I have a bad feeling about this. /han solo

First of all, just.../why/? It's fanfic. It's not nearly as interesting to them as it is to us. And if they /did/ want to read it, well, it's pretty easily accessible all over the place. Also, appointing yourself the judge of what's the best fanfic = recipe for disaster.

And, you know, I get not wanting to send TPTB Wincest and slash, but if you're going to exclude those because you want to keep it as close to canon as possible, I'd say you'd better exclude all AUs and anything rated above PG13 (since the show itself is rated TV-14.)

But in general, just...gah, no. Fanfic is for the fans, full stop.

I saw that and did a massive amount of eyeroll. They aren't going to read fanfic, especially Kripke.

Something tells me that Jared did NOT mean online fanfiction when he answered that question in the Australian interview. -.-;;

I mean, if they /did/ want to read fanfic -- it's right exactly hard to find.

What did Jared say about fanfic?

[blackjedii.livejournal.com]

It's in the un, Channel Ten Australia interview? The one with three/four parts?

One of the questions was if Jared read/liked fanfiction. And he said that he didn't read "them" although he owned a few because he was trying to stay close to Kripke and the other writer's vision of Sam but maybe when the show was finished he'd read the books and reminesce.
Which sounds a whole lot like he was talking about the novels, not the fanfic.
Here are the links if you haven't seen em (they're awesome!!)

I do believe he mentioned picking up "the books" and reading them, some phrasing to that extent. I don't think he was talking about online fanfic, either.

Thanks for the link! And yeah, it sounds to me like he's talking about the tie-in novels.
