Summary: A survey of (mostly S3) SPN fandom: Some wank, some politics, and a ton of awe-inspiring GENIUS.

Betas: Thanks to giandujakiss for her extensive beta work way beyond the call of duty, todanegen for her very helpful beta sugestions and encouragement andmarinarusalka for her very responsive and very nerve-soothing beta and torheanna27 for braving this armed with little knowledge of SPN and coming out the other side with very helpful feedback. All remaining mistakes or muddled messages are mine.

ETA 3/2010:  humbled to have an entire article written about Still Alive, "I'm glad we got burned, think of all the things we learned": Fandom conflict and context in Counteragent's "Still Alive" ,by Katharina Freund in the TWC issue on SPN.

Comments are more awesome than Dean.

Vidder's Notes

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all the amazing, talented fic writers, vidders, and artists in the SPN fandom.
You never fail to amaze and inspire me.
I was seduced into SPN fandom, but not by the boys. The irresistable lure? The talent here!
