WTF SPN Fandom?
Jan. 14th, 2009 03:16 pmI'm feeling sickly today, so I'm going to bitch about SPN. In essence, I don't think I want to explore Supernatural fandom after all. I'll stick to the fic.
I've barely dipped my feet in by scrolling through comments to the Ruby fics I've found so far, and WTF fandom? What is with all this Ruby hate? She's the best female character to enter the scene since Ellen (and please don't tell me that there's Ellen-hate, too, because I will flip a bitch). Sam/Ruby is hot. I'm shipping them like crazy right now. Though, granted, Genevieve Cortese can barely act, but I'm still clinging to my Katie!Ruby love. And that scene between Sam and Ruby? HOT, says I. Since I'm never gonna get to see Dean and Sam go at it like that on the show, color me pleased.
I also keep stumbling on the kind of bitchiness that I usually reserve for Heroes. It's not that I'm saying that SPN doesn't deserve the same love and attention that Heroes gets. But maybe it's just that I feel like Heroes deserves tons of bitchy meta from across its fandom after the show set itself up for these huge expectations that they haven't been able to meet, and SPN never pretended to be anything other than it was. This show is too campy and monster-of-the-week for that crap. There was an episode about a racist serial killer truck. Enough said. Everyone needs to calm down and stop harshin' on my squees.
