Yet another fandom :)
Feb. 26th, 2009 11:03 pmI know I don't really need another fandom to follow, and I had stayed out of this one for a while despite it being the sort of thing that I normally watch simply because I knew that I'd get suckered in.
Basically my brother is to blame for this, he's be watching it from the start and keeps telling me to watch it. I think his description was 'it's got weird stuff and the sort of music you (me) normally have playing in your car.'
The series and associated fandom in question is Supernatural.
So I've now watched through the first series over the past week or so. Fin had got all the episodes downloaded already because someday sit seems like he's downloaded the whole internet - it can be handy though as it means I've got everything right up to date just sitting on the shared hdd waiting for me to have time to watch it.
I don't think it's likely to become one of my main fandoms, and I'm not sure that I'll ever end up writing anything in it, because although it's a good series it just doesn't connect for me like Torchwood did. I might be wrong, but if after watching 22 episodes I'm just not getting a connection I'm thinking it's probably not going to happen.
If it does end up being a fandom that I write fic in I think it will about Dean Winchester. I get the impression that there are probably more Sam fangirls than Dean ones, I guess Sam (well from what I've seen so far) has the whole young, floppy haired, idealistic, woobie potential that seems to get the more fans (Not that I particularly see the character as that, but I can certainly see why some people might). Dean is more brash, seems totally self confident, doesn't seem to care what people think, but there are moments in it when you see that a lot of it might be an act or at the very least he's not totally unaffected by what's going on, that a lot of it is bravado because he doesn't want his younger brother to be hurt or worried and he feels it's his responsibilty to keep him safe.
