I've read a review where people say that Supernatural is very like X-Files in tone! It hasn't been supercreepy yet so far for me - well, the haunted asylum was creepy I guess - but perhaps it is only a matter of time. And if I think about it, why am I not in SPN fandom already anyway?! It's got folklore, Christian mythology, road trips, questionable family dynamics, and it's set in the US so I don't have to be Britpicked yay.

I'm not bothered by the gender/racefail I think, I just can't not notice it. It's like what we were discussing a while back about how now I now have sensitive faildar thanks to fandom. I mean, I don't want to not see it, it's just that now it's a big part of how I process stories. If I want to focus on other aspects of the narrative, I consciously have to tell my faildar to calm down.

LOL RACIST TRUCK WUT

ALSO LOL I actually do not know about your thing with incest and Pennsylvania, I have not seen you mention it. Maybe you should?! WHAT KISSING ON A MOTHERFUCKING BOAT, WHAT. Maybe what you should do is make a list of the shippiest X-Files episode XD.

I agree with [livejournal.com profile] almostinstinct up there that the two groups of Narnia fen are dealing with different texts. The books are happyfuntimes, but the movies articulate some consequences that Lewis completely glossed over. It's less of a leap to go from the Prince Caspian movie to post-Narnia angst and anger at god, because the movie actually touches on this. Narnia-wise I end up gravitating towards what Lewis doesn't say, rather than what he does.
