EPILOGUE: The Kripked Fangirl

"Jared, please don't--"

"You lost the bet," Jared points out, patting him on the ass. "Besides, we owe them a lot. You owe them a lot."

Jensen groans and makes a face at himself in the mirror, where he's trying to make his hair behave itself for the panel. Damn Jared and his fucking big hands, making him come in less than three minutes. That's just pathetic. He probably deserves public humiliation.

Just not this particular public humiliation. "Modest, aren't we?"

Jared laughs. "You love me and you know it."

"I do," Jensen admits grudgingly. "I'm just not sure I love you this much."

"Jensen. These are my friends. They're the reason I pulled my head out of my ass. I wanna give them this."

Jensen sighs. "I can shove you off, right?"

Jared grins. "Damn straight."

"Fiiine."

*~*~*

"Yeah, I love you too, bitch," Jared says, and reaches over to pull at Jensen's head, giving him a smack on the lips that echoes through the mikes.

The room goes absolutely silent and still, except for a few small, desperate whimpers.

"Get off me, asshole," Jensen grumbles, shoving him off and grinning like it's all a big joke. Eric grins, too, and makes some sorta comment about a big happy family, and the panel keeps going.

It isn't till the panel's over and the fangirls start to get outside the room that the screaming begins.

Jensen's pretty sure the lobby is still echoing when they leave two days later.

Hi. I have never seen an episode of Supernatural in my life, nor have I read a single piece of fic or rps in this fandom, but this was just rec'd my way today and it is quite possibly the most perfect thing ever. I read it twice straight through and then downloaded the podfic. I love your fangirls. I love the bemused but fond way Jared regards them. I love Jared being utterly confused by fangirls and their slang. I love how he gets sucked in.

Basically, I just love it. (and since you so kindly included recs for the J2 beginner, I think I'll go browse now...)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! This is my love letter to fandom and fangirls, and I'm always glad when someone recognizes that fandom and fangirls are AWESOME and BIZARRE.

O...M...G!!! This was hilarious!!!! So freaking funny. Absoluletly love how you captured the fans, cons and this fandom in general! Years later and every word still holds true.

I just found this from a rec on storyfinders. Besides loving how great Sandy appeared and of course the the boys sexin, my favorite parts are:

It's interesting, too, to watch the fangirls when they don't know he's watching, like experiencing a new culture. He's making a list of words to figure out later: ”otipi,” and “pixpam,” and “capping,” and “arpeayes.” He's especially curious about the meaning of “elljay,”, because it seems to be some kind of sign-countersign ritual.

The girls've done their passcode thing, and apparently both of them passed, because they're hugging and talking a mile a minute.
who the hell trades rodents anyway?

when he hears the unmistakable squeal of the Wild Fangirl Mating Call, .

"You—are the model to my artist, the samurai to my shogun, the dogsitter to my movie star, the nobody to my shadow." He gets even closer and touches his beer to the tip of Jensen's nose, his breath heavy with beer and salt, and Jensen freezes. "You, my friend, are the cop to my teacher." He leans back and wraps his lips around the mouth of the bottle, throat working as the condensation slides from glass to lip to chin and down over the side.

This was brillian! Absolutely LOVED it!!!!

Wow that was very good and funny. I felt like I was on crack, lol. I just could pictured Jared going all crazy about the stories on the net. lol. Good work.

Uh. So I have this friend from ST, whose name is pslasher, who is one of my most wonderful faithful cheerleaders in said fandom. She's a pan-fandom lurker, though, and in a recent post rec'd both my most recent ST story and, lo and behold, a J2 story by some crazy person named Lu. It's locked or i'd link you, but I laughed a thousand laughs to see our names there together; she had no idea we knew each other.

So I couldn't NOT come here and read this. And woman, oh woman, how I wish with my little heart of hearts that we could someday be in the same fandom again. Because you are most assuredly a genius; I can tell and I've never seen an ep of this show -- I don't even know which one is which, ngl to you, but this story was hilarious anyways. The Brad Pitt line, for example. And hot gorgeous sexytimes.

So, yeah. I'm so wasting my evening reading those recs, lol. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. I'M NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

♥

LOL THIS KEEPS HAPPENING TO PEOPLE I KNOW.

I'm so glad you liked it! I will always have a soft spot in my heart for these boys, and this version of these boys, you know?


