raloriaBeen reading through some old SPN fanfics that I've got printed out and found one that's going straight into the recycle bin.
I sometimes wonder how much people know the show before they start writing these things? The Impala is not a manual transmission. You ever seen Dean shifting gears all the time while driving? Nope, 'cause it's an automatic. And the boys don't stay in hotels. They don't have to use a key card to get into any room. The places they stay at are old, run down, and use old fashioned keys in the door locks.
*sigh*
On top of that the characterizations were off a bit. Sam telling Dean to "Shut the cake-hole, that's an order"? Uh, I don't think so. The other way around I would buy, but not coming from Sam. I don't care how out of it he is after "Mystery Spot".
I couldn't even finish reading the thing by this point. I'm done. Out it goes.
Sorry, just had to rant a bit there.
