Awww, the adventures of Action Cas! That's so cute, and I love it. <3333
And I see myself mentioned here ahaha, but I would like to say that I CAN ASSURE YOU that the piece in question is in no way any better than anything you can or will do!! AND I'D REALLY RATHER READ YOURS. Bingo squares aside, the only reason I finished mine in any sense was because it was getting so rapidly Kripke'd that if I let it linger any longer it was going to become totally irrelevant. And I mention this because as much as I want to say that regardless of how close to your fic premise canon ends up hewing, totally post it anyway and it totally doesn't matter!! (because this is true), I also very much understand that dilemma. Because even knowing that as a reader I really don't have a problem with reading speculative fiction that ends up being proved less speculative than "wow, canon, I just twinned you so hard wtf I love you but I also hate you, from a writing perspective I understand that 100%. And it's so distressing! Because canon writes a lot faster than I do, and I feel like this happens a lot, where I'm doing a thing, but then canon keeps galloping forward and gets there first. XP
Like, aside from the radical revision thing, I have another piece I'd really like to actually write (sooner rather than later, apparently, XP), and that certainly contains elements I like that the actual S10 will not contain, because if it did that would be completely fucking absurd. But at the same time, I'm like, well. Fuck it. The thematic/emotional terrain has already been walked by canon! Or soon will be! NOW I'M IRRELEVANT.
tl;dr LET US COMMISERATE. Though I'm very much looking forward to reading your fic, and its successor. And also your 10x02 drabble. <333333333333333333333333
OH OH. This comment is hideously long, but to add to the commiseration, I've totally had that fear of like "when is the other shoe going to drop here, Show." Because it's like, statistically impossible that the season will progress from 1 to 23 flawlessly. It's just not going to happen. If it hasn't happened in the last nine years, how could it happen now? And like, that's totally fine. I'm not by nature a perfection-seeker, and it's not something I've really ever held SPN to, because 23 episode is a lot of fucking television, and the timeframe during which it was created is very very slim. But I'm afraid I'll be heartbroken when that time comes, and yet I'll be anxious about it until it does.
I'm trying to calm myself down about it by being like, well, okay. I fucking loved S9 and neither 9x01 nor 9x02 were as good as 10x01 and 10x02 were (and I say that with a lot of love for those eps of S9). 9x04 is probably my least favorite episode in all of SPN and I SURVIVED, I WAS ACTUALLY REALLY OKAY WITH IT. And 9x05 wasn't great either, and I'm still fond of that one, too. And so on and so forth. It is okay, self, you'll be okay. You. will. be. okay! XP
BUT UGH THE ANXIOUSSSSSSNESSSSSSSS. I'm really nervous for 10x03, too, because it's such a pivotal episode--it really needs to be good??? I mean, worst case scenario, there's going to be shitton of excellent fic for it. But hang fanfic for a moment. I just really want that episode to be good!
