Supernatural Gossip???
Mar. 14th, 2010 02:14 pm I am not really well versed in Livejournal, but I have question that I think is dumb (or too dumb to post at any communities with which I am familiar without getting massively yelled at).
How do I find other fans of Supernatural and/or Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki who have reasonable discussions about the show and the actors? I have friended fiction writers who I found by reading fanfic. I love talking about and commenting on good stories. But if I wanted to talk about things besides fiction, how do you find people also interested in this? I think I am a relatively mainstream fan who will never go to a convention (but love hearing about them), has no real preconceived ideas about the actors as human beings--except for them being good Texas boys ;), do not know what their relationship is with each other but think they are adorable together, and just want to find some people to discuss this stuff with. And, yes sometimes I want to discuss/speculate about the actors and their relationships, but not in the dogmatic way I see on open forum communities.
I read various SPN communities and find the gossip interesting, but since I have no ironclad agenda, I am often frustrated by the people who are so insistent that their version of the gossip is absolutely correct. I will admit to a bit of wishful thinking that there may be some relationship between the boys, but mostly I am a fan who likes to hear stories about what is going on on the set of my fave show and what (that is OK for public consumption) is going on with the actors on that show. I want to have interesting discussions about gossip with other intelligent fans and I know that there are groups of people who are also interested in these things, but have no real idea how to find them.
So...any suggestions? I have been trying to figure out how to find some equally interested like-minded people for a while, so now I am reduced to begging for help. And I am also wincing at how fangirly this sounds, but am frustrated enough with my poor searching skills to just go ahead and post it.
