Firstly, disclaimer: this is not a mocking or wank-emulating post. Let me say from the outset (if you're not already familiar with my LJ) that when I say 'I love this stuff', I'm not being sarcastic - I really do love the out-there shit that fandom does. I absolutely adore it. I can't express how much glee and joy it gives me, unless that expression is a career plotted as a fan scholar in order to record and celebrate this kind of awesomeness.
And I'm not singling these kinds of 'unusual' plots as a quality judgement. I'm serious when I'm saying I'm not mocking them. I'm not suggesting that people *not* write these kinds of stories, dear god NO! they're a hugely important ingredient in the giant fandom mixing pot, I believe, and though they taste different to other kinds or styles or genres of stories, it doesn't mean they're not an important component of the recipe for a delicious meal. Fandom experience. thing. Yaknow? even if you prefer anchovies to capers, or bacon to tofu.
People get joy from writing these (why else do people write?). Other people get joy from reading them. Not everyone does, and not everyone's joy is the same. But those are not reasons for people - for anyone to stop writing. They're reasons to *keep* writing.
But anyway. I'm sure at least half of you can tell what thread of discussion (and outrage) I've been reading over the flist in the last couple of days :)
All that said, here are my top favourite cracked-out SPN fic scenarios. These are the ones I tell all my friends about to demonstrate how crazy-awesome fan brains are, and how permissable the Supernatural canon (and the fandom environment) really is. I'm typing this in my breaks at work, so possibly I'll look up the actual story URLs at some later date. Feel free to share your own favourites in the comments!
1. Sam and Dean are MFEO. Dean understands this from a young age, and resolves to 'save himself' for Sam (so to speak). Taking pity upon poor sexually-denied adolescent!Dean, Future!DeanandSam send Sam back in time to deflower a recently of-age!Dean, while underage!Sammy plays in the next room.

2. Sam is possessed by the demon, and subsequently impregnates Dean with his demon seed!
http://isolde13.livejournal.com/121704.html
3. A curse reverts Dean back to his seven-year-old state (mind and body). Sam has to care for him, and in failing to find a 'cure', settle down and raise him.
(http://janissa11.livejournal.com/tag/under+a+haystack)
4. Dean does a deal with the devil that results in his eternal torment and Sam's eternally reincarnated existence in an alternate, post-apocalyptic version of the world populated by recycled versions of anyone Dean's ever met, a world in which the balance between evil and human is more material as the tally has started from scratch. Sam, accompanied by a replicated version of Dean that isn't actually Dean but an amalgam and creation as much as the world is, spends a few centuries figuring out how to make a deal of his own. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maygra, just let me know when you'd like to impregnate me with *your* demon seed, okay? I'll wait for youuuuu! er, if you ever forgive me for that incredibly simplistic and thus innacurate summary.)

5. Sam, during the course of hunting down the demon that killed Dean and John with a giant truck, sidesteps into a portal to a parallell universe where he meets Dean, whose father sacrificed himself to vanquish the demon who killed Mary, Jess and Sam. (sex ensues.)

6. In 1986, John Winchester doesn't come back from a hunt. His children, discovered unattended in the hotel room, are taken by the state, separated and adopted out/put into foster care. 16 years later, they happen to meet and it's love at first sight.

but what was that I was saying about collective consciousness in the SPN fandom? I was thinking along those lines before I read #6, too :D
no subject
And
everybodyanybody who googled up incest, and came across 'weimarck effect', and 'GSA' probably leapt to the conclusion that - oooooooh. So that'd definitely make them hot for each other.o_O
Or uh, at least I did...

But, well, #7. It's only a matter of time before #7 is CANON, so why that's on your CRACK list I just don't understand. *huffY*
no subject
Well, you'll have to forgive me for not making myself clear enough: this post is also a celebration of how easy it is to write crack in the SPN fandom because crack is pretty much canonical.
also, thanks for getting your icon there stuck in my head this morning. really. ;P

#2 Seeds of Vengeance - http://isolde13.livejournal.com/121704.html
I love that there aren't really so many 'rentboy AU's' as such, because it's generally... a little too plausible to be 'AU'.
o_O
(loves my fandom)

yeah, when I was compiling my recs list it was really hard to decide which ones went into the 'crack and AU' section! it's nuts. HEART.

Besides, yaks and demon seed. What's not to like?

Nothing! my point exactly :D

Stories? As in more then that one?
Man, I want to add my own here now but I am running a blank. Dude. Uncool.

I love fandom.

Seriously man. Yakfucking. How can you not love a fandom that has yakfucking?

Being only on the edge on this fandom is proving insufficient to take all the (love!) madness all in. *wants*

False Comforts (story or series)
Next!
So apparently Dean killed somebody’s sister. And, much like the Winchesters, shapeshifters like to get mad and get even. Their strength in numbers and handy conduit into Sam’s sense of reality, not to mention that little I-can-look-like-anyone,-even-your-brother! thing leads to considerable nastiness, and eventually drives out the Winchester’s Own strength in numbers – 2. Abject fluids abound, some good, some bad; some usually good but bad here. Sam gets used to the taste of his own blood. Dean gets used to the taste of Sam’s blood. It’s all the same in the end, and that’s how they know who’s who.

Although, I dunno...you make it sound more interesting than it actually is *g*

crackjournal while poking around LJ. I am utterly awed by how your critical analysis of SPN manages to make it sound like the most intellectual show ever written for TV. Additionally, Firefly + Supernatural fangirling == I can't not friend this person, it goes against the laws of the universe! I hope you don't mind. XDno subject
Hee, of course I don't mind. Enjoy the
crack!
