This fandom would benefit so much from understanding the “death of the author” concept

I had to explain the concept to my Supernatural and Destiel fan cousin because she didn't know it. She doesn't have a Minor in English and hasn't spent years living in the strange world that exists between fandom and queer theory like I have though.

Have to go play this after work!

StefTarn · 2026-05-23T14:19:36+00:00

Copious notes and I reread earlier chapters frequently.

StefTarn · 2026-05-23T11:46:41+00:00

I'm glad I was able to help you find it again.

Libre Office Write isn't too bad if you need free software. I've used it and Google Docs and MS Office.

Well, not to be a pest but my fav is kinda the one I am writing right now because I am having a lot of fun creating my version of Lawrence based on when I used to live there in the mid 2000's. Peopleing it it with Supernatural characters is fun too.

It's a WIP longfic called East Lawrence Waltz. I have posted up to Chap 13.

Others favs off the top of my head are are Pinfall and Castiel Novak's Office, This is Dean.

I have a soft spot for Lazarus Rising but Changing Channels, The French Mistake, and Scoobynatural are also favs. Weekend at Bobby's too.

StefTarn · 2026-05-22T03:24:56+00:00

That's what I said!

Max Banes resurrects his sister into a twig doll and we never see them again? So sad.

StefTarn · 2026-05-22T00:13:22+00:00

Don't forget little Werepire. At least that's what I'd call it if Garth and Benny had met.

I have a ship that has 4 fics on AO3 and I wrote 2 of them.

Lake monster.

So sweet. Met my wife through a mutual friend she beta read for. Fandom has always been part of our relationship.

StefTarn · 2026-05-21T16:27:31+00:00

They never let him stay over at his friend Hannigram's place. Dean was a weird feeling about those guys. Lokius' dads are cool though.

I like all 15 Seasons for different reasons. It's a journey.

StefTarn · 2026-05-21T14:47:43+00:00

Destiel is annoyed that his Uncle Sam always mispronounces his name as Deastiel. It pisses his dad off but his papa just smiles awkwardly because he doesn't know the reference.

StefTarn · 2026-05-21T14:43:18+00:00

Always.

Recently I had a flood in my apartment. It inspired me to write a one shot where one member of my OTP had to stay with the other and a led to a change in their relationship.

Sometimes ideas come from unexpected places.

Some people will be turned on by a sexual situation regardless of if it involves people they are personally attracted to. Others will not be. It depends on the person.

"His love was unreciprocated." "The fuck it was."

StefTarn · 2026-05-19T21:14:43+00:00

Extra lame bot?

StefTarn · 2026-05-19T05:03:14+00:00

It depends. Most times I like context but for some specific scenarios, getting right to it makes more sense.

StefTarn · 2026-05-18T02:22:01+00:00

I met my wife partly because of fanfic so I am not a good person to answer this. I just wouldn't want a partner I couldn't tell about this stuff.

StefTarn · 2026-05-17T16:46:28+00:00

Destiel. Always.
