A question for my readers

[feliciakw]

As we begin a new season of SPN, I find myself contemplating the future of my long and rambly commentaries. I've been doing them since the beginning of S4, so for three whole seasons. But the person who initially asked me to do them is no longer active on LJ, and others of my f-list have become busy with RL or have become disillusioned with the show.

This brings to mind a few questions.

I know that one or two of you read my long commentaries, but it seems that if anyone is inclined to comment on my thoughts, you'll do so in my initial "react-o-matic" style post immediately following the ep.

So. Have a poll:

[Poll #1780946]

Comments

This seems as good a time as any to introduce myself and wave hello. This spring I fell in love with SPN and watched the whole series for the first time. I've been vaguely aware of you for years because I'd see you commenting on izhilzha's posts, so when I was ready to find SPN-inclined folks, you were one of the people I started with. I appreciate your perspective as a person of faith, and also I appreciate your Jensen Ackles appreciation. :)

So: I have not actually read any of your rambly commentaries, but I'm very excited about the new season, and if you continue to write them I will definitely read them.

You didn't have an option for "Nope, because I don't watch Supernatural and never have...."
In principle, I'm all for long and thinky meta. However, I still won't be reading the long and thinky meta for a show I don't follow.
I'll just continue reading your other posts!

I checked that I like reading your meta and will read it, even if we aren't in the same mindset about the show right now. ;) There are only a handful of SPN fen I will read, and you're one of them.

Not really looking forward to the show myself, I'll be honest, which is why I had to check the comment thing. I'm not watching live, I'm dvr'ing and reading reactions before I decide to watch, FF, or delete an episode unwatched. I've got to see some serious changes as well as a change in showrunner attitude before I re-commit.

Of course, even if it's wonderful, I still have a real conflict with Fringe, which I love and honestly do think is the better show in general. Then at the end of Oct Grimm begins on NBC, and if I like that too, it's gonna get ugly in that timeslot (thank goodness for On-Demand!). *ack* So SPN could still be dvr material even if I think it's a better show this year. ;)

Hi feliciakw,

I'm another regular reader of your lj without ever having commented previously. I enjoy reading your take on the episodes and find even if I don't completely agree with all your thoughts I love that your reviews are more positive overall than many others on the net. I am one of the most technically challenged people I know, yet even I can manage the on/off switch on a remote control and sometimes I can even find the switch to change the channel! I understand other people are completely entitled to their own opinions and if they choose to be surrounded by negativity it is their own choice, I choose to live a life full of joy, happiness and positive energy, which is another reason I am drawn to your journal.

I have watched Supernatural since it first aired and love it warts and all. The entire first season I was completely unaware there was an online fandom so it wasn't until after the season one final when I had to resort to the internet to find out what was going to happen and when my show was going to return did I discover the darker world of the fandom. Talk about an eyeopener!!! Even now I think I prefer the term 'dedicated viewer' rather than 'fan'.

I hope you will continue to post your thinky thoughts and I wish you love and many blessings in your life.
Anita

Didn't participate in the poll. As i atated in my LJ today i won't read any spn posts if the posters don't want me to comment. Considering how different our views on the show are right now i doubt you need my bitchiness in your lj.
