Seriously, this is AMAZING. (Also, time-consuming... :-) Especially considering I also clicked on and got caught up in the whole charlottelennox thing - heh.)

The little details are so good - chuck_writes to c_w to CW, "Books with Snark," all of it. I really appreciate the time it took you to do this - thanks for sharing!!

Thanks! Yeah, dude, charlottelennox can really eat your life. So can reading F_W.

chuck_writes to c_w to CW

I didn't actually realize chuck_writes shortened to CW until I got tired of coding for the lj user name. Then I realized and kinda went HOLY SHIT.

The canon was in the house the whole time!

This is truly fantastic (and kind of believable, lol). You captured fandom magnificently and the entire thing is so detailed - I am really impressed. Wonderful, thank you for sharing!

This might actually be pure genius. Nah, fuck the waffly modifying words - it IS. No wonder this took over your brain! It sure as hell took over mine while reading it; could not stop, sucked right in. Much like reading FW reports, actually... except it was also all plot-by-wank, and poor Chuck, and then when the "gospel" started coming through even after Chuck had vanished? So awesome. Such a neat and clever thing to do. And, dammit, the familiar frame made it feel so realBecause I have different filters, I saw this recc'd on the SPN filter before I clicked over to the "individuals I follow" one, and had it pegged as "oooh, this looks fascinating" and then scrolled through my Regular Folks and went OHMYGOD IT IS THE FICALYPSE OF EARLIER HINTS and had to read it right that second. Except then my internet crapped out and there was a wailing and gnashing of teeth, so it has been waiting a whole damned day for me to get home and love it. Feeling a little Becky-ish right now :). (That paragraph is probably worth a "cool story, bro". Sorry ( ... )

Replying to me so as not to hijack your conversation above - re the SPN fandom itself, I am kinda feeling something similar. It is SO HUGE for a n00b. I've been watching the show for five years or so, swept right into it from the start, but it's actually only been since S6 finished that I started actively seeking out the fandom side of things. It had always been a teensy part of my flist with the occasional person posting something awesome, and I'd always liked Wincest (A LOT), but, wow, I've kind of fallen head over heels into it ( ... )

finding consistently awesome writers (and trailing after them like a hopeful puppy), and occasionally getting sidetracked by 300k of slightly badfic-ish stuff with aspects I can't resist, sure, it's a problem...

Hahahah boy howdy do I know that feeling.

my god, where do you START in this fandom? And that's just for consuming, let alone posting/making.I used to always start by making, because way back when I didn't know fandom existed, and had to satisfy myself somehow. But now I've been in fandom so long, I know I can just get instant gratification if I Google: "Canon + desired ship + recs", so more and more I read first. But SPN is interesting because I've done a lot more "making" right off the bat than usual. Part of it is I don't even know how to search for the things I want, and part of it is that the searches I've done haven't turned up the stuff I want ( ... )

That paragraph is probably worth a "cool story, bro". Sorry about that)

No, actually. That paragraph captured the tone of the fic: what is this weird, weird obsessive compulsion we have to do this stuff? To tell the stories and make the art and read them and look at them and get so invested? I don't know what it is. I just know that sometimes I'm afraid of it and sometimes I feel guilty about it and sometimes it makes me look at the world in ways I never have before, and then I'm so, so glad. So there's my cool story, bro.

the "gospel" started coming through even after Chuck had vanished?

my_daroga is owed credit for that idea. I was just going to have a new prophet be "chosen" by God, but she said, "what if it turned out everyone was a filtered, hazy, sort of prophet? Since you keep talking about the uber!SPN." And it went from there.

So. I read this last night, and afterward, my head was all "WHOA". I have been telling people about this story all day, people who don't even watch Supernatural. This story is the most awesome kind of epic.

Basically the following goes round and round in my head: It's a fanfic about meta and fandom about meta in fandom about...I don't even know. (More or less. There have been several different versions of this all day.)

I am so in love with how you've crafted this (because, wow, it must have been kind of confusing and fourth wall breaky, yeah?) amazing universe within an universe kind of thing. Also amazing? You've created a brillaint story using only two side character's voices (awesome side characters that should be in fic more often, but I digress). How great is that? Answer: fabulous!

Anyway, I don't really comment on fanfic much so I am so sorry if this comment is crazy and makes no sense. I just wanted to let you know that I think that this and you are both brilliant beyond measure. Thank you for sharing. ♥

Thanks!

it must have been kind of confusing and fourth wall breaky, yeah?

OMG, so much yes. My head was doing that same thing you head was doing, with the round and round, and it kind of hurt after a while!

You've created a brillaint story using only two side character's voices

Hey, I didn't even really think about that. Cool. To me Chuck and Becky became just so instantly integral to what the show was about, that I didn't think of it that way, but now I feel kinda proud.

I am so sorry if this comment is crazy and makes no sense.

This comment is crazy awesome and makes the best kind of sense! Thanks!
