I'm pretty sure you thanked me for the dvds, no worries:)
You know what, this is my 2nd active show fandom and I think I see what you're talking about. What if the show gets cancelled before it has a proper ending? And the wank that goes with people not knowing where it's going next, and them (and me) not liking some of the possibilities of what goes on with their favorites - I'd never even thought about it until it was too late. And here it is, too late:)
Re: the incest, it seems I have no problem with it in the fanfic - my brain readily disengages it from reality with no real effort on my part. It almost seems another trope to me to ring angst out of their situation (and I totally don't mean to lessen the actual impact/damage of incest in real life by saying that, honest - I'm talking about it as being one of those controversial places fandom goes to, and that we as fans and individuals figure we can or cannot go to - if that makes sense). Though I notice I have some trouble disengaging from it in fanfic where one person is significantly older than the other. But anyway...
One of my best friends reads Dean/Castiel, but she said she hasn't found any that she's totally in love with yet. Will definitely let you know if she finds some she loves.
I'm not very active in fandom, either, but I enjoy reading and staying on the outskirts of it. I have two kids, girls age 8 and 11, and I know how it goes.
