The Relationship Between Supernatural Slash Fans and Producers

My thesis is finally done!

I wrote about the relationship between slash fans and TV producers using the example of Supernatural and Destiel fans. The first part is about what encourages the fans to write fanfiction in the series and everything around it, the second part is about the relationship slash writers have with canon, and the third part is about the way Supernatural producers have perceived their slash fans over the years.

Several people have asked to read it so I'm sharing it here for anyone who would be interested. Small warning though it's more than a hundred pages long!

Don't hesitate to come tell me what you think about it I'd love to hear the opinion of other people in the fandom 😊

Tagging people who were interested under the cut.

top five most important things you can give a character. 1. bisexuality. 2. autism. 3. so much negative rizz it loops around into irresistibility. 4. so many bad events. 5. a coping mechanism that’s cute and silly provided you don’t think about it too hard

i saw a post on twitter by a european saying americans are fake for their random compliments to strangers and their general cheery demeanor and like no. no no no you don’t understand. if you get a random compliment from an american on the street about your outfit or whatever, that is 100% genuine. we mean it. we aren’t lying we are making a small but fleeting connection with you because our lives are shitty but the human condition is enduring. oh god i’m clutching my chest

In my experience the "fake" feeling non-Americans get comes from the fact that Americans are so friendly that you'll end up thinking "oh wow we're great friends now" after a conversation but no, they were just being American™

hot take incoming: revolt and revolution doesn't create a fair and equitable society. it creates a power vaccum, which is terrifying because it is incredibly fertile ground for all sorts of warlords, aspiring tyrants, paramilitary extremists, and imperial powers to swoop in and start doing atrocities over it. You can put a new society in a power vaccum, but so can anyone else, and most of those potential outcomes are going to be horrifying, not to mention to the hellscape interim period.

To create a fair and equitable society you need to know civics, administration, diplomacy, and yes, statecraft. Yes they're boring and unglamorous and icky and gross. But i promise that you need them. They are mandatory. Not optional.
