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.

See now that brings up a question from my side: before finding out that it was the YED that killed their mother, what did the boys think it was? Did they know abouy the yellow eyes, at least? For the life of me, I can't remember, and I don't feel like revisiting season 1.

I'm a canon-beast. I avoid pre-series fics like the plague.

They don't say anything about it, actually. It's always the "thing that killed Mom."

I am picky about my pre-series fic, but there's a lot of really well-written ones out there.
