesus. Ick.
Okay, I’m writing this tomorrow if it’s the last thing I do.
I did do a thing about demon dean and masculinity- here.

Plus this season Sam looked too skinny and ill to fight off 5”5 Cole, let alone his butch elder brother. Ick.

still, he’s Sam…he supposedly has mental power over Dean; doesn’t have to fight him off; just use your bloody puppy eyes that only came out in full force in the last episode and just generally the fact that Dean ‘needs’ him more than he needs Dean. Actually the whole of that needs to be in quotes.

Oh God, I know. Friggin’ puppy eyes. I cried at that scene.
Also, the Wincest game was strong in that episode.

Demon Dean at the end of Reichenbach, though… ‘what I’m gonna do to you, that ain’t gonna be mercy either’, and all the while EYEING Sam…

There is actually a VERY good fic about what he did to Sam after that. ;)…can’t remember its name though.

Okay, that sounds very sinister. Was it on Archive Of Our Own? Tell me if you remember that.
Love the Demon Dean episodes so much. They have such a different feel to all the others. So unbalanced.

Yes it’s on AO3. I seriously can’t remember what it was called though; Demon Dean used Sam’s ‘desire’ for him to er…fuck him unconscious and then escape.

I guess that’s why the vast majority of fan fictions are based then.
