Fiending for more SPN meta? I got you covered. Here’s a list of fellow meta writers whom I follow on Tumblr, along with a general list of what they tend to write about. NB: I don’t necessarily agree with everything they all write – in fact sometimes I vehemently disagree – and some can be polemic and harsh. ‘Course, anyone who knows much about me can rightly guess that those are things I dig.
“Technical” encompasses the technical aspects of the show: cinematography, narrative structure, directing, scripts, parallels, genre, set dressing, all that good stuff, ie all my favourite things.
I’ll update this periodically as I find more folks & essays to recommend.
