citrusjavaOne year ago today, I got into Supernatural. And I was planning on doing a thing, but it turns out the whole fandom has a Supernatural birthday today too! :D
It's kinda awesome that SPN shares my SPN anniversary (ok, the other way around). The only likely conclusion is that some fans cast a spell last year, to bring new fans into the fandom, and I'm one of them. Thank you for not making me fall in love with a donkey, you guys!
So maybe I'll do a thing in the near future, today wanna tell my "getting into SPN" story :)
I was really into Sherlock, and going crazy over the lack of new episodes. And there was this show I was told was not a shallow misogynistic icky one, though it seemed to be. I'd tried watching a few episodes*, but it just didn't really catch me. But I had nothing to watch, so I gave it yet another shot, deciding to disregard the spoiler problem and start from season 4. After School Special. And then I stayed for anther ep, and another, watched five or so that night.
And I thought - this is great! It'll be like methadone, get me over the Sherlock cravings, and it's safe, it's not anything I'm gonna fall in love with!
Happy birthday, Supernatural, show and fandom. I love you.

*the one with Amber Benson and a bunch of one around it, and Windego, as it turned out, but though it was sorta nice to unexpectedly stumble across a "Tara" episode, and the ep was sort of OK...

Date: 2013-09-13 04:10 pm (UTC)Wow, that's from even before the beginning! Sounds really wonderful. I'm trying to catch up on early Jensen Ackles, some of the movies and series', watched his season of Smallville (seriously, is there anything that guy did that didn't involve incest?!), and some of the DOOL on youtube - I'd have loved to watch his whole part there.
It's amazing that the show got you into fandom like that! *Awesome*, awesome story!
What's your tattoo? Sounds like a good one to have, I like its meaning to you.
Ooh, tough choice! I prefer fandom to the show, though I'm not sure fandom would stick around without the show, and it's hard sometimes without new things to play with... for inspiration and juice...
Also, there's the creators, to me, too. I know it's wank (sorry), but I'm still broken hearted about Jensen and his comment to that bi fan. I mean - it made me cry, it changed my relationship with the show/fandom.
So. So yeah, that means a lot to me too... don't mind the politics of the actual show as much - I'd mind if they were awesome, but when they're transphobic or glorify the glorious glory of white guys it's just - eh, show... that sort of thing I mostly laugh about or speculate about with people - bless fandom!

Date: 2013-09-13 04:46 pm (UTC)I have what I think is the most badass Dean tattoo ever, but of course I'm completely biased.*G*.........http://meesasometimes.livejournal.com/32401.html...........pics there on my journal. It's from TorCon where Jensen signed it and I'm having his signature tattooed on. Yes, I'm crazy and obsessed that way. I feel like you were forewarned tho :P oh wait, I can add a photo to this comment, this is the stuff I always fail at.
though I'm not sure fandom would stick around without the show, STOP IT!!! You're feeding my abandonment. fear. I cannot bear to think of the shelf life of fandom when the show is over. :( I'll be the last fan standing.
but I'm still broken hearted about Jensen and his comment to that bi fan I don't know this comment. I know the general gist of what your saying tho with the show politics and choices, but hooray for fandom.

Oh, please, crazy and obsessed? My life is tied to my fandom(/s) in many ways, and it's meaningful and people who say mean things about it shouldn't ever get spanked.
Abandonment - Sorry, sorry sorry sorry, I fear that too... {hug-if-you-want-it}
The comment - he was just :(
I'll guess you'd rather not know and drop it.
