Oh, that fic sounds like it could be interesting. I like the challenge, too. Like - I loved the researchy way The Incestuous Courtship by Fleshflutter started (I'm sure you know that one. It's too fantastic to rec) :)
I'm curious in what way he discovers his sexuality (though - < soapbox >, feel free to just skip). I love fic that deals with discovering one's wants/needs/loves etc, but I'm not a fan of a lot of the "discovering I'm gay" stories. I prefer ambiguity to that. I enjoyed The Devil Really Does Wear Prada, the way Sam was gay in it was fine to me, since he was Sam. But sometimes it's just all about the narrative we all learned - coming out, "it's OK to be gay", even as far as announcing your marriage to your normative sweetheart at a family barbecue and adopting children while you work as a lawyer and an architect and have a female best friend who's so emotionally disturbed and would totally do you if you weren't gay. "This is the only way to live, and only people who do this deserve any rights. It gets better if you're normative-white-thin-gorgeous-middle class-cisgender-sexual-able-monogamous". People write that less for bi, but it also exists. And I just read it and think of the guys at the LGBT center who wouldn't allow us to use one of their rooms for a youth bi and pan group because "no one really needs that". One of the things I love about SPN is its complicated relationship with being normative. < / rant >
Aww, Due South! I watched a few episodes, it was really cute! And a friend kinds pulled me into a group of fans of the show, though I didn't know it well - fun!
I tried to watch Merlin but had to quit after an episode or two; I hated The Social Network because it's full of Mean People Doing Mean Things
THIS. Exactly.
I drool at the prospect of a J2 AU wherein they are both podficcers. >:} How delightful of a concept is that?!
YES, PLEASE!
Or Sam and Dean, or J2, listening to podfic... "Dude, she nailed your fake-butch tone". "Always said you sounded like a girl, Sammy". And the whole - listening to sex scenes as you wait in line or do the laundry. Can it be transferred to a tape for the Impala? What'd Dean think of the music people choose? "That girl sounded like she was honestly turned on. Do you think they fake it, like in porn?" - "She just liked the thought of me naked. Can't blame her". - "She wasn't thinking about you naked, she was being you naked, that's not the same thing". -"Why, I like the thought of me naked". Hrm.
Thanks for the recs! I should get more into the podfic community <3
