Why I will be laying off the Supernatural fanfiction...

I've been reading and writing fanfiction since I was in high school. Some of the stuff fans of shows churn out equals the quality (in some cases, exceeds) of the canon. Every show I really like (and there are only a few of those), I've read fanfic in. However, I think I'm gonna cool it down with Supernatural fanfic. Think a major aspect of it is my growing inner protest against "Wincest", a word which I feel is pretty self-explanatory, I'd suppose, but for those who are still going, "Whaaa?", Wincest is the name the SPN (Supernatural) fan community has given to Dean/Sam slash fanfiction or in even more crystal terms, fan-authored stories where the Winchester boys get it on. ("Winchester" plus "incest" - pretty clever.) Brotherly love, with an emphasis on the love. Uh huh, I don't get it either. Wait, okay, I get it, on an intellectual level. After all, hasn't Brokeback Mountain taught us that intimate relations between two smokin' hot men can be fantastic? And damn steamy? Uh...to sidetrack back to Wincest, I personally think it's a natural reaction to having a show with two attractive leads, who are more or less in every scene together, and no one else around. That was the case with the X-Files, too, and the consequence of that is - fans are gonna want some action to be had. I mean, you throw two good-looking people together, it's only so long before the natural voyeur in many of us start clamoring for them to do the mattress mambo. I should know; I was an avid Mulder/Scully shipper. I totally wanted them to get together. I cheered when they kissed - hell, I cheered when they gave each other significant looks. No one was more elated than me when Scully got knocked up and had Mulder's love child, and that sounds kinda horrible, but you have to understand it in the context of the show. So, I get wanting fictional characters to get it on. What I do not get about Wincest is that there is a huge hurdle for it be possible - they are BROTHERS. Like I said, two men hooking up is cool, especially when they're as luscious as the actors who play the Winchester brothers. But, hello, they play blood siblings. Asking them to engage in intimate behavior? That's downright gross! Incest - it's a taboo! Yet, you cannot believe the amount of fans out there who not only heartily support it, but write stories that describe, in vivid detail, how it would go down. And most are of the female persuasion. I'm all for suspension of disbelief, and et cetera, and I think it's perfectly okay for people to write this stuff, but I am not gonna read it anymore. I have combed through like dozens of stories, and only one involved a woman - and that was in a threesome. I know, I know, there are people out there who probably write the guys getting it on with other people, both of the same and opposite sex, but those are few and far between. If I have to read again about Sam pulling on Dean's delectable lip or Dean nibbling Sam's earlobe...ugh. I just don't see it happening. Two people, raised together, seeing each other everyday, having their relationship reinforced every second - how do you turn that around and have them schtupping each other? Don't even get me started on some of the stuff I've stumbled across between the guys and their father. You gotta love freedom of speech, but you needn't tolerate it. So, I think I'm gonna lay off the Supernatural fanfiction for now.

Final thought: Wincest doesn't work for me because I just can't get over the fact that they are brothers. Throw that out of the equation, though? I'm there!
