Supernatural Rec and Question

[krisomniac]

First, are you reading Lessons Learned by lyra_wing? If not, get your bum over there and get on it, people!

This is a tight and highly addictive WIP that she's updating every day, for those of you who can't take the suspense *coughisitSeptemberyet?*

It's set six years in the future, the story of two boys who need the brothers' help. She brings back some of my favorite characters from season one and explores the impact that Sam and Dean might have had on their lives. It's a set-up for a giant angst-a-thon but instead, Sam and Dean are genuinely happy, and that? That is how I like my Winchesters. It's an engaging story--I have no idea where, exactly, the plot is going to take us, funny, tight dialogue, and enough slashy goodness to satisfy anyone's lusts.

"Think of it more like those old kung-fu dudes in the movies," says Dean.

Sam laughs a little. "You just need the long white beard. And subtitles."

"Come on. It's just like that. These young students seeking a wise master to teach them the secret ways to kick ass."

Really? This story has it all. Go. Read it. Now.

Second, a little bird said that there are spoilers floating around. That little bird is going to eat them, before I can read any. But seriously, I get the feeling that in my cushy little corner of fandom, most people are trying to remain spoiler-free.

No spoilers for me! I'm collecting various weapons of mass destruction to launch at anyone who dares post spoilers in my line of sight. ;) It's only two more months ... sigh ... I can wait that long!

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

YaY!! You're in the club! You can be our weapons expert.

Spoilers bad. Unvarnished suspense -- along with buttery, salty popcorn -- during the season premiere is love. That's all I have to say about that.

And thanks for the tip about lyra's fic. I have it bookmarked, but have yet to get started. Now I'm even more excited. :D

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I HIGHLY recommend.

And as for our spoiler-free club, I hereby dub you Maker of the Buttery Popcorn. It's a very important position.

[medicinal-mirth.livejournal.com]

Woo! I accept the position. *g*

Supernatural is one of the few things I actually think is a little bit ruined by spoilers. I read spoilers for huge numbers of the first season episodes, and the suspect and surprises just aren't the same if you know what's going to happen. After all, the boys are going to survive, so the important stuff we already know. *g*

Also, the reactions to the spoilers are... funny. Just thinking back to the way people reacted to last season's episodes -- everyone was utterly convinced that "Faith" (for example -- that's the one I remember best) would be the worst thing ever. The spoiler reactions are almost always so far off from the episode reactions, it's not really worth the trouble of worrying. :)

[ignipes.livejournal.com]

And by "suspect" I mean "suspense." Obviously.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

I heartily agree. Some movies/books (remember me starting ASoIaF?) I won't even take without spoilers. But this? I don't want em. Not me.

And in our spoiler free club, you are officially Suspect Number One.

*pouts*
I know nothing about Supernatural. I just read here and there some posts from my flist, but actually I don't even know what the plot is about. *pouts again*

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

You DONT?!?!

Oh, honey. We have to remedy that. Like now. Click here (http://krislaughs.com/Supernatural). Download whatever you want. Enjoy the pretty boys and guns.

[remeciel.livejournal.com]

Boys and guns, huh? *gggg* I will. Thanks for the link, dear. :))

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Radio buttons, bah! They should be salted and burned by Winchesters.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

HEhehee. I'd like to see a crackfic about that.

In our club, you are the one and only Dealer of Crack. :)

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Hey. A girl's gotta find some way to finance her Dolce and Gabbana habit. ;p

[lyra-wing.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you for the pimpage!! You're a darling! :D

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Anytime! I'm highly enjoying it and saving the best for last, or at least for when I'm fully rested.

[mariana-oconnor.livejournal.com]

I have heard that there are, but I am going to be unspoilerified for as long as I can be, and so far I've been quite good with SpN. It helps that this is a fandom where people are very good at putting spoiler warnings onto stories.

My problem is I have a couple of friends with no will power, and I never like knowing less than them *esp since I'm the one that introduced them to the fandom - grrr) but I will stay strong... even if going to university without a TV next year means I'm probably not going to see season 2 until I buy the DVDs *mope*.

But no - no spoilers for me.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Oh, I totally get that. I am so tempted to go searching for spoilers on nights like this one, when there's nothing much going on. But I really do think that SPN is one of those programs that's better when you don't know what's going to happen.

And not have a TV at university? Oh, never you fear; there are other ways to get your weekly fix of prettyboy. (TV tuner in your computer, public lounges always have a set, and that's what friends with TVs are for.) I'm completely confident you'll find a way.
