Hmm... well, there are advantages to being part of the big ships... more fanworks, more people to squee with, less likely to get jumped on and screamed at for doing it wrong.

That being said, you're right. Everyone should just ship or not ship what they like without having to worry about that stuff.

It would be nice to have all that fic and art though...

There's also nothing wrong with having your cake and eating it, too. I don't ship either of the 'big' pairings in Supernatural - S/D and D/C - but I've read loads of fanfic for both of them because there are so many good writers producing stuff.

(For my actual preferred pairings - Dean/Bela and Cas/Anna - I'll take what I can get, even though the lack of sheer volume means there are fewer real gems.)

The only time this method falls through is when I dislike a character in the pairing; then I usually can't enjoy it at all. But as long as I like both characters as individuals, them being together doesn't bother me even if I don't ship them.

I doubt you are still reading this thread, as I'm here way late, but in case you track it or something...

For my actual preferred pairings - Dean/Bela and Cas/Anna - I'll take what I can get, even though the lack of sheer volume means there are fewer real gems.

Do you have any recs for those gems? Especially Bela ones? I like the potential in her character, but obviously haven't found much in fandom.

Happily :)

My favorite Dean/Bela fic is 'Last Watch of Hero'; author doesn't keep a masterlist, so links to all chapters:

6: http://yesterday4.livejournal.com/167588.html
7: http://yesterday4.livejournal.com/184400.html

It's unfinished, but still good enough that I go back to read it again and again.

'Disobliging Ways': http://caffienekitty.livejournal.com/34637.html
Bela crackfic, very good - as this author always is.

'Be Gone With It': http://lazy-daze.livejournal.com/432620.html
Sam/Dean/Bela PWP.

Bellatemple has at least a couple full-cast crackfics that have Bela in a major role; check out 'Kiss Me, Son of God' and 'Siriusly' on her masterlist: http://bellatemple.livejournal.com/193140.html

For Anna, I highly recommend these three; nothing blatantly shippy between Cas and Anna, but an amazing view of their relationship none the less:

''Scuse Me While I Kiss The Sky': http://misachan.dreamwidth.org/146375.html
Cas/Anna in the Croatverse.

Witness: 'http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4678933/1/Witness'
What Anna went through when she started hearing the angels; technically D/C at the end, but the primary focus is on her.

And as a bonus, how about some Bela/Anna?

'On Sleepless Roads The Sleepless Go': http://scorpiod1.livejournal.com/28063.html

Thank you so much! I've read the crack fics, but I look forward to the rest. :D
