I know that most fans of Supernatural will consider my words blasphemous, but if I should choose between Bobby and John, I would choose Bobby any day. I just like him better than John Winchester. Don't get me wrong, I have loved Jeffrey Dean Morgan something fierce since I saw him in Burning Zone, but I think that John's presence disrupted the chemistry between Sam and Dean whereas Bobby strengthens it. He is also a better father figure, at least in my opinion. The talk he had with Dean in the junkyard spoke volumes :)

Of fanfiction and its lameness

For once, I won't talk about Supernatural because I have never stumbled across another fandom that would have as many great talents as SPN.

I'll talk about the other two favorite series of mine - Psych and Charmed. In these two fandoms, trying to find a well-written fic is like digging for water on the Sahara! When you read the summaries, you think, wow, what a great idea. But the writing itself...

I think that many of the authors in these fandoms would benefit from a very good beta. Most of the Charmed fics are obviously written by teenies who may have some potential but they can't spell even the simplest words correctly. In the Psych fandom, the problem is similar but different at the same time. Interesting plots but no style whatsoever. Jumping from one POV to another, no exposition, no description, rushing too much to get to the point - I recognize these signs because I used to do the same thing and I now cringe just remembering it. If the author doesn't have the patience to develop a story, they should write drabbles - in drabbles, there is no time to describe anything.

So far, the best Psych fic I could find is "An Act of Kindness" by JessicaRae, a missing scene from the episode Spelling Bee that I already rec'ed here once. I can't recommend it enough though. The interaction between Shawn and the OC is very well done! Too bad that there aren't other stories like this one.

In the Charmed fandom, I still haven't found even one story worth rec'ing and that's sad. But I've been perusing the C2 communities on ff.net these days where they at least separate the really bad stories from the bad ones.

And my own writing? Nothing glorious. In the last two weeks, I have finished only one Charmed fic called "Alone, In the Woods" and today, a Supernatural drabble that doesn't have a name yet :P And my Priest!Dean fic is still not finished! *facepalm*
