Stupornatural

pdragon76 berated her flist for not alerting her to this in a timely fashion, so I thought I'd better share it in case any of you guys missed it.

I'm speaking, of course, of Stupornatural, a pretty darn fantastic fanmade parody of Supernatural. The pacing is a little slow at first, but it's totally worth sticking around for it to get up to speed. So many funny, funny lines and visuals.

You can also click on the link to watch on Vimeo and get a bigger screen.

They also have outtakes, which are even funnier. I had such a huge grin on my face through the whole reel. They made me think nostalgically of my college friends who made student films and all their travails and fun. Michael and Matthew are so obviously brothers it gave me the giggle fits.

AND. ash48 made a fanvid, just to make sure they got the whole fandom experience. Her fantastic sense of timing and music improves on the original and I love it just as much.

Honestly, I think Mike and Matt are fully as adorable as Sam and Dean, or at least Jared and Jensen. I'm totally tempted to write Stupornatural fanfic, just to round out the whole thing.

Supernatural Reccy Time

So, I have this problem where sometimes I read things like fandomsecrets and fandom_wank, even though this is not generally good for my sanity and general level of good cheer. I keep doing it because the adorable is FREAKIN' adorable (wouldn't have written "Stupid People" without that secret about Cas looking like a pet-begging-kitty), and the wank is so ridiculous that it makes me laugh sometimes. But then there are things sometimes, you know, where people whine about how batshit insane and wanky and misogynistic the SPN fandom is, and that makes me sad (even if sometimes they are sort of true sometimes).

Because, you guys, for real, there are people in this fandom who are amazing. Just...beyond amazing. Incredibly talented, sweet, generous... I mean, I could go on. And on and on and on.

In this particular instance, I'm talking about authoressnebula. If you don't know this awesome fantastic person, you are missing out. MISSING OUT.

For several years now she's been writing ficlets for, like, a hundred people every Christmas. A HUNDRED PEOPLE YOU GUISE. I asked for holiday prompts last year from my flist and only got around to like six of them. (I still feel bad about that.) And she wrote 115. ::hands::

The community is skynspace, and it is chock full of magic. I've only looked through a few of the Supernatural ficlets, but she wrote for bunches of other fandoms too.

AND OMG THE ONE SHE MADE FOR ME YOU GUYS IT MAKES ME GO ALL FLAILY LIKE THIS. (Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.) Here it is! The only way it could be a more perfect present for me is if it was a real life Castiel standing in my kitchen eating my cookies and making confused faces at me. Because, you know, that would be my perfect present. (And oh, I would feed him cookies. SO MANY COOKIES.)

So yeah. Go. Enjoy the fics. Bask in the glow of authoressnebula's astounding talent and generosity and all-around awesomeness.

And then try to tell me that our fandom isn't insanely wonderful.
