it's your sandbox. it's totally your sandbox.
but fandom poured some sand in there and then played with it for four years. it's kinda grody now. certain admirable souls add fresh sand every now and then but I'm pretty sure some raccoons and neighborhood cats have been pooping in there for years. you could get worms. they could migrate into your eye. trust me on this, I'm a professional.
get out of the sandbox. srsly. you have like. construction equipment and shit over there. you actually do this for a *living*. so if you've gotten the teen!Dean and we're-AU-nope--just-kidding-it's-amnesia tropes out of your system, let's just pretend that never happened.
I'll forgive you, as long as you promise never to do genderswap or hooker!ep or...I don't know, god help us, a crossover where Alec is Dean's lovechild / clone and Manticore is the brainchild of Azazel.
plz to be writing our show, not our fanfic. it's beneath you (and yet, ironically, there are others that have done what you did better)
...no, it doesn't make me cranky at all when they do that. why do you ask?

Date: 2009-03-30 12:58 am (UTC)it's super hard to remember that these interruptions are totally status quo for tv seasons. it's SO frustrating in the moment. but then - guarantee you - we'll go back and rewatch and it won't seem like these digressions are so huge. it's weird like that. but yeah, right now? ARGH
mel - it's interesting what we presuppose about fanfic vs. canon, huh? because i'm with you, they should knock it off, but WHY are they doing it, you know?
like. is it to piss us off? include us? or because they ARE us? O_O

yeah, and I know we totally had this convo before. they're probably trying to wink at us but it just makes me cranky. *pouts resolutely* they touched my teen!Dean, kar. they touched him in the bad place. (*snickers*)
