There is a lot of spam. A lot of "me too" posts or silly comments on entries, too. I think some of it is because Supernatural seems to be a young fandom. Young, because the show is only in mid-season two, and young because the characters are fairly young, so it does attract many younger viewers, and this is their first (or maybe second) fandom. And they do have more time on their hands than people with jobs and family responsibilties and bills and other later-life concerns.

It seems to make for a lot of repetition.

I don't even look at icons anymore, I only read fics that look interesting, and it's still hard to keep up! My pet peeve is the amount of cross-posting of fics on different communities though. I hate having six of my 20 entries per page being the same fic. Oh well.
