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!!!

Buffy may have offered more characters and thus a bigger variety of relationships between these characters (romantic or otherwise) but hardly any of them were as complex as Sam and Dean's characters and relationship (again, romantic or otherwise).


Wow! I had no idea that Buffy had been written about so much, but you're right, it had more fans. Even though SPN is better (of course, lol).

I'm glad you liked the article - I found it to be pretty accurate. It's just so weird to see fandom all laid out and analyzed like that! :-)
