In which ratherastory is difficult and nit-picky

[ratherastory]

Everyone has their pet peeves, right? I have many.

The latest one to surface, and it's a recurring problem, but it's been twice in a couple of days now, and I'm officially peeved.

Vampires.

Vampires in pre-series stories.

Remember "Dead Man's Blood?" The boys and John are convinced vampires don't exist/are extinct right up until first season.

Even well-written stories get on my nerves, unless they're explicitly stated to be AU.

It's marring my enjoyment of those fics, which is really too bad. I need to learn to overlook it when they're well-written, I guess. But still. Gnarr.

Yes, that was one of the problems I had when John's journal was published, but then I remembered that just because the BOYS didn't remember tangling with a demon (when they were what, 4 and 8? 8 and 12?) doesn't mean John never did, so I handwaved that one. But your icon is appropriate sometimes, lol.

I think this belongs to you. *pokepoke* ^.^

LOL

I am swamped. Once I get my Novakfest written (before pyrebi kills me for not finishing her prompt) I will see if plot bunnies come a-bitin'.

I am perfectly willing to believe that John tangled with a demon at least once. How else would he have learned exorcisms and that they flinch at the name of God? Or at least he wouldn't have bothered to put it in his journal.

Novakfest?

Wow. That's like ... a real thing? O.o

Yup! It's a small Novak-centered fic exchange. It's over at spn_jimmynovak. Posting has already started, I think.
