It is pretty hard to write Cas canon because there are a lot of lines that fandom sort of hung onto (aka "the voice is telling me I'm running out of minutes" or the "gripped you tight and raised you from perdition" line) and I feel like that has sort of influenced his fanon characterization, if that makes sense? So seeing a lot of that makes it hard to tell what's canon vs. fanon. Also, if you're not pretty strictly within the fanon guidelines, some of which leads you toward a parody!Cas, people are going to call OOC.
On the other hand, when you're writing porn it's pretty obviously not canon, so in some ways, you get a ~free pass on some parts of his characterization. Writing porn puts you in a totally different place with the dynamic of the characters, also, and I think that may be a part of it as well. I find the dynamic between everyone on Supernatural so hard to get right because it's very elaborate and romantic while not being straight-up romantic. How you write the characters' interactions also affects their characterization, so pornin' it up makes that bit easier to deal with, in my opinion. Also, he does come out with all that shit like "I gave everything up for you Dean" that makes the porn seem like not much of a stretch.
oh god I just wrote a mini-essay on why writing Cas in porn is easier than in gen fic; what is my life. D:
