oh dear god

I'm in trouble. According to [livejournal.com profile] mellacita's scale, I'm doomed: I've just slid from step 3 to step 4.

And then I took this test. And yeah.



How can this be? Neither of them are even slightly my type, I don't like scary/suspenseful movies/shows or anything that makes it hard for me to sleep at night... Perhaps I was just ripe for a new obsession. And I can't watch Torchwood just yet because my husband wants to watch it with me, and we need to finish Dr. Who first.

Every new fandom, I do this. I try to resist. I find myself intrigued. I dabble. I feel embarrassed. I am uncomfortable with the elements that are "not my type" or "not my thing."

And then eventually it's all a waste of angst anyway because I turn into a raving fangirl.

All right. Bring it on, Winchesters. I'm ready.

Yay, for giving in! :D You won't regret it. SPN fandom is - apart from the wank - awesome. Does that mean you're going to write SPN fanfic? *hopeful glee*

Also, Dean is my TV boyfriend, too. And my squishy. :)

Ooooooh forget SPN fanfic, what about J2?

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, at the moment anyway, it's all about the J2, not the Wincest... So far no bunnies have grown rabid enough to infect me, but I am sure it's just a matter of time...

;)

Don't worry, you'll get to the Wincest quickly enough. :D I was in the same situation a coupla months ago. Then I watched SPN season 2 and it all became clear. >:D

My definition of SPN fanfic includes FPF and RPF, I didn't think that others might make a difference there. I always forget that there are people who don't even read RPF. :)

[identity profile] loony-moony.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW! So bizarre, when in this particular fandom the RPF WRITES ITSELF. Those guys are just INSANELY gay for each other. They mighut be calling it "hetero lifemates" BUT WE KNOW BETTER, MWAH.

I'm pretty good at avoiding wank. I'm like teflon - not popular enough to be in the midst of the fire. ;)

Heeh.

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Your fault. You gave me AU J2 fics to read.

Well and [livejournal.com profile] causette.

Heck, I'll just blame all of Iceland, all right? ;)

OMG - that's who I got - I don't even know who that is :)

[identity profile] loony-moony.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well, to use your icon for analogy puposes, Dean Winchester is about as fucked up emotionally as Snape is. Only he has a brother he loves more than anything (he's going to hell for him, and not for the reasons you think ;D), and he conceals his brains in white-trash instead of black robes and a sneer. Oh yeah, and he's so hot I'm afraid my tv would burst into flames one day. :D

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, what Loony said. ;) It's a good show - check it out some time.

[identity profile] jackieville.livejournal.com 2008-01-26 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I got him too. No clue who he is *g*

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's a fun show. It's scary enough that I'm not obsessed, but funny enough that I kind of am. Like X-files or Buffy, only with two hot boys. ;)

WELCOME! *throws flowers and chocolate everywhere!* Our boys are BEAUTIFUL and our fandom is INSANE. Sometimes to unhealthy levels, but at least we're not a fandom full of tiny little kids saying "EWWWWW GAY" and our creator is fully aware he's promoting teh awesome slash on his show. >:D

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! *joins the conga line*

Thank you again for the pictures. I am glad I stopped resisting The Pretty. It's better this way. ;)

Ok, so, one question - I prefer J2. What's the one community I absolutely MUST join?

[identity profile] loony-moony.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Netflix the show. Lots more pretty coming your way! :D

Well, since most of the fandom basically likes J2 as much as Wincest, the best rec comm would be [livejournal.com profile] crack_impala, which is for both, as well as gen and other pairings. There's also [livejournal.com profile] j2_daily, which is a lovely daily dose of pretty. :D I'd also look into [livejournal.com profile] missyjack's crack posts because they are quintessential J2 fandom treasures. I also have to say that at first I went through basically all of [livejournal.com profile] lazy_daze's recs, as well as her lovely fics. :)

OMG - I am overwhelmed with choices! Thank you so much. :)

[identity profile] vamprino.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
LOL! I got him too, and I don't even watch Supernatural!

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly you should start! it is fated! :)

[identity profile] soar38.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Dean Winchester... hubba hubba. LOL

YAY!!! Welcome to the insanity!!!

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-01-28 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Luckily I have a lot of experience with insanity. ;)

[identity profile] ladykatiewench.livejournal.com 2008-01-28 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Tee!! And our insanity is so much fun!!

I saw up there that you are into J2, but have you checked out [livejournal.com profile] nilchance's stuff. Most of it is JDM/JA, but some is J3 and some is JDM/JP (don't even get me started on how much I didn't want to read that but am now COMPLETELY addicted!). Her fic list is HERE. At least try the hooker!fic and Retriever 'verse. If possible, try everything. I'm kinda pathetic in the way I keep checking to see if there are updates that I somehow missed on my flist ("Well, maybe she posted something and I hit the page-down-key twice and missed it. Or maybe she posted since the last time I refreshed. Yeah, that could be it!")

Also, [livejournal.com profile] phantisma has some great kink. Things that I never thought I'd like...it works for these boys!!

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-01-29 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'll check those out - thanks! :)
