Oh, J2/SPN fandom . . . Why?
Jan. 17th, 2010 04:46 pmOkay, I'm sure that most of you have all heard about the craziness going on within the Jensen/Jared community about the boys getting married and whether or not it's just a PR scam. Now, I don't have anything against RPF obviously considering where I spend my online time, but apparently, I happen to be one of those rare individuals who can compartmentalize and recognize reality from fantasy. That probably came out a little harsher than I intended, and I'm totally not pointing fingers at anyone on my flist -> y'all are sweethearts and not just compared to the slavering nut jobs on
spn_gossip.
I think I might be done with J2 fic.
It's all kinda sounds the same now anyway. I haven't read any Jensen/Jared for over a month now, but I'm pretty sure that it's been awhile since I read something that I really, really enjoyed. There hasn't been anything new, just revamps of the same kind of plotline with the same characteristics used over and over again.
I still love Supernatural -> the show and the fandom.
I can't wait for the new episodes to start, and I'll be on the hell yeah bandwagon for a season six. : ) I love Sam and Dean as characters and in their story arc more than most other television that I've watched. That's unlikely to change soon if ever.
I'm still a fan of Jared and Jensen.
I think the boys are still entertaining and enjoy watching them work. I'll check out what ever project that they fall into next and at least give it a fair shot. Unless for some reason it's about Sooners, but that's a whole 'nother cup of tea.
I don't know whether to go to the LA Con or not.
I still wouldn't mind meeting/watching (but not in the creepy way) them in person, but I'm feeling a little more awkward about doing so at a convention now. My friend (who is not in fandom and has no idea that these shenanigans happen with alarming frequency in the SPN/J2 fanspace) and I have gold tickets and photo-ops with Jensen, Jared, and the J&J sandwich. I guess that I just can't decide between the potential fun of hanging out with friends, seeing the SPN cast, buying crap I don't need and the potential embarrassment squick if something bad happens or the cast is Not Amused TM by the bullshit that a couple of "fans" have been pulling.
IDK. Advice, please?
