Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go, I wanna be sedated...

[caranfindel]

Hey, look, I'm doing that weekly post thingie again. What's happening this week?

I signed up for the spn_j2_bigbang earlier today and now I'm kind of regretting it because my story's going to be pretty close to the minimum count, and most of the other stories are RPF and/or very slashy and mine is just Supernatural and gen so no artist is going to be interested. Oh well. I can always illustrate my own fic. Plastic Winchester Theater, anyone?

Get in the car, Cas. We're gonna go get Sam out of Hell.

Speaking of plastic Winchesters, I added to my collection. I picked up a couple of the Funko Mystery Minis, where you can't see what you're buying. I ended up with Cas and Abaddon, which is awesome, but I'm afraid I'll have to keeping buying the damn things until I get Gabriel. Why Gabriel? I have no idea. I just wants him, my precious.

This was supposed to look like they're fighting but it looks more like they're fending off the paparazzi.

And in a little more than 24 hours I'll be watching a new Supernatural again. So, I've got that going for me. And I'm only lightly spoiled so far. Can I stay that way? It would be nice if I could just go to sleep and wake up at showtime tomorrow!

See you on the other side!

Gen is GOOD. And artists will be there. (Although I love your minis and wish we could indeed get plastic Winchester theatre too.) I'm so glad you've signed up, it'll be fun :)

I have written RPF in the past but I don't think I will, again. That part of fandom sometimes seems like a different fandom, or at least a clearly defined subset with its own rules and interests. Mostly what it comes down to is that we are clueless, you and me and kalliel, and AO3 and RPF and other stuff befuddles us. XD

Very excited for the new episode and not spoiled at all.

And now I'm wondering what the rules are for RPF. SPN slash can apparently include anything - brother incest, father incest, underage, non-con, combinations of all of the above... What is forbidden in RPF?

[indiachick.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Not forbidden, but what is usually warned for is non-AU RPF (as in J2, as they are, in real life, with families and making Supernatural), infidelity kink, and there is usually a large amount of AUs involving all of those things applicable to SPN slash that you mentioned + things that are generally triggery for some people like priest AUs, age-difference with one player most usually underage, and religious kinks. But it's kinda-sorta the thing that you associate with Lolita being "erotic": it isn't going to be okay at ALL in REAL LIFE, and nobody's saying it is, but in fic it flies, and under good writing it flourishes. (And there are a lot of good writers doing RPF in LJ.)

And I don't know how, but even in AU RPF there are quite often commenters saying the characters are "in character", so there is something I'm missing there.

"This character, who is actually a real person, is doing things I think he'd do, other than having sex with his costar, which is something I simply wish he'd do..." Yeah, weird. :)
