Okay, listened:) You're reader's note cracked me up almost as much as the scene to which it refered. Everything sounds quite good. And I truely believe there is no such thing as SPN gen fic - there's slash, pre-slash, and pre-pre-slash that thinks it's gen, or something like that. Or some other "absurdly intense connection that is not quite sexual but certainly isn't fraternal" catergory.
I've got a few people on my f-list how are quite aware of the percieved anti-woman-ness of SPN. I do notice that females on the show tend to be pretty then hurt then dead, but I figure confines of the genre and all. But they do have a point - as this vid illustrates : Woman's Work by Luminosity (sockkpuppett) and sisabet. Awesome vid, but tends to harsh the squee.
Hey, I'm from Phoenix as well!
Hee! I grew up FAR east valley (Apache Junction - I know...), and went to college in Tucson. On days like today (45 and raining, again) I even miss the heat - it's the middle of March, I should have broken out the flip-flops WEEKS ago. I miss good margaritas!
Randomly, your daughter may enjoy L.J. Smith's Vampire Diaries series - I rec'd them to someone on my F-list a while ago. I'm sure they are painfully out of date and cheesy now, but they were my intro the the teen-aged vampire romance when I was 12 or so, and I still have fond memories. They've been reissued in the post-Twilight craze.
