Coming Out of Hiding
This is my first post. I've had my Livejournal account for a little over a year, but was too shy to post. I have finally decided to come out of hiding. The TV show Supernatural is what led me here. It's the only show i watch regularly. I love my Winchester men.
Even though I have watched every episode of Supernatural since the pilot, I didn't realize until last year what a presence it had on the internet. That changed one fateful day, a little over a year ago, when I was reading on a Supernatural message board, and someone posted a link to a story. I clicked and discovered a whole new world. One I really liked.
I learned about Wincest--a term which made me laugh and marvel at what a clever term it was. While I'm not bothered by the incest angle to some stories (maybe because I'm an only child?), I find I prefer J2. They get to be a bit less serious since they're not constantly fighting against evil. But I still love a good Sam/Dean story too.
I've read some great fics (which is what prompted me to sign up in the first place) over the last 12 1/2 months, but I was too shy to leave feedback. I was worried that I'd accidentally say or do the wrong thing, not being familiar with Livejournal protocol. But, I figure, I'll never learn if I stay hidden in the shadows. I want to give back to the authors who have given to me. Even if it's just a measly comment.
I also discovered the Supernatural Conventions while traipsing around fandom. I will be attending my first convention in October 2010 in Chicago. I'm going by myself, so it's a little scary. Hopefully, I'll make a friend or two. I wish they would list a tentative schedule, so I have some idea of what to expect. For example, what time do the days generally start, etc.? Hopefully, someone will fill me in soon.
Just one last thing before I end my first post. While I adore Jared, and believe he has every right to get married, did he have to do it on my birthday? Really? Ouch. LOL!
