Thankfulness: November 17, 2008

Today I'm thankful for the effect of YouTube and the internet on fandom. Not only did I not have wait and then search far and wide to find out what Jared and Jensen did at Creation con this weekend. No, I only had to follow links around and I could watch them myself (or part of them anyway; the person whose videos I was watching hadn't uploaded all of them) today. They're not quite as cute as previous ones. I think I need to just wait for the short little clips that show the cute bits instead of watching the entirety of each panel.

We talked about SPN wank while sitting in a coffee shop in Minneapolis yesterday. I'm so glad I'm not in that fandom.

Really? I don't really know anything about the wank. I mostly just watch the show, read some fic, and talk about it with norwich36.

Apparently one of them really attracts the crazies and is afraid of fans? Or something.

That has to be Jensen. He's pretty shy (there's a hilarious story out there that I can find again if you're interested about some girl who knew him in high school and he had a thing for her and literally never said a word to her, even when she asked him a direct question) and doesn't talk about himself much. He also has had some interesting fan encounters, such as the woman who showed up in a wedding dress and insisted they were married. Also, someone apparently jumped off a staircase and onto him. (Although the fangirl I heard being inappropriate on the YouTube clips was talking to Jared.)

Or even if you weren't interested. I had intended to dig the link out of my email, but found it instead under the shy!jensen tag on delicious:
Jensen Ackles : yes, he's always been like that.
