No worries about having a dissenting opinion - I was actually really thrilled with the intelligent conversation the panel provoked
I was really impressed with the way everyone handled themselves. On line discussions can get out of hand pretty darn quickly, but everyone at the panel was great!
1) that it is a different thing for the fan and the casual viewer,
I often wonder about casual viewers in general, no matter what the show. Probably because I've never been one. If I like a show I watch it every week, not just randomly turn it on every three weeks or so. [shrug] But yes, you're right. If you don't watch SPN every week, you might not realize that Dean's hate language is really only directed to demons, etc. and might come off with a different opinion of him than we have.
Anyway, I'm just thrilled that we all had an opportunity to talk about it in a calm and respectful manner, rather than the way it's apparently been addressed on the web, as "wank."
There are certain things I agree are wank, but this topic is not one of them!
you mentioned you know of a community where you could suggest prompts for fanfic writers to take on
Oh yeah! It's rpsspnbyrequest
I hope you can find someone to take your prompt!
Anyway, it was terrific to hang out with you and the gang again
I'm so glad you joined us for the weekend! :-)
was exactly why I go to cons and why I stay in fandom. :)
God, me, too, and I don't understand folks who would rather just sit behind their computer screen instead of interacting face to face with other fans. I don't get it!
