Do people who write Christian Kane in all those J2 stories even know who the hell he is? They screw him up almost as much as they screw up Michael and Tom. Very annoying.

Heh, does he play the role of "the Other Man" who steals one of the J's away?

I've never written Christian Kane - if I ever did, I'd send him to the barber shop to get rid of all that hair so we can enjoy his pretty bone structure again.

I'm using a CK variant in my current long J2 AU. Mr Christopher Caine is neither the wingman nor the rival, but a sporting buddy to my Jensen character. He's a great horseman, a cocky fighter, and a bit of a warm sentimentalist under a bluff exterior. He serves two main narrative functions: he's the voice of straightdom by which my Jensen character gets a better idea of his own different-ness, and he gives my Jensen character someone to exposition interact with besides my Jared character.

Now that Chris is practically a close personal friend of the family, I'm inclined to fic him only with great respect.

Heeeee!

You know what? I get annoyed at all the 'Chris' out there. His name's *Christian*, and when i see him on set goofing around with his Leverage buddies or whoever, it's always 'Christian'.

It's so pretty - use his full name!!
*and i luff him, and he's apparently a bit crazy, but i just don't get the whole 'best buddies with Jensen' thing. I mean...do they actually ever hang out all that much? It's very confusing.*

P.S. His long hair is fucking hot. :)

I don't read a lot of J2 fics, but I do once in a while. I haven't read any that had CK in them, but I did just read one that had Tom, and I finally get where you're coming from. Tom's character was written as unintelligent, jealous, and a bully. I didn't get the characterization at all, especially as it didn't need to be Tom for the plot - they could have had an OC tall, dark-haired guy just fine. It was infuriating.

*giggle* you know - I've wondered that myself. I was quite surprised when I watched Leverage to find out it was the guy I had been reading about heheh.... weird.

I have to admit that in one of my J2 AUs I do have him and Jensen being close friends but I kind of needed a certain type of person in the role and he just fit. It's AU it could happen! They're not bff or anything, but he fit so well, especially after I learned some stuff about him later, and I have so much fun with it so I don't care. :P

I do get tired of him being the one that fixes everything or puts up with Jensen's neurotic personality traits. I'm not even sure where those supposed personality traits come form.

I agree with you but this is nothing new, the fandoms is always doing this. But I guess that you being so mad is what a lot of readers feels when they read a Smallville Fic and find a completely different Clark, most of the writers seem to hate Clark Kent and adore Lex Luthor but that is not the problem. Clark is always the idiot, hard headed, disloyal, , egotistical liar and almost mental retard who gets Lex into troubles. And Lex apparently gets good reason (almost always Clark is responsible or a SOB with it) for becoming a villian.

What you say about screwing up Christian Kane is true but everyone is free to do as they please. I read those J2 fics and don't really care for anyone else just for J2.

I posted a rant about the way Michael is portrayed in J2 fics and got shouted down by the SPN fans on my flist :(

Still, I will be rectifying all these errors with my epic RPF Bigbang fic! Christian isn't in it but I will show people how Tom and Michael are supposed to be damnit!

Jensen singing happy birthday to Christian, so I dunno they seem pretty close
