I had an urge to post...

...probably because it's supposed to be an episode reaction. But it's not, because there's ANOTHER GODDAMN HIATUS!! Boo hiss boo!!
So instead, a completely inane and pointless post.
There are things that are said or occur in fanfic regularly enough that it makes me wonder if I actually missed the references in canon. (I have seriously wondered these.... )
1. Did John ever tell his boys to "suck it up"? (or direct reference made to him saying that in the past). Or has Dean ever said that to Sam?
2. Have either of the boys ever run out of hot water while having a shower?
3. Have either of the boys ever called first dibs on the shower? Or said "don't take all the hot water"?
4. Has Dean ever called Sam "Samantha"? Or Princess? (I know Dean's called Sam "Francis" but the others...?)
5. Have we ever seen their first aid kit?
6. Have they ever kissed which has led to amazing sex? yeah...ignore that...
ETA (another one I thought of) Has Dean ever complained about Sam's long hair?
See? Completely inane. (It's been a looooooooong day. Without my show to pick me up. That's my excuse anyway...)
Carry on.

It really fascinates me about fanfiction and how some fans accept what's in fanon to be canon and that's why i have a love/hate relationship with fanfiction.
I think there are some talented writers and beautful written stories in supernatural which add a whole new depth to the characters and the story (as unfortunatley show is only for only 40 mins - boo)
But i also have problems when some fans think that fanon is canon and they know more about the characters and the show then the people who write the actual episodes - i know that the supernatural writers aren't perfect and do make mistakes -it's just that most of the time there are some fans complaining about charcaters being ooc or basically not up to the standards they have been built up to in fanfiction. - wow sorry that sounds bitchy, sorry, i'm having some issues with fandom.
Also my spellchecker is playing up so there is probably a lot of mispelt words - sorry.

Date: 2012-03-04 02:22 pm (UTC)It fascinates me how fanfic and canon and perceptions of characters work. There are indeed some incredible works and I am in awe of anyone who can write. I love that fic can fill in the gaps, or create histories or give us fix-its. I am also intrigued that certain tropes exist in fic that seem well accepted (like the ones I mentioned above).
But.. yes. I suspect writers can sometimes get so caught up in how they think the characters should be that they don't accept how they are actually presented on the show. Which is why fans become somewhat disillusioned in the show maybe (I can only speculate of course..).
Ooh.. you are the second person to mention the spellchecker. Maybe LJ is playing up...