(The Brad Pitt line is actually a reference to an interview in which Jensen said he jerks off to a poster of Brad Pitt. Oh, boys.)

*yay*

As someone who is very late to this fandom, this fic is just all sorts of awesome, loved it to bits ♥

Thanks so much for writing and sharing (and for the J2 for beginners list!) :D

OHMYGOD THIS FIC IS FUCKING FANTASTIC. <3 <3 <3

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

OMG, my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much. I loved this fic and I'm so glad I found it on j2_recs ! <333333333333

[steccer.livejournal.com]

This was so great! From your description of spn fandom to your depiction of Jensen and Jared's interactions, the entire story flowed really well (and made me laugh out loud more than once). It was a fun story to read.

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[sarahrah69.livejournal.com]

I absolutely loved this! I could actually relate to Jared when it came to "elljay" and "squeeing" and such, because I still use wiki all the time to figure out what stuff means. This was amazing and written perfectly and beautifully and I was enthralled. Fangirls are awesome!
Oh goodness and the song! that was amazing.
And Sandy was so sweet.

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[comet91.livejournal.com]

I laughed so hard during this that I nearly woke my kids up from their nap lol.

[straspberry.livejournal.com]

Definitely one of the BEST J2 fics out there! Thank you so much for writing and sharing! :D Even after all those years (omg, years) it's still so good to read it ♥

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it!

[locifan.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting this!

[applegeuse.livejournal.com]

Listened to juice817’s podfic of this. THIS WAS SUCH A FUN STORY. I enjoyed every second of it. It was so wonderfully paced from start to finish; it took Jared just absolutely enough time to be introduced to fandom, to start reading fic, to figure out his feelings, and then finally hook up with Jensen. I loved the laughter-and-stumble-filled sex scene. <3 I loved the way you made LJ seem so precise and coherent. <3 Is there anything about this fic I did not love? No! Thanks so much for writing it. :D One of my favorite parts may have been beer-happy Jared telling Jensen he wished they would’ve gone to college together, and then listing tons of AU-fic setups. ♥ Also, thanks for compiling a rec page full of all the fics you mention! I’ve read some of them, but not all, so what a find! And! And! I didn’t even know of the ballad’s existence, so now I feel like a knowledgeable insider.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG DO YOU KNOW HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE? YOU ARE FUCKING WONDERFUL -YES IM SCREAMING- MY GOD... EEEE! I LOVED THIS SO MUCH... SO MUCH. Now I'm all warm inside. ;D Im friending you.

[callajoy.livejournal.com]

Um...................

there are simply no words for this piece.... 300+ comments later and I'm pretty sure everything has been covered, so I'm just going to go with:

AWESOME to infinity

*red-faced with failure to articulate further*

So.... *waves helplessly, ruined for all other j2 fic* just, thanks. For making my life so TOTALLY better than it was before I read this. :)

*still looking lost, dazed, and wanting desperately to never leave this fic* I like to think of myself as someone who provides thoughtful, appreciative feedback, but you just blew me so far out of the park.... It's sort of weird feeling so speechless.

So, thanks again. And good job *trails off and goes back to read again*...

[josbedtimestory.livejournal.com]

WOAH!!!... It's just like.... yes! EVERYTHING! from the hiding behind a plant to the kiss in the end!! I LOVED THIS!
God I'm gonna rec the shit out of this on tumblr xD hahaha ;D <3
Much love and appreciation from me.. xoxo

[helen3616.livejournal.com]

I<3 this :D it's so incredibly awesome and perfect and wonderful.

[theone4fred.livejournal.com]

This was an awesome story!! Thanks for sharing it!

[reni-days.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, amazing oh my god. this is gorgeous. i love the meta breakdown - the way the fangirls are sorted by type and activity, the amused incomprehension at the fangirl language ("Adopt the astronaut bunny."), the sign-countersign exchanges, and jared's slow slide into madness. this is meta crack at its finest - i especially love the warm fondness that runs through the whole thing, as much a love letter to fandom as to the boys. charming in every way!

<33333333333333

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

You were supposed to read all the GOOD fics first!


(no, srsly: thank you. This is still one of the fics I'm proudest of, for all it was, like, four fandoms and six years ago for me.)

[idella]

I had such fun reading this (well, listening to it: I'm here via the podfic). Great story!

[vicki_rae.livejournal.com]

This is glorious and I love it.
