This has been floating around the internet for a while.
It gives me Sam and Dean thoughts, perhaps because of the younger sibling being longer haired and pouting, and the older sibling standing there straighter - and I can see kid Dean doing the same, trying to push aside his annoyance and being the quiet, responsible, good boy, daddy's soldier.



Hmm. On an unrelated note - yesterday at class the discussion reached men not being allowed to seriously use the word "daddy". I hadn't slept for over 30 hours, and I remember, from far away, being pretty expressive and hand-wavy. Hmm. Can I claim I was possessed by questionably well intentioned glowy-eyed thing?

Summary: What could happen after 904, but won't.


( Sam is worryingly secretive about what's gonna happen to the Lannisters )

( This part contains vague references to season 9 )

It's common these days, in more and more sorts of research, to talk about what's considered "normal", "universal", "not worth mentioning, because of course". Like someone being a white straight man. You know the drill. The common approach today (or, at least, around me) is to look at it as something that is specific, too, not universal. Like- being a man is specific, men aren't "general people". And in one way, most research in existence is about men, canonical everything is written mostly bu men and so forth, but in another way, there's not a lot of research about masculinity itself.

It's interesting to me to look at fic that's like that, in SPN, our "usual" fic. Or at least, your usual Sam/Dean or Sam & Dean fic, I don't read enough of the others to know, and I am curious to hear about this in other places in fandom, if you know and feel like saying.

I'd say your garden variety fic is "not season specific", but it takes place around season 3, minus the deal, give or take the angels and Sam's muscles. Motel rooms, following cases from town to town, diners, bringing each other coffee/take out in the morning (have they ever, ever done that in canon before last episode?), they know about possession and demons, if there are angels around, they're not central, nobody is crazy or suicidal or an alcoholic, and they don't know about fic. Dean's likely to hit on random (gorgeous) girls, Bobby's around and walking, The Trickster is around in either persona, Crowley probably isn't.

Even with fic that's less specific than that, it's often easy to tell around what season stories were written, the same way decades have indications in fashion and music. Vibe, characterizations, small things that became non-canon, the description of Sam's body and hair, And, of course, bigger things like each character's mental place, the way the audience is expected to think about their relationship, and how they're likely to act.

It's really interesting to me that "first time", while perhaps more central, is far from being obvious in this sort of fic. It might be cause it makes PWPs easier, but I don't think that's why. Perhaps it's because to many people, they sort of always had a relationship. Perhaps it because it's been so long, we get it, they're together, and as I took to yelling at the screen, watching SPN for the first time - there's only so much UST you can drive your audience crazy with before they gather outside the network offices with farm tools and take Show from you. Which is, of course, the low tech version of writing fic.

( It seems like in seasons 8-9 )

OMGOMGOMGOMG, this will be like the days of J2 living together, only with more of a community and more orgies. I want ALL THE FIC! :D
And I want Vicky and Jensen to have a bunch of good talks, please. OMG!

Fangasm:
"Misha: he and Jared and Jensen were talking about all renting a house together in Italy next year with the families."

So - please, please, pretty please, may I have some new non-au, well characterized RPS...
And thank you to big_heart_june for pointing to this!

"thousands of superpowered dicks touching down, and we got no idea where to start"





Where's my slightly inappropriate, possibly sexist or homophobic or incredibly slashy Dean response ? Are we done with those? :/
Or just:

You're gonna need a bigger mouth.

(ok, now I feel dirty)

Your fandom stories are needed!
Two US agencies are holding hearings on copyright reform; enough powerful people (ok, companies) think that copyright law needs changing that this might actually happen. Don't let it happen without fannish voices: the OTW is soliciting stories of how creating transformative works has helped people in day-to-day life, whether that's through building language skills, video editing, writing, coding, or anything else. You don't need to provide personal information, but the more specific the better. You can submit your story through this form. We need to speak up, or we'll be left out.

Go tell your stories!
And if you feel like it, tell me too/tell them on lj too, I want them as well :)
