Fake girlfriends/boyfriends is an inherently great cliche in my book. And DB had Dean/Jaimie for Ice and Carter/Jaimie for Betsy and the whole shipping drugs in flowers deal, so I think having Alex/Jaimie, Dean/Carter, or Dean/Ty would have been really awesome. (Despite having written them having sex in TDBLAN, I've never really wanted to see fake Ty/Carter.)

If it's a recurrent dream and he writes it down right away, I think he could conceivably remember at least some details. And yeah, literary device. Also, on the intense emotions thing, these are relatively young guys, who've been through a lot together and have a pretty deep underlying emotional bond. I gave you the kind of review I generally try to provide, where I mention things I specifically liked (and the one issue I did have).

My issue with the anon review thing is kind of the flip side--somebody left a very nice review on Benefits that made me want to discuss Dean/Ty with them, and like you, I can't contact them because they were anonymous. So I left them a shout-out with my fannish email on the ff.net version of Masquerade because I figured it was my best bet.

I love crack. Please, this is me who wrote Dean with temporary girlparts and made him into a part-time kitty.

Speaking of crack, did I tell you about wanting to write Dean/Dean Winchester wingporn? The theory at the moment is DeanB wakes up with wings, gets drunk, calls Carter, who calls the Winchesters because it's Carter and he magically knows everything including that they deal with freaky stuff, who call Bobby and his demon (I find Crowley/Bobby amusing, although I really want more Dean/Crowley) and Sam's angel(s) (because in my head he's dating Castiel at least and maybe a resurrected Gabriel too).

And the magic solution is sex with the wings out with someone who can touch them. And their mutual instant hard-ons when the two Deans try nominates DeanW for the honors. (And since I'd kind of like deansquared with an actual relationship it's only a temporary cure, so DeanW starts swinging through LA every couple of months. I see Sam teasing his big brother about six to eight months in when Dean turns down a Christina Hendricks lookalike waitress that he must be missing his boyfriend).

I'll have to check that out, so thanks for the link.

I'd read Nick/Sara but I never really saw it. And I can see how someone could take the Greg&Sara dynamic and turn it into comfort fic.

To each their own--Warrick's whole emotional mess (including marrying Tina) after Grave Danger could be seen as he realizes he doesn't just care about/love Nick as his best friend when he's faced with watching Nick die, and there's some other moments of arguable subtextyness that I can't remember because I haven't really watched any flavor of CSI in forever. And probably part of the reason I see them as Nick/Warrick is that whole weakness of mine for best friends taking it to the romantic level.

Apparently those people don't believe it's possible to notice someone's looks and appreciate their personality without wanting to drag them off to bed. Which makes me wonder about their relationships.

The muses quieting down a little and letting you concentrate on what they're saying instead of it being a din of overlapping noise sounds like it might be helpful. I'll look forward to when your fic is at least at read-through status.

Exactly! I have no problem with anon reviews that are thoughtful/complimentary/small quibbles. Those I can understand. When the review is all "this is wrong and this is wrong and this is wrong but it's a good story!" I just... I want to strangle them. Because that's really back-handed. It's like telling someone "you're really fast for being fat" or "you're really smart for a country kid." It's insulting, and not trying to help the writer at all.

LOL. Yeah, I should have figured. And you did mention wanting Dean/Dean Winchester, but I don't recall the wing bit.

Oh, and you'll probably have to copy it, because the link cut itself apart, so it won't go to the right place.

I saw where they got it from, but I didn't see it myself. Definitely!

I mean, I can see where you would see that, but I just can't see them as more than occasional fuck-buddies. But Nick and Greg, I totally see that.

Apparently, they don't have very healthy relationships. Because how can you think every relationship a person has has to be about sex?

:D I shall let you know when I'm ready to post.

Personally, I tend not to comment at all on stories that I don't find at least good. (Although hottie555's Dean/Carter on ff.net I commented on the first few chapters that "the concepts are good but your editing is abysmal" because it was. And did not get any better. And the second to latest chapter has Carter paddling Dean because he hasn't eaten in five days, so yeah, I really wouldn't advise reading it.)

If you ever checked out my memories list, I've actually got amusement and crack tags. (Fair warning if you do, I've got a lot of memmed RPS and no, I don't actually believe it, although I still think Jensen and Jared have a) read Jsquared considering IIRC at least one of them's admitted to reading Wincest and b) have at points deliberately made it easy to slash them). So me writing rather crackily themed stories isn't terribly surprising.

What made the wingporn idea pop up was "hey I'm kind of running DeanB through the fannish cliches lately, why not wingporn?" (Although I promise to never write Dean pregnant.)

And ever since writing DeanB hitting on DeanW so he knows whether he can deal with the guy thing before he pounces Carter, I've kind of wanted DeanB/DeanW where there's an actual relationship between them. Mostly for the hot factor--I'm shallow like that. But I think they could actually understand at least some of each other's lives (the whole "can't really talk to normal people about what we do" thing), and they could definitely bond over guns. So it kind of seemed to be a natural progression to have the wingporn be deansquared.

I was planning on copying it, because I saw it wasn't all blue and underlined.

Hey, I've read and liked plenty of Nick/Greg, so I fully understand seeing that. And I can see Nick and Warrick doing the "help a friend out" kind of sex, I just like it better when their feelings towards each other are closer to romantic.

I definitely agree on the unhealthy relationships thing.

I appreciate knowing you'll give me a heads-up, so thanks very much.
