You All Knew I'd Give In Eventually.

TODAY, I WATCHED MY FIRST EPISODE OF SUPERNATURAL ON A WHIM. It was not the first episode of Supernatural - it was the twelfth, I believe, called 'Faith' and dealing with FAITH HEALING OF EVIL - but it was my first, and I found myself liking it almost immediately because it turns out that sibling relationships as a focal point of a series are basically my favourite thing ever. I had not realised how much I love siblings in fiction! (This, er, isn't anything to do with incest. I'm not really an incest fan (although, as far as I can tell, every single Supernatural-watcher on my friendslist 'ships Sam/Dean, so perhaps further watching will sway me); I just really love close sibling relationships.) Also, Dean made an 'I MY CAR' comment fairly early on, and the Top Gear fandom has made me adore 'I MY CAR' comments for all the wrong reasons. And it made a blatant attempt to toy with my emotions and actually succeeded, which was terribly impressive when I'd known the characters for less than an hour.

I shall probably be watching more!

I was, however, enormously distressed to find out that Dean Winchester, contrary to what I was led to believe by my inexplicable WHY IS DEAN WINCHESTER TRYING TO KILL ME IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS, I DON'T EVEN WATCH SUPERNATURAL dream some months ago, does not actually go by the pseudonym 'June Carter'. SAM EVEN GAVE A FALSE SURNAME AT ONE POINT. IT WAS NOT 'CARTER'. I WAS DEVASTATED.

June and Eric Carter, Supernatural writers. They are the perfect false names and you know it.

Supernatural is the fandom of love!!! It crosses with everything!!! Most of these are brain-children at the moment and not written but I wish to join you in the land of insane crossovers. I'm having mental block...

I have come back for more after reading the comments because I am a massive geek.

This is the Fandom that Broke Me (in most ways)... although I'd read a lot of the slash before I'd seen the show... so I got into the show through the slash. It also made me read RPS.. which I've always thought was weird, but Jared/Jensen is awesome.

Also re: car. Dean LOVES the car... would it help you to know that he speaks to it and calls it "baby" at one point...
........
Bo Duke loves his car too...
