Because this one by itself doesn't seem like it deserves it's own thread: 9.23 has a title.

I'll just link, in case there are spoilerphobes on mobile devices for whom a spoiler cut wouldn't work.

For some reason that title is giving me flashbacks to that awful Doctor Who finale where everyone believes in the Doctor. What if we have some cheesey thing where people and angels can take the power away from Metatron and ~~write their own stories~~ to the accompaniment of inspiring music?

I don't really know where this season is headed, but I can't think of how that finale title meshes with anything I can imagine. Truth be told, all I really want is for Sam and Dean to make up. And I suppose Dean actually wrapping his mind around the situation would be a miracle so...

The miracle isn't the making up, it's the making out.

Here's a web thing that charts IMDB's episode ratings for TV shows and gives you trendlines that indicate the general upward or downward tendency of a season or the entirety of a show.

Here's Supernatural's:

Much flatter overall than I expected.

Look at all those stinker dots in Crappy Carver's seasons.

Although there are less people signed up so far, there are a surprising amount of non-wincest or J2!

Some really interesting non-major pairings cropping up, too, which I'm into. And some femslash, which I'm even MORE into.

I've seen it advertised on Tumblr a lot recently - maybe that's where the non J2 stuff's coming from?

Re: spnspringfling anonymous March 27 2014, 14:57:48 UTC
I was wondering about that. A nonnie in the last post mentioned they were spreading it around.

Re: spnspringfling anonymous March 27 2014, 14:58:13 UTC
It's always been an exchange quite friendly to rarepairs. I think unfortunately the end product fics often have less variety than the sign-ups, since it's harder to match with a whole bunch of options that have a very small set of people wanting/willing to do them, so people end up falling back on the safety juggernaut. But I see several people not even asking for J2 or S/D or D/C as one of their options, so we should get even more non-standard things this time around.

(I followed this to its source, but there must be notes and an explanation of what it is and things? But I'm not seeing them. /can't Tumbl)

Bela, on her last night. Art, SFW. I love the shadow hallucination effect.

Some layouts hide the tags and/or notes. I actually think it was probably original art that got interpreted as Bela art. But anyways, it's a lovely piece and fitting regardless!

What other nonnie said, this looks like it's original illustration.

Re: Fanworks Recently Consumed anonymous March 27 2014, 18:59:09 UTC
Like the other nonnies said it appears to be an original illustration. It's tagged as Dr. Suess and Oh The Places You Will Go. But I'm not sure how that applies to the picture either.

Wow... kind of a shock. That was my go-to place when I first got into fandom, back when Spn first aired. I spent many hours there, reading comments seconds after episodes aired. Good times.

Same, this site really kicked off my fandom involvement. Haven't looked at the SPN forum since S4 (yes, spot the Sam girl) but I'll miss the others.

I started a thread about this here: http://spnanonhaven.livejournal.com/32360.html?thread=157665384#t157665384

Though I think it deserves its own thread, really. Generally, I think meme might be more lively if more things got their own thread rather than getting buried in generic catch-all threads.

I wonder if there's somewhere we could email to urge the parent company to keep the archives publically viewable? I hate the idea of all that text being lost forever.

I never visited that place but I know it was important for old fandoms.
