Kripke's anecdotal five year plan

Hi, does this mean there's word going around that Kripke has a five year plan?

I don't know how to feel about it, really. On the one hand, it's sort of nice to know that we may have that much influence over the characters. On the other hand... as a writer myself (not a published one; just a passionate one :)), my characters may be organic in their own right, but I would never bend or adjust them according to which way the wind blew, so to speak. If the readers didn't care for a decision one of my characters made or felt he or she should be softer/harder/happier/sadder, I wouldn't turn that character around. If one of them was not the type to break down nearly unprovoked (Dean, Shadow) or if another had an enormous amount to answer for (John), I wouldn't force them into that position or have ( ... )
