Shooting Breakfast Cereal Through Your Nose Hurts (and Other Fun Facts about Wanky Fanfic)

As some of you may know, I watch Supernatural (claughter713 , harmanhay & wishnaway – wipe those fake shocked looks off your faces!); what you may not know is that about a year ago I discovered an amazing connection between this television show and Livejournal.

Did you know that people on Livejournal post something called ‘fanfic’?

(Stop laughing; I had no idea. Seriously.)

I have been on El Jay for about six years now; I followed some costuming friends in back in '05 and sat around chatting about dress diaries and historical clothing and…you know…the stuff I thought that pretty much everyone did on Livejournal.

Apparently, that is not what pretty much everyone else did on Livejournal.

Imagine my shock when my fanfic savvy sister (qafhappy) mentioned that I might be able to find a community on here that wrote stories about my favorite TV show?

(Dude, she was totally setting me up. I see that now. I mean seriously, Look At Her User Name. She has been a QAF fan for years and knew all about Livejournal as a fanfic source.)

Needless to say, finding out about fandom’s involvement on El Jay is sort of like finding out that you have been living in a closet off the living room of a crowded mansion…for years…without ever knowing that the other parts of the house exist or that there are people in them. Then one day you open the closet door and BAM! You are in the middle of this totally crazy party full of some of the coolest, nuttiest, funniest people you will ever meet.

However, you will soon discover that once the closet door is open it is almost impossible to shut it again.

(And this is where we leave the ‘coming out’ analogy.)

So anyway. Back to the meat of this particular post (besides the coming out as a fangirl part); a friend of mine sent me a link to this little jewel.

The 5 Most Baffling Sex Scenes in the History of Fanfiction

OMG.

If you have never read fanfic and are curious about it, you can think of the link above as a trial by fire. Just be aware, this is not your standard fanfic fare; at least it isn’t in the corners of fandom I frequent.

*shudder*

Try not to have anything in your mouth while you read the summaries. You are likely to aspirate on it.
