Pondering Castiel...

[ash48]

Castiel is complex. I had no idea. I admit to never really connecting to him as a character. I've tried to but I've always got the feeling that they've just tried to fit him in somehow. Work him in because he's a fan favourite. Find reasons for him to be around. Most of the time, when he's on the screen, I kinda glaze over (*ack! don't hate me

If this is your ao3 vid I'm glad you've got input. But in a way I'm glad all I've got is "No Doctor Who and no Joss Whedon". I think that's all the more restraint I'm going to let them have.

It's funny cause right now I've got ONE Doctor Who vid (going back to Four) and ONE Joss Whedon vid (finaly getting around to doinga Buffy mash-up) under construction and I'll have to put them aside to start on the ao3 one.

Yes it is! :) I think I like that I have definite guidelines. It's making me work much harder than I think I would have done. Usually if something isn't working out, or it becomes too hard I ditch it. With this I can't, so I really hard to work it. It's been a new and interesting process.

Good luck with yours. I have you picked what you are going to do yet?

When I was doing artwork for the SCA it was "gifted" to the recipient. Occasionally either the recipient or some of their friends would want to give me input. I would take a bit of their advice but if it got to the point that there wanted to tell me the exact style or wording I would put it this way:

If I do what I want, it's free. If I do what you want then my fee is $25 an hour with a minimum of $500. There's also a charge for any extra materials that I'll need for the job. So which way do you want to play it.

This generally allowed me to have absolute control over my artwork. I generally work better when I have that type of control over things...

Yeah, I guess I'm going to be difficult and suggest Jimmy is still there. *ducks tomatoes* :P

I don't know, I guess I always felt he was along for the ride. But show has been contradictory. We see demons leave bodies that sustain too much damage and then the people die. So if Cas is totally destroyed....but then Dean's come back soul and all. Then there is the animate dead bodies aspect....but it isn't really dead bodies. Ruby had to take a coma patient. She said the spirit left, but the body itself wasn't dead exactly. So...umm....yeah. *shrug* Whatever that means. Just had to add in another kink to the weaving tapestry of show mythology. *lol*

Oh yes! This one seems like a can of worms. I think show can basically do what it likes when it comes to this stuff. Though it would be nice to have some set guidelines. One rule for all
