Fic: "The Haircut" and "The Winchester Boys"

Title: The Haircut
Word Count: 495
Genre: Gen
Rating: G
A/N: Written for my comment-fic meme, the prompt was from mymuseandi , who wanted Dean to give Sam a haircut to save money. It was up to me whether the haircut was good or not.

Summary: When you can't afford a hairdresser, your brother will have to do...

( Sam watched as Dean squinted at him and unconsciously pressed his tongue to the side of his mouth in concentration. It was doing nothing for Sam’s nerves. )

Title: The Winchester Boys
Word Count: 500
Genre: Gen
Rating: G
Summary: Written for my comment-fic meme, this request was from yourkidney , who wanted the boys to go shopping at Goodwill and then out for coffee - where Dean would read Gaiman and Sam would read National Geographic.


( 'Orange, man? Really?' Dean said. 'I know you like plaid, but please remember that I’m the one that has to look at you.' )

Oh look, a can of worms!

I've had debates on this journal before about misogyny in Supernatural (and horror in general), and I'm not really asking for another one...but I thought I would point out that Joey Comeau has a great blog-post up at his horror-movie review blog: into survival. 

Is there a place for rape in horror? The Hills Have Eyes 2006

In it he contrasts the rape scene in The Hills Have Eyes remake (which he hated) to the rape scene in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (which he thought was well done). I think he makes some great points personally, though I'm biased because he seems to share my own opinions.

Anyway, I just thought I'd point anyone interested over to it. You don't have to agree, but it's food for thought. I'm also not saying that this excuses those scenes in Supernatural that some of my flist objected to - as Joey implies, whether it is handle correctly can sometimes be very subjective.

There are also interesting comments (including responses from Joey) in the comments section of the blog.
