I needhelp! Not that kind of help.

[roxy]

Here's the thing--I've been writing happily away on this SpN thing—oh, there's an SV story in the works too--shhhhhh--anyhoo, happily fuzting around with this thing, with back-pats and atta-girls to myself, the stepping back and grabbing mine ample cheeks and squeezing—who's a great clever writer than, who's an uzzy-wuzzy story-teller—thasright, iz yooooo!

Happy, you know? So I'm at work today(Hello Targeh, did you miss me?) and suddenly it hits me--this story is impossible! (i mean, more than usual)The idea being that a poor orphan of the storm moves in with the Winchesters who are temporarily housed in a kind of suburban neighborhood. I was all liking the idea--teh angst, teh drama--when of course, TVreality kicked in. John would beat the living crap out of those boys if they brought some poor little match boy home. Shit.

So, what I'm asking here is, can I just play logic off and go with it? Do you think other folks would be willing to meet me there? I *think* I can see a way to make it work somewhat. I turn to you, my friends, and ask you what you think? Think--ha! you know what I want! *makes the anime eyes*

Plus, there'll be cooooooookies….

I know I probably have a totally screwed up version of John in my head since I haven't seen that infamous s3 episode, but anyway...

I think John would be pissed, but if he was confronted with some sad-eyed, half-starved orphan that had no one I think he'd eventually cave in. Especially if the kid was orphaned by some big supernatural beastie or something that struck close to home. But then, I hate to think that every good emotion in John died when Mary was killed. I'm probably the one person in fandom that thinks that John cared about the boys.

I've seen a lot of fic where John wasn't a total bastard and people believed the fic, read it, and enjoyed it.

Um...so you know I'm sending that bit to you, right? *G*

I think a lot of us out there know John loved his kids, fucked up way or not. Especially after the Time Travel ep, I think folks had to rethink John a little bit. :)

I hope I'm getting to see it. :P

I think that for a lot of fans it was easier to label John a bastard than to consider why he did the things he did. After what happened to Mary how could the man not be a bit (or more than a bit) crazy? I think part of the reason I never got on the John hate was because I can see so many similarities between him and Sam. So if I hate John, then My!Sam will get angry with me. LOL

Though he's already pouting so...
