The report I read was that the question was just about whether he had seen fanfiction. Jensen is the one who brought up wincest, as in 'I did see this thing called wincest, Kim Manners printed some out for us'. I can't even think of what to say about the fact that Kim printed some out.....yikes. Later on, someone said the fans want Dean and Sam to hug more (more?, well...). He answered, 'I thought we got off the wincest subject, nah, we'll hug..." There was also the mention that all the gay references in the episodes were Kripke's way of telling the guys, 'buy a clue'. I I found this in the comment section of one person's report.
So, at least the clueless fan didn't mention fanfic, but it seems to be that only us old timers are wary of mentioning any form of fanfic to the actors or producers. It was always a cardinal rule in fandom - fanfic was NOT brought to the attention of the people involved in the show. The younger people who only know fandom thru the internet don't seem to have that caution. Perhaps it is because the fanfic is now on the internet and anyone can access it ;-) In the olden days, you had to know about fandom and zines and such to be able to read it. Man, I feel old ;-) As for that idiot who jumped him - well, I am appalled at the fact that more people aren't more..well, appalled at her. Frankly, no matter what Jensen says in public or the fact that he met with her afterwards and accepted her apology, I would bet my life's savings that in private and to his friends, he is saying much different things. I've seen it happen with other actors, but in their cases, they came out looking bad. For example, when Chris Potter was on KF-The Legend Continues, he was overheard at a con talking to a friend and the gist of what he said was something like, 'why are all my fans fat and ugly'. Not a good move there, Chris ;-) But in this case, I wouldn't blame Jensen at all if to his friends he was saying things, 'man, that chick was crazy' or some such stuff. He would be totally right in that assessment. And I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for physically attacking someone, no matter how much you love them as an actor ;-) I really felt awful when I heard this because I know that it will most likely seriously curtail Jensen's attendance at cons or any fan type gathering. We knew from other first hand reports that he is rather tentative anyway when it comes to big groups of just screaming fans; now he has to fear being jumped. Not a good thing at all, period. Me thinks he needed the Sasquatch there to protect him, although with Jared's track record, he probably would have broken something in defense of Jensen's body ;-) I loved how in the panel, Jensen said he has the same stunt guy that he did on Dark Angel, but that the guy doesn't get to do much, however, since Jared broke his arm, he freaked out the producers and now they watch both of them more carefully ;-) Oh Jared, why are you so fragile? lol.
