recs sought; Sentinel musings
Mar. 28th, 2007 09:59 pmI know this is the lazy option, but I throw myself upon the mercy and good taste of my friendslist.
I like SPN RPS, but haven't actually read much, so recs, pretty please? I love me some J2, but am open to other possibilities. Pimp your own, rec me authors, link me to rec lists - anything is much appreciated :)

I've been reading and re-reading stuff from a bunch of fandoms lately, and the difference in predominant style/tone can be really striking at times (and not just cause of the difference between source materials - just fannish trends).
So I was pondering - if The Sentinel was a current show today, how do you think the fandom would differ? I suspect it'd get a bit of an RPS contingent, more incestfic and more stories where Jim and Blair actually turn into their spirit animals (and probably fuck). Sadly, for the show to exist these days, Blair would either be the girl I first thought the character was (after reading a newspaper review of the show), or they'd be brothers. Oh those wacky Nineties - simpler days when two men could live together for 4 seasons and not one someone-wackily-assumes-they're-gay moment.
