idk if this adds some insight, but in talking to Adam Glass and Robbie Thompson, they asked me about what i'd like to see on the show. And I said that i was happy to go on whatever journey they wanted to take me. And Adam replied that he saw that while the writers told a story, he wanted us fans to go on our own journey with it, whatever that is. As a fan, i think thats a great attitude from any writer* God remember there are fandoms (hello GRR Martin) where writers think the existence of any fanon or fanworks at all is abhorent!
remember also that Adam and Robbie also slash themselves on twitter - i think they realise that most fans can accommodate canon, and subtext and fanon and fantasy without our heads exploding.
(* i also recognize that having met these guys a couple of times, they stop being "TPTB" for me and start being people who create something i like who i know have good intentions towards the story and characters and fandom. So when people start tweeting hate and accusations of homophobia at them i get a bit upset. )
