I want to *flail* hardcore right now, because I have been an absolute GONER on SPN since I randomly began watching the hubsters SPN dvd's several weeks ago, and I think my flist thinks I've gone mad! *face palms*. I so didn't think SPN was my cup of tea, but oh dear. Once I started watching I could not stop. I think I spent about a week parked infront of the telly watching every single episode of every single series. I actually resented having to go to work and do things socially, because erm...I just wanted to watch and watch. Am SO HAPPY someone else on my flist likes it too
( ... )
We're totally on the same wavelength - I also haven't loved any TV characters as much as I love the Winchesters in ages, probably since the X-Files! I don't know how many times I've re-watched the show, I just can't ever get enough of it.
I agree with you, the writing in this fandom is simply AWESOME! And I've never been a fan of RPS before, but so many of the Jsquared stories I've read were fantastic. I'm still devouring fanfic, and there's still so much left to discover. It's pure bliss.
The SPN universe is just so diverse, there's so much to explore in fiction, it's heaven for authors and readers alike. :D
LOL, if you put it like this, I realize my mistake - I should have written "AU RPS"! A lot, if not most, of the RPS written in Supernatural fandom is totally AU, and I used to dislike that before. You know, NEWS as salarymen, or KAT-TUN in a samurai setting. I never read those stories. But I love what's written about Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. There are some truly wonderful stories out there!
Hee, Asian pop and Western media RPS fandoms seem to have quite a few differences to me so I wouldn't blame you for making that distinction anyway. ;) About AUs: yes yes, same here - in part because so few of of the writers whose fic I really truly enjoy have attempted AUs. Our lovely hostess here is the rare exception. ;) The sheer size of the Supernatural/J2 fandom, from what I've gathered from my flist, is overwhelming - I'm completely not surprised that there's a bunch of awesome AUs (and non-AUs) out there!
Eee! Am completely the same. I can't even remember the last time I re-watched various episodes of a show so much. That I actually can watch it over and over again is a testament to how much I love this show.
I've always been a funny one about RPS. I swore I'd never read it, but then I discovered the J.E. fandom, and one thing lead to another. Now, am up to my neck in J2 AU fanfiction and it might just be the best thing ever ever. Cannot stop reading. That I have YEARS of material to work my way through is like Christmas! So many amazing gifts to unwrap! *face palms*
I totally agree about it being a very diverese universe, and I am so pleased that so many talented writers choose to play in it. I am no writer, but an avid reader, and the quality of fiction in this fandom is nothing short of astounding.
God, those Winchester boys. They are so broken and mad and funny
Omg, yes, yes, and yes. And the aaaaaaangst, it burns, and angst makes winterspel a super-happy camper. :D
As for fic recs, I'll take anything that floats your boat - I'm happy to try it out, and if I like it, then yay, and if not, it's fine, too. The quality of writing is more important than the genre (at least most of the time). Thank you in advance! ♥
dotintheshark already mentioned this, but here: http://community.livejournal.com/spn_j2_bigbang/ is a good place to start. There are three years worth of epic stories SPN, Sam/Dean, & J2 related, so you can just dive in, take your pick and see what you fancy.
You also may want to poke around the following livejournals. They are all incredible writers. Just...WOW. I've only read one or two stories from each of them, but based on the quality of their writing I suspect that everything they have written in this fandom is stellar, and I intend to read ALL of their work when I have time. Seriously, the quality of the writing in this fandom is truly astounding.

Hee, I know what you were getting at with this, but I couldn't help thinking of JE and giggling all the same... ;)

fleshflutterI have one video link. God, I have absolutely no idea how I found this, and I have no idea who to credit - am rubbish. You know when you discover a new fandom and you click on various links and stuff....well. That was me, and how I found this vid. Am not much of a fan vid sort of girl, but this is so completely wonderful and ( ... )
