Hmmm...

There are two things (well, a hell of a lot more that two, really...) that I don't understand--lol cats and Sam-is-a-girl stories.

Why is Sam a girl? What for is he female? Because number one--that's one ugly broad. Number two--why??? Explain to me, and I might read those stories. Right now, they just scare me. I can read a limited amount of Lex-in-a-skirt, but gender change stories...not too much.

And the cats just freak me out. There, I said it. They make me all ew and grumpy. But I must admit, inanimate objects with personality can make me laugh. And fish, and other non-fluffy animals. Somehow, it's just cats and dogs I don't like all that much. (as in hell no)


The world was so much simpler when I was a girl.

It's interesting how the way you come into the fandom effects your perception. Unlike SV, I was hooked like a fish on SpN before I really got into the fic, and I'm still kind of on and off with SpN fic now. I've never read bad genderswap, I've never read good genderswap--like Mpreg, it's something I avoid--like the Boys getting married, the Boys dressing like girls, the Boys crying way too much...lots of stuff like that. Which of course, I've written in SV--all of it except the GSwap.

So maybe I just didn't have as strong an attachment to to guys as we see them onscreen?)

I think that's why I'm into AUs so much? Because I loved SV fic, loved it to death, loved the characters and had *no* idea what they looked like for the longest time. Not being hung up on the show does free you up to enjoy vastly different takes on the characters, yes?

You know...I can feel the curiosity building. Oh well, I'll just blame you! *GRIN*

If you're really curious, I'm pretty sure I have a genderswap tag in my delicious recs, which are here: del.icio.us/norwich36 (Actually my favorite one isn't genderswap per se--it's the lyra wing story where a succubus steals Sam's dick, and Dean just gets really, really curious. It's honestly one of the hottest things ever, imho). Of course, I also have many many plain old Sam/Dean as boys links there, too.

Hunh! I might check it out, thanks so much. I'm not sure if I will be *that* curious, but I've done a lot of things over the last few years I swore I'd never do. ;)
