The news from the Samantha Ferris chat today, as gathered by shoiryu, is, and I quote, "in regard to fanfic: the SPN cast and crew read everything. Everything. Be afraid."

To wit: She tried to tell Jensen about Dean/Ellen, aaaand he already knew. And was AMUSED.

Ummm. Ummm. So I'm kind of bright red just THINKING about, you know, everything out there. I'm torn between being super duper amused or kinda horrified AHAHA.

(Skfjdfdl the WORST OF IT is that I was totally set to write this RPF porning AND NOW I JUST. CAN'T. Alkajsdlfj oh God.)

I think the "legal reasons" for no one reading the fanfiction would be that, if we knew they read it and one of the episodes follows a storyline similar to what someone wrote in a story already, they could, in theory, sue the show for having "stolen" their idea/plot from their fanfiction. Kind of petty, but we do live in a fairly litigious society.

I really hope nothing like that ever happens with SPN, because it would be fairly ridiculous (and honestly, with the sheer volume of fanfiction out there, it would be hard sometimes to not do a story that someone else has already done, right?) and also because that would make whoever actually decided to sue THE LAMEST LAMO THAT EVER DID LAME.
