The AU: two thumbs up or snoozing viewer
May. 4th, 2008 02:36 pmIt's very true that every fanfic writer has their own take on what Sam and Dean are, what character space they embody, perhaps even what goals they are trying to accomplish. The thing about Supernatural is that we get really only two views of the characters, "Life during wartime" and "the goof troop" and even the goof troop episodes show Sam and Dean's life during wartime. So I think it's easy to give characters a lot of leeway in that sense. I even think that Sam-girls and Dean-girls view the characters on the show differently (oh, fuck it, I know this). However, I still think it's possible for us to identify what is out-of-character, and what is an in-character move.
Which is why when you write Supernatural AUs for movies or comics or books, not everything will work.
( In which Lauren spends her time writing meta about this rather than studying for her finals. )
