I'm sure I only have one Supernatural writer on my flist, and I'm sure she knows I don't mean her. I have been reading some J2 fic, because there is no way I can write Wincest. I have been for a while now. I know I can't really say too much about characterisation because it is not like using fictional characters from a show, where we get a good picture of them if we have been watching. The actors are more of a closed book, no matter how open they appear, it is all still a side of themselves on display to the public.
For example, James Marsters seems quite an open guy, but he jealously protects his family from any sort of media publicity. While he will promote himself, his family are very much kept from the glare.
So anyway, where am I going with this, and where does J2 fit in. Ok, so the discriptions of Jared are normally ok, but Jensen seems like just a generic good looking guy! It is not him I see from these discriptions, but a guy I went to university with. Yeah, ok I admit the guy I went to university with is still the best looking guy I have ever seen anywhere, but I am not supposed to be reading Jared Padalecki and Chris (surname withheld).
Jensen just hasn't got an individual character that people are using to hang on him it seems. Could almost be any good looking guy!
