Wow. And random other things.

HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS!

Why did no one tell me how awesome Delicious is? It has tags and a place for notes, and the Firefox add-on lets me have it ALL in a convenient sidebar and it's like an organizational orgasm!

*cough*

Uh.

I'm calm now.

I foresee spending a LOT of time on this website. WHEE!


In other news, because I've been trying to think long and hard about my BigBang fic, my brain has come up with at least two ideas for crossover fics. Because, as you know, BigBang doesn't include crossovers. My brain is perverse.

The first is Supernatural/Lie To Me: I want Cal Lightman and Dean Winchester facing off across a table in a glass room. The master liar versus the master lie detector. It would be EPIC. I have no idea what the plot would be, but I really want to write this.

The second is my first fanfic love, Dresden Files/Supernatural: Can you imagine a soul gaze between Harry Dresden and Dean? How Dean would react to Harry's car? (It's a Volkswagen Beetle, for those of you who don't know the series) What Harry would think of Sam?

I even have a sort-of plot burgeoning at the back of my head for this. God save me.

Oh, and of COURSE a short story from Missouri's POV inserted itself in there too.

GOD.

Dear Supernatural,

I love you, I really do. STOP MAKING ME THINK OF NEW FIC TO WRITE. I HAVE NO TIME.

Love,

Me


Speaking of which, can anyone out there tell me what sort of music Sam Winchester listens to? I didn't recognize the one song that played briefly in "Lazarus Rising," and all of the show is dominated by Dean's musical taste, not Sam's. The only thing I know is that, according to Dean, Sam listens to crappy emo music, which tells me nada.

I really ought to write that meta about how Show doesn't actually know anything about Sam Winchester the human being, and only ever shows us Sam The Convenient Plot Deviceā„¢.

(Yes, I want to build a playlist. Yes, I'm very OCD, I know. My OCD is harmless, though, and doesn't interfere with my life in any way. It just makes me twitchy when things aren't a certain way.)

That's so funny, 'cos Castiel was what got me started watching the show in the first place. Like, my friend made an offhand comment about Dean and Castiel's relationship and my interest was piqued because, hmm, it sounds like the kind of relationship that would hit my story buttons. Based purely on hearsay he was my favorite character before he even showed up onscreen.

I'm still not entirely sure what his canon motives are sometimes, and how much he was on-board with bringing about the apocalypse. Like, in 4x20, did Castiel know all along about the angels' end game and only FINALLY decided to tell Dean about it after much moral wrestling, or did he just recently find out? And when are the Winchesters gonna find out that it was him who let Sam out of the panic room? Castiel, what a conundrum.

I loved the concept of the character, and I thought he was brilliantly executed.

Most. Badass. Entrance. EVER.


But I didn't like Castiel until he stopped being a douchebag to Sam. He grew on me slowly, basically.

Castiel is #1 for most amazing entrances on the show. This is but truth.

I think I was won over simply by the number of ridiculously cool entrances.
