*raises eyebrow*

Now I'm really curious. If it's Wincest, that's not exactly rare, and if it's anything else, the picture doesn't help.

sa

Doesn't help me figure out what the rarepair is, I mean.

The pic is from Tall Tales, which is the first episode with Gabriel, so my guess is it would be a pairing involving him.

Probably Dean/Gabriel versus Sam/Gabriel, then. While Sam/Gabriel isn't quite on the realms of Wincest or Dean/Castiel, and has been slower since Hammer of the Gods, it is pretty popular.

Since the pic is from Tall Tales, I'm going to take a wild guess that the rarepair you write for is either Sam/Gabe or Dean/Gabe? I'm more inclined to say Dean/Gabe since Sam/Gabe isn't exactly a rarepair, though. I keep trying to decide exactly what would be considered a rival ship for either of those, too, and I keep coming up with nothing...

Either way, I say keep writing. Both of those pairings deserve more fic.

Would the rival ship be Destiel?

Maybe if it's Dean/Gabe? Sam/Gabriel is usually bg in a lot of Destiel fics, so I'd consider them more complimentary than anything. I've kind of always considered the rival ship for Destiel to be Wincest, though, just because there are quite a few shippers in those ships that can be pretty passionate about how much they hate the other ship.

Then again, maybe I'm totally wrong and the ship in question is Gabe/Bobby and the rival ship they hate is Gabe/Crowley or Crobby. Lol.

Crobby.

Bwahaha, oh my God. Do people use that? Please tell me people actually call it that.

Dean/Gabe was my first thought. Rival pairing might actually be Sam/Gabe? No idea either way. I just know I like both pairings :D

That seems to make the most sense. I like Dean/Gabe, but I've never actually thought about it having a rival pairing. Then again, I tend to think of rival pairings as pairings wherein the shippers wank at each other a lot and are pretty vocal about how much they hate the other pairing because said pairing isn't as awesome or ~almost canon~ as their pairing, and I don't think I've ever seen that with Dean/Gabe. But it is a pretty tiny ship, so maybe I've been too busy being amazed when it shows up and I've somehow missed all that. Lol.

If Sam/Gabriel is a rarepair I'll eat my hat, most people who ship Dean/Castiel like Sam/Gabriel and I see it everywhere on Tumblr.

So if it's Dean/Gabriel, is the ship you dislike Dean/Castiel, Sam/Gabriel, or both?

(Sam/Gabriel is a very odd ship for me in that I'm charmed by a lot of the fanworks available, it's a lot of fun, but objectively speaking, from the canonical material, it makes only marginally more sense than the secondary mutations in secret #4 and has less empirical evidence.)

Sam/Gabriel shippers have been pretty unkind to the Dean/Gabriel shippers in the past - at least where I hang out :/

You get points for connecting this secret to number four. XD

Yeah, I didn't really think it was Sam/Gabe, but it was one of the first things to cross my mind given the episode in question.

...are you wearing a hat? Aren't you inside?

Just because I'm inside, doesn't mean I didn't wear a hat to come here.

So you're a Dean/Gabriel fan then? And the rival ship is Sam/Gabriel? If so, you're not alone. I love Dean/Gabriel and...well, mostly I just don't understand where the Sam/Gabriel shippers are coming from. Either way, the pairing is so hard to find I've basically given up looking. *sigh*

...You know, writing something because you hate the rival ship is generally a pretty shitty reason to write. If for no other reason that it smacks of 'DOWN WITH THAT SHIP!' [in the corners of fandom I hang out in anyways.]

/shrug. It's not like I start wank or bash the ship in my fics. It's productive hate, at least.

It is kind of crappy, I agree, but if they're not blasting the other pairing in their fic or author's notes, most people probably won't even know that's the reason they write it. It seems more healthy than going after people who ship the other pairing and being jerks to them.

...Y'know, I read quite a few Dean/Gabriel fics back in my day (a few months ago). Now I'm going to be wondering who OP is, and if I'd read any of their fics.

I should probably say that writing a ship just because you hate a rival ship is bad, but I suspect that a significant percentage of my fandom likes are out of spite, so I'll live and let live.

Probably not, I just started participating about a month ago.

Dammit, I just want more Debriel in the fandom, no matter what.

...And Michael/Dean. Just because.
