Even being in the huge, warped fandom that is Supernatural, I agree with you. I don't really *want* to exist. I cringed when "The Monster at the End of this Book" aired because while a lot of fans rejoiced that we were out there and proud, I wanted to hide fandom away. I don't mind being acknowledged from time to time since we're still a large part of the show's viewers, but I certainly don't feel any sort of entitlement. Rather, I want to keep the fact that I write slash of the characters and actors a secret from the people involved with the show.
Seriously, SPN fandom is messed up. Especially the more public side, a.k.a. Batshit!Fandom.
