fandoms and shipping

agentfreewill:

I’ve fallen sideways into an awareness of Sterek (Teen Solf) shipping.  I blame fozmeadows who wrote such good Destiel that when she started writing Sterek too I had to read it (muttering under my breath about how I didn’t have time for multi-fandom, STAP).  

I don’t consider myself in the TW fandom in quite the same way that I’m IN the SPN fandom.  I have watched the show, maybe one in every 100 or 200 gif sets on my dash is TW, and recently I started reading Sterek fics.  But.  One thing that really stands out, coming as I do seeped in SPN fandom dynamics, is the actors’ attitudes and comfort level.

The two actors for the Sterek ship (Tyler Hoechlin and Dylan O’Brien) have been supportive and willing to talk about the ship from the beginning.  I’m just going to throw out a handful of examples.  Which for us SPN folks will be… very different from the reality we are accustomed to.

1. Con report

One of my mutuals (and another dealer of Sterek fic) went to ECCC and got to talk to Tyler and her report had this sentence:

I was extremely nervous about bringing up fic, so I immediately reassured him that I wasn’t going to ask him about shipping - and he laughed and GRABBED MY HAND and said “oh I don’t mind that at all.”

I mean, can you imagine?
