First: The necklaces came yesterday, and they are beautiful! I can't wait to wear them!
Second--I don't know the discussions about m/m appropriation and female characters, but I agree that the creative production in SPN is kind of staggering (if anything, I think Wincest might be slowing down, rather than gen, but that's purely an impression). Sam and Dean are a perfect fic set up, though--they are kind of reactive characters to begin with, so you can plop them down anywhere and do what you like (ie, Camelot), BUT, they come with an amazing, equally portable, set of psychological issues, that can lend narrative/character structure to just about anything.
Haven't seen 5.12 yet--may try to stream it in a bit--
