URGH.

I'm horribly tempted to write a story showing just how bad Supernatural's in-canon treatment of fandom COULD have been, all things, con behavior, letter-writing campaigns, online wanking, and whatnot considered.

Instead I think I'm going to take a nap in my computer chair while watching the "Riding With Death" episode of MST3K again.

I can't believe people are still wanking about that. Well, I can, but sheesh... I thought they were shockingly gentle and good-spirited with it.

Rock it, you turkey!

Hell I've said this a few times, but the basic fact is that storywise, Chuck had to use a fan who was somewhat insane over the top.

I mean, what other kind of fan would actually believe him, if he told them that the books were real?

And like you say, they could have made her a lot worse. If Becky was an example of a crazy fan that Chuck could think of, then well... they let us off easy.

seriously i could only wish I was as awesome as Becky!

I almost want to say something that their best treatment of a female character so far was a fan... ;)

And "d.) Been put with another female character (Meg, Jo, Ellen, Anna) in the room specifically so she could spit on them, slap them, shoot them, whatever."

Don't worry, we'll probably see that NEXT week.

I can't understand why people have such a raging hate-on. Yes, I know, "O.M.G. FOURTH WALL!!!" but, dude, this is the genre. Geeks acknowledge their own kind. In Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, some of the fans would get their IRC names on the ticker in the bullpen, and fen on comic messageboards get mentioned in-panel a lot more than people realize.

Besides, SERIOUSLY. If I found out Sam and Dean were real and I got to go meet them? I would SO not be anywhere near as coherent as Becky. And probably would not be able to stop touching Sam either.

One thing I love more than PIE? Is that while Becky write RIDICULOUSLY is that Chuck does too. It's not just the fic writers, it's the pro writers that use SOULFUL GAZES.

...Huh. My big comment, let me show you it. Also, now I think I need a Becky icon.

Yeah, I love the way Kripke & co. has embraced the fandom and let it feed the show. It's perfect, and appropriately meta, and undeniably hilarious.

I just don't get the fandom, really. I thought she was hilarious, and remarkably sane compared to some. Thought it was quite cool of Kripke to put her in there.

I just want to know how much of her story Kripke had to write, or if he pawned off the Wincest on Sera.
