4.18 - Delay of squee

[caffienekitty]

Unavoidable delay of squee, sorry. *smacks work* Here is a small point of pondering in the meantime:

Spoilers for 4.18

If the book series in show is to be a far-future Gospel of the Winchesters, does that mean the fanfic its fans are writing will be the Apocrypha of Sam and Dean?

And by extension, since all original material in any fandom is referred to as 'Canon' does that make then all fan works 'apocryphal'?


Oh, and because if I don't type it, I'm going to start shouting it in my very religious workplace and net myself a spurious amateur exorcism:

"I AM THE PROPHET CHUCK!!!" \o/



As usual, I'm staying almost entirely offline 'til I get my brain together enough after work for a full reaction post, (possibly late tonight), so I will catch up with you all after that.

Don't think about it too hard. It will mess with your brain. Just enjoy the massive, massive nonsense. For Teh Squee is a good thing.

:giggles: You and me. Brainwaves. We share them!

You forgot to add that this is canonical proof that Kripke=God and the writers are his prophets *nods*

Rip your back muscles. I got three weeks off work and enough drugs to take down Jared padalecki out my recent adventure.

I was turning off my alarm clock! WTF???

YES!! that's perfect :) I loved this episode so much.

[caffienekitty]

But I like thinking about stuff like that! I think it's nifty! :-D

[caffienekitty]

Yay for sharing!

Weeell, I wouldn't go that far... but at the same time and by extension, isn't any writer that creates a fictional world hypothetically its god, even though that world only exists in its creator's mind and - varied through their individual perceptions of it - the minds of the readers/viewers? *ponders*

"I am frustrated by your recklessness."

*glee!*

How on earth did you manage that? Did you fall asleep wearing wrist-weights or something?

Unfortunately, during tax season no one is permitted to be sick. Not that that's any much different. :-P

[caffienekitty]

Me too!

[astrothsknot.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I reached out to turn off my alarm clock and there was a sickening pian coming from my neck and back. Cue trip to the doctor and I'm getting moved on by the police for laughing at pigeons outside the Co-op pharmacy.

[caffienekitty]

Yeesh. Must've been something got cramped or slept on wrong, and then shifted the wrong way. Is it getting better now?

[astrothsknot.livejournal.com]

Slowly. I can't turn right, but I'm not wearing a collar.

[caffienekitty]

Well that's something at least. Hope it mends quickly!

About this Winchester Gospel... you mean that in a couple thousand years, people will be reading about how 'Dean determinately pushed the doorbell... with determination'!? I love how cheesy it sounded when they all read Chuck's 'rough drafts'.

"If the book series in show is to be a far-future Gospel of the Winchesters, does that mean the fanfic its fans are writing will be the Apocrypha of Sam and Dean?"
Yes, please. ^_^

[caffienekitty]

I imagine it'd go through some re-writes and a few different versions in the thousand years' time. :-)
