DEAR SPOILERPHOBIC SUPERNATURAL FANS: DO NOT READ THE LATEST [livejournal.com profile] fandomsecrets POST. THERE IS A SPOILER IN IT FOR THE SERIES THREE FINALE.

*cries*

I should really have known better, shouldn't I? Sigh. I've removed the temptation from my flist, but, alas, too late.

I feel I should probably add something to this post to make it more than just a warning to my fellow fans. Here is a tiny snippet of something that may or may not be continued. It is about Jared and Jensen, making it my first attempt at actorfic, and it is a crossover with Supernatural, because I love it when the real world crosses over with the fictional one.



Okay, so Jared's possessed by his character.

That's what Jared insists, at least. Jensen's pretty sure it's got to be something more along the lines of 'okay, so Jared's playing a really stupid prank' or 'okay, so Jared's in need of some serious antipsychotics', but whatever way you look at it they've got a problem.

"Seriously," Jared says, looking and sounding like he doesn't know whether to be terrified or thrilled, "I thought I was Sam. And I thought you were Dean, and when you said you were Jensen I was like, who the fuck's that? Where's my brother?" He grins, apparently having settled on the decision that this is more 'awesome' than it is 'insane and horrifying'. "De—Jensen, do you know what this means? Sam could be real!"

"Jared," Jensen says, eyeing him cautiously, "I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean Sam's real. I think it means you're crazy."



The problem with writing for actors is that it's so difficult to arrive at a clear idea of how to characterise them. How do you manage it, if you write actor RPF? Do you base your characterisation largely on interviews? Are you heavily influenced by the writing of others? Do you find aspects of the characters they play creeping in, even if they're not being possessed by them?
