In which I become famous

[caranfindel]

Yesterday, themegalosaurus alerted me to this little bit of fluff on Tumblr...

Did I say fluff? I mean life-changing moment. In case you missed it:



That's right, friends. I have been on E! News. The lovely crowroad3 and I were the focus of a groundbreaking story about the esteemed literary genre of Supernatural fanfiction. (You'll notice we both declined interview requests... we're very private people.)

What happens next, you ask? Well, obviously, the Supernatural cast, writers, and show runners are going to watch this important news item and will be intrigued enough to scour the internet until they find that very fic.(And no, that wasn't a random screenshot grabbed by an intern who was told to get a visual of fanfic. Obviously a producer picked out that shot and that fic for very particular reasons.) When they read it, they'll feel compelled to read everything I've written - fic, reviews, meta, and other nonsense - and they'll say hey, this caranfindel person has some amazing insight, she knows what we're doing wrong and what we should be doing instead; we need her on our team. I'll then become a writer (head writer, perhaps, but probably not in my first year) and when that happens, you know what's coming next. That's right, guys. A season on a boat. It's coming. I can feel it. Everything is falling into place. (For me, anyway. Crowroad is a poet, and therefore will probably feel compelled to withdraw from society and move to her own personal Walden Pond. Such is the life of the tortured artist.)

(Seriously, how funny is this? First, I don't even know what LJ community that screenshot is from - I don't recognize it at all. And it shows on the screen when they're talking about FF.net and don't even mention LJ. Second, the theory that fans wrote Wincest because there were no other relationships in the first two seasons of the show? Ha ha ha ha ha no. And what did they call us? Supernatties or something like that? Please don't.)

OMG this is so so cool! (and terrifying! Are you terrified?!) I recognize the comm but can't figure out which one it is. You must remember us when you become a rich and famous head-writer...Hell, why not go for showrunner? We would so love to see you run Show! On a boat! Yesss! Many beach scenes and Winchesters in shorts and such. Please???

I'm not even gonna watch this, but you're funny, and you should be head writer, and you should write us a season on a boat. It will be amazing, I'm sure.

Oh oh! Found the comm -- it's sn_fic (says so right on the screen cap duh!) Now you can scroll through and find the day they made their little clip, because that's totally what I would do :)

Ha ha ha that's awesome! And thanks for the reminder of the Season on a Boat AU. We should all write that.

:D I love this post (not sure if I want to watch the vid though?) Aren't we spnfamily? I thought we were, I've never heard of Supernatties and never want to hear it again.

And when you're show runner or head writer, and you give us a boat season, you'll remember us won't you? You'll remember that we like Sam's hair pretty, and you'll give us tears and blood, and feely feels, and brotherly loveliness, and Eileen, and awesome mothw eps, etc etc!!!

(psst pretty sure that's the LJ comm sn_fic)

HAAHAHAA I totally saw your icon and freaked! LOL!!!!

I was also amused/repulsed by how close they got and yet were still so very, very far away LOL. Oh, E.

I love your prognosis of this. SOUNDS LEGIT TO ME. And I'm looking forward to our season on a boat!!

I'm glad, at least, that if they were going to make a ridiculous video about us (I haven't seen it and don't plan to, but I've heard the tales), that they at least pic-dropped writers I know and like!!!!

I must say, I'm seriously impressed to have a celebrity on my flist - please forgive me if I stalk the hell out of you at all hours of the day.

Once you're head writer and in charge of the season on a boat, can you please make sure that deep-sea creatures are mentioned somewhere? Also, this begs for the return of Benny, don't you think?

Hee, when you wrote this I was actually *at a pristine remote-ish lake* that was giving me haunty SPN-feels. Not Walden, but um, not that far off. LOL.

As for E (!)--when fandom and not-fandom cross streams it's *so weird*, isn't it? Thanks again, friend, for sending to me! You're gonna be as excellent a head writer as you are a fandom writer! I'm going back to my pond, heh. <3

Ha! Congratulations on your new-found "fame." May you only use your power for awesome.
