I continue to deal with my brain through marathoning pretty much every televison show ever, a mishmash of older and newer shows, some of which I've seen before and many I have not. It's like fannish input mode on methamphetamines and doesn't appear to be slowing down at all. And somehow in the middle of the glut, it is still Supernatural that is winning the obsessive day.

Despite having finished my marathon rewatch of the entire series and catching up on the current season (and *staying* caught up, which is a miracle in itself), and being engaged in watching great big whacking chunks of a ton of other stuff I...I don't even know, man. In between other stuff I'm going back and rewatching (again) favorite episodes and arcs nearly every day. I'm reading fic, loads and loads of it, which I haven't really done since Torchwood imploded. I even deliberately went looking for discussion and meta and fannish stuff to lurk over in the wider wilds of fandom beyond (this last was...actually a bad idea. I forgot how mean and vicious and TO THE DEATH fandom can get over factions and ships. Fuck that). I really have no idea why this particular show is hitting my id so hard right now, especially given all the reasons it's never been more than a casual show to me since the beginning. But IT IS. I suspect once the All Input, All the Time phase passes at some point in the future there is SPN fannish output in my future. Which, given how long it's been around and how many people have made and continue to make amazing thing/talked about it in amazing ways, will be sort of redundant and pointless, but whatevs. THE HEART WANTS WHAT THE HEART WANTS.

I had that weirdly intense ZOMG SPN!!! fic-devouring response all throughout s7. Which worked out well for me, because I really hadn't touched SPN fic much before then, so there was a giant pile of really good stuff that I'd never seen before. If you need recs... (Although most of my recs would be Dean/Cas, so, fair warning. :)

:D! Never redundant! NEVER POINTLESS.

Dean/Cas along with gen brotherfic (I love the relationship between Seam and Dean *intensely* but I can't go to the incest place, so I stick with gen on that score) is mostly what I read, though I would also read all kinda gen character/relationship studies for *most* of the recurring (and many one off) characters, if I knew where to find the good stuff, because I just wanna waaaaaaaaaaaaalow. :D :D

Have you read Tin Soldier? It's a casefic, and one of my favourites. (From one of my very favourite authors, who sadly no longer writes SPN. If you haven't run across them before, check out their masterlist for other good stuff.)

The non-strident meta *is* kind of hard to find. Because "strident" is kind of a defining characteristic of SPN fandom I mean what *cough* I said nothing. The SPN Meta Tumblr is decent enough at aggregating all kinds: there's 'shippery stuff, because it's impossible to get away from entirely, but there's also plot theories and so forth. Might take some scrolling, but there is good stuff to be wallowed in. :)
