From Ask Ausiello ...

The italics are mine.

Question: As much as the female fans of Supernatural seem to hate the idea, I think that Bella and Ruby added a nice dynamic last season. Will the show's writers ever stand up to the fans and give at least one of the brothers and ongoing love interest? -- Jeff
Ausiello: Not if they value their life. And based on Eric Kripke's response to this question, I'm guessing they do. "The most dangerous job in Hollywood is to be the recurring female lead on Supernatural," Kripke laughs. "No, the formula in terms of romance that really has proven to work best for us is a girl in every port. Not that there’s not ongoing characters. But there are going to be recurring female characters threaded in and out of the story, and they will affect the storylines. But just to have them in sort of passive love interest roles is something that hasn’t really worked."

Oh, faaaaaabulous. I'm part of THAT fandom.

*headdesk*

(Not that I didn't know, but ... you know, past Kripke's lips, it sounds even worse.)

oh thank god, I'm NOT part of THAT fandom anymore.


Oh hey, Kripke? Plz to reference the following, and realize that I am making appropriate gestures in your direction, you utter, utter, ass.

I swear I'm going to end up just watching the show this season and not reading reactions or fanfic or anything. I'll be much less annoyed that way.

I mean, I know the show is bad for me, like eating Cheetos for breakfast every morning, but at least it doesn't make my blood boil.

I can't. I wish I could still watch, because my love for season one is still THERE and massive. But like, I see the issues waaaay to clearly on screen, and there's nothing to balance them out like there tends to be with Joss's shows.


I get rage blackouts way too easily these days, and that makes me sad.

I wish I could give it up, but I am still in love with it -- albeit the kind of love in which a trained professional should probably intervene -- and it's one of the few fannish things I've got where I can talk about it with someone face-to-face. It's the only show I watch I don't have to go on the internet to talk about.

I'm still going to read fanfic, but it's time to back away from this fandom. It annoys me to no end.
