It's possible some Supernatural communities might have been affected too -- I wouldn't say that Supernatural fandom is all about incest, but it's probably 90% -- but since the Winchester boys are of age, I tend to think not.

Not all of the fandom is about incest of course, but so many people are, they have a special name: Wincest. In fact, the writers of the show are aware of this, and in one episode, Dean was on the computer looking at a forum. He told Sam about the group of people who slashed them, and both brothers were like, "EW. NO. WTF???" It was a funny moment. I'm not involved in SPN fandom, though, so I don't know more than that.

Similarly, Fred/George incest fics are called "twincest."

And yeah, I may be exaggerating the pervasiveness of Dean/Sam slashers among SPN fandom ... but I wouldn't necessarily want to put too much money on it. :-)
