‘The Good Wife’ season 4: Boss explains ‘Vampire Diaries’ fanfiction surprise
So how did the decision come about for the CBS series to pay homage to something on their sister station in The CW? Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Robert King explained that it was just a situation where the cards really lined up for them to do show off something new with the Diane character:
“We obviously wanted something that seemed ludicrous and out-of-character for Diane to be doing.”
What’s also interesting here is that King reportedly also considered having the show in question here be “Sons of Anarchy” (which seems to be even more out of character for Diane), or “Supernatural” slash fiction featuring Sam and Dean, which certainly would have been hilarious and quite possibly even more based in popular fanfiction culture online.
King said that his relationship with Kevin Williamson also facilitated the decision, since he felt it would be a nice homage.
What did you think about this moment: funny, or unnecessary? If you want to read some more recent “Good Wife” season 4 scoop, you can do so over here.

That is brilliant and hilarious! And quite likely a wake-up call to all the perfectly respectable people out there who write fanfiction as a very secret hobby. It’s like getting caught passing notes to your best friend in 7th grade, and the teacher reading it out loud to the class.
