Jensen and Jared? Yay or nay?

And before you say, "WTF?  Is she asking us to diss our boys?" -- here's the scoop!

When auntmo9 and I were chatting, back in February, about what to include or not include at the comm, the question of RL-related material came up.  We decided to focus the comm on the show and its fictional characters, and steer clear of actor-related pictures and

I said yes, because we're gonna have a new gag reel in couple of weeks and those are Jared and Jensen and it will be funny, there's no doubt about that. So I think it fits the com perfectly

[ficwriter1966]

The gag reels have always been fine, since they're filmed on-set and the actors are in costume. So, no problem there! You're free to post screencaps or artwork from any of the gag reels.

I for one am VERY uncomfortable with RPF and will have to shout a resounding NO to that. I'm not judging those who enjoy it, but I have to put myself in the actors' shoes and if I were them, I'd hate it!

I don't mind seeing the odd photo of J & J at a con or a happy birthday type of thing. But (and I may be in the minority here) I really don't want to know much at all about their personal lives. It takes the mystery of the characters away for me. I don't want to see behind the curtain, so to speak. I don't even like spoilers for the show.

I voted 'depends' but in a way I think I should have voted 'no' because the scope of what I want to see/know is so limited that it would probably be unenforceable.

Sorry for the ramble.

exactly my thoughts too!

[yasminke]

I agree with this post.

I'm with lolaann1 on this one. There are other good communities out there that deal with the "real" side of life of J&J, and I think I would prefer this Comm to stick mostly with what we currently have going. I wouldn't mind an occasional pic or two of the Js at Conventions or what not, but I think it would continue to make this Comm different from the others if this were to stay strictly more about the show.

[lolaann1]

Yes! you said it better than I did. It needs to stay strictly more about the show. So, on-set pictures and con pictures and anything like that is fine, but their personal lives should remain off limits IMHO.

[metallidean_grl]

Totally agree. Personal lives should not be included, we have other Communities that deal with that. Let's keep this one strictly about the show. Because I know there are people out there that would prefer not to see or read about their personal lives, so let's do that here.

[angeltrap]

This! I'm with you and lolaann1: I wouldn't mind pictures or reports of them at conventions or on the set or otherwise doing SPN-related stuff, or celebrating one of their birthdays with a fic/art challenge, but I'd leave their personal lives and preferably fanfiction about them out. I've been pretty happy with how things have been this far. :)

[impala1967]

I say no please, there are other sites that do RL. Lets keep this about the show. :)

[twisted_slinky]

Personally, I love that the comm focuses on the show and not real people :D

Then again, I've never been a fan of RPF--I'm with Lolaann1 on that...I understand how other fans would enjoy it, but, for me, it just feels...I guess the word I'm looking for is 'invasive'.

[metallidean_grl]

I am not a fan of RFP either. So, yea, don't want that to be included or a part of this Community. And agree, invasive is a good word for it, IMO.
