Nostalgia

[roxy]

Remember when we knew all this stuff about cows and farming because we were writing Smallville? *reminiscing sigh* When I first started writing SpN, I thought, "Man, this stuff is easy! I don't have to know anything about Kansas or farms or billionaires and how much they spend for shirts or prostitutes...." Those were the days, my friend!

ROFLMAO! I downloaded penthouse schematics for a Smallville fic, looked up expensive whiskey and priced out sexy cars. I swear I spent more time researching than writing. LOL
Yeah, SPN is soooo much easier.

LOL I know the difference between age of consent in KS and Cali.

Oh Smallville.

Ah, SPN, the simple times. Now I'm writing hockey fic and I know teams and schedules and rules and diets and OMG it never ends. Canada. So much freakin' Canada research. I know more about Victoria than I know about Houston, and I live in TX. At least I can set most of the fics in my hometown of Dallas.

Yeah, now it's just easy stuff like Phoenician history and mythology and the symptoms of a blown head gasket : /

Oh, man, a fandom where you had legit reasons to research cow shit, E.P.A violations, various mutations, Kansas sex statutes, world geography, ancient and medieval history, not to mention decades of comics canon to use, ignore, or twist for our own evil purposes.

It seems like every fandom has something, but I hadn't actually considered that SPN has less of that sort of thing until now!

I started a Smallville rewatch last night, and man . . . I wept so many nostalgic tears.

Those cows won't milk themselves, son!
