I am beguiled by this fan's decision. I understand her love for Show, her desire to show the gang at SPN how MUCH they've influenced us, etc, but shoving fanfic in their faces is not a good idea.
Here's the link:

ONE person recced something. She has four pages worth of comments from authors NOT wanting to be included.
And dude, I got a special journal simply so I could write and comment on fic. I WORK in the industry. The last thing I need is for coworkers to discover exactly how much I love characters.
What I don't understand is why people think it's okay to do creepy things, if it's done by a large quantity of people? I've had someone make a website full of pictures of me. That's creepy. If that person turned it into an album and combined it with OTHER people's pictures of me... it wouldn't be any less creepy.
And for the record it's REALLY damn creepy when you find an physical album full of pictures of you. I've had two different guys "accidently" show me their albums of me. Another guy just admitted he had a wall of photos. Dude, it's CREEPY. And I'm not even working in tv or film right now! That's just from doing regional theatre! *shudder* I feel a lot of sympathy for actors who are viewed nationally. Psychos tend to flock to actors. I've experienced how horrible it is on a small scale. I have no desire to experience it on a national scale.
Dammit... now I feel guilty for reading RPS again... Why must GOOD writers write RPS? I don't want to read it. It makes me feel like a creepy person... but then it's just so gooood... *facepalm* I'm a bad actor. Someday justice will be served and someone will write creepy real person porn about me and some other chick.

I'm pretty sure this chick has a mad crush on the J's, as do we all, which is fine, we're SUPPOSED to think they're hot and have crushes and that's what makes the money roll in when we buy calendars and amulets and pictures by the score. What she's thinking, I think, is that this is what's going to make them notice her. It won't. She'll get noticed by lawyers first, and then get US noticed by lawyers and then the party will be OVAH.
I love the characters too! I tell no one at work. EVAH. : D

I have two huge fears when it comes to acting. The first is I won't get enough jobs to feed myself. The second is, I'll end up famous. Crazy people like famous people too much. I don't want that. I just want to tell stories.
