You know, I also think that Sam and Dean would have had a lot less suspicion with professors and researches and even doctors if they pretended to be writers.
Not journalists or other professionals. Like, when they go to the local college to talk to the professor about mythology, they don’t go, “yeah, I’m writing a research paper,” or “I’m just interested in local lore.”
They’d immediately get a fond eye-roll and a LOT more information without suspicion if they went, “yeah, I’m writing this urban fantasy. How do kill this kind of monster?” They could also TOTALLY be more specific to their case. “Yeah, so the hero(ine) ends up in this warehouse infested with (whatever). How would they get rid of it?”
So, @jupiterjames, ya mind if I borrow this idea? Because I freaking love it!
This is AWESOME! 😀
