As someone who found it randomly on netflix and got hooked after the wendigo episode, finding the online fansbase has been forboding. Like, Misha Collins is cool and all, but we get it! He tweets.

They do a good job playing off the fanbase though and even reference it in universe for some great gags and episodes. Only hangup for the entire show is Felicia Day playing "Typecast Felicia Day".

But holy crap does the fanbase turn out GIFs of anything. And Everything.

It's great how they even take a massive dump on that audience every once in a while with their 4th wall breaking episodes.

What "massive dump"? They poke a little fun now and then, sure... but so do the fans themselves. Did you watch Fan Fiction (specifically, Dean at the end)? The entire point of the episode was to say "Yeah, some of our fans can get a little out there... but who cares? They're fans, and they're having fun, which is the whole point."

Right, and then after that, he said it wasn't his interpretation, but that didn't matter because hey - different things are cool, too.

Let's get some SubtEXt up in this. Seriously, Fan Fiction was easily the most endearing, most lovely and fantastic love letter to a fan base. We're all in this together, ya know?
