Sam/Dean in the news! But not THAT kind of news

[twasadark]

Wincesters are being studied now, people. Like, WRITTEN ABOUT IN BORING ACADEMIC JOURNALS type of studying.
Favorite lines & link:

The celebration of the semicriminal life of tortured outcasts roaming the earth is nothing new; it hearkens back to Romanticism

Well, duh.  Have you SEEN the way these "tortured outcasts" look??

Dean shoves him off, but the camera-and Dean's eyes-linger upon Sam's body writhing drunkenly upon the bed.

Well whose eyes WEREN'T frickin' lingering on said drunken writhing?? LOL!! And now I should go re-watch that eppy so that I can see it again ....

If you dare, here's the article. Warning: in true academic fashion, it makes Wincest boring. Oh, btw, I had a job interview for teaching community college today and it went great! Woo hoo! Maybe I'll have to put this article on my list of required readings. LOL!!!

I SO don't get Wincest.

That's awesome! What will you be taeching? Creative writing?

Yeah, I was initially HORRIFIED by the idea of wincest. Now I'm reading the stuff aloud. *facepalm* I think that the idea of two hot guys who don't look alike makes the whole incest taboo less scary -- at least in fiction. In real life, incest is VERY BAD.

I'll be teaching history. I love love love history. For all that I'm a writer I've only taken one literature class. But history is nothing but stories! They're just real. :-)

Cool. I've been thinking about trying to get a job at a community college after I graduate and teach a creative writing class on fan fic but I really don't know much about it. I'm still learning.
