Hey SPN fandom... where are you?

[starrylizard]

I'm wandering through all the SPN communities I'm a member of and I'm saddened to find they are almost all dead. There's just crickets and the echo of happier days. (Though I am happy they're still up as an archive.)

Can anyone point me to where SPN fandom is still alive? Has it moved to Dreamwidth? Is it hiding in a few communities I am not a member of or haven't flittered into yet? In particular are there any:
- writing communities open to fact-finding or collating of information for SPN writers,
- general discussion communities,
- busy fic communities?

I'm almost regretting popping in. It's like the party is over and I'm sitting here eating the cake alone. It's very good cake though. :(

SPN people come friend me. :P

(Me: I'm mostly a gen girl, but I don't mind mixed communities and I will read the odd bit of het and slash. I don't do the Wincest/J2 thing, but it won't stop me talking to you if you don't mind that I don't go there. I'm currently re-watching my DVDs. Just hit Season 4!)

Hi! Popping over from ash48's journal. I know how you feel... I've been in this fandom for about a year and a half, and it feels like stepping into a magical city, everything preserved and gorgeous, art and technology like nowhere you've seen before, but not a soul.

Anyhow, hi! *waves* Welcome back! I'm very much into Wincest, and I like J2, though I also like gen and Cas/Sam, and try to cheer on friends' likes, ships, kinks, tropes, cause fandom is awesome and I love that people love different things in it. I feel strongly about gender/queer issues and write about that too, (some people don't appreciate that, so fair warning), and I write personal stuff, which I try to only share with people who want to read it. If it sounds like you might want to be friends, let's!

Yes exactly! That!

I think a lot of my flist and real life friends) fell out of love and got all negative about SPN and then I just lost my SPN!buzz. I'm hoping I can find it again. Find that small vibrant corner that interests me and makes me laugh and cry (in a good way) again.

I didn't know there was a Cas/Sam part of fandom. Can't say I've ever seen that pairing, though it would make sense for it to be out there. Cool! And gender/queer issues are not a problem. That's great in fact! Actually I learnt all about sexual preferences and that being okay from LJ friends and fic. I was raised in a rather "closed" environment on the topic. I have changed in so many ways since I moved out of home and LJ had a big part in some of my mental gears shifting and my world opening up (can't believe I opened my LJ over 8 years ago!). :)

Also I notice you podfic. I must pull out my mic again one of these days and read some fanfiction aloud. It always makes me happy. I'm also podlizzie out there in the ether. *waves a hand*

Thanks for saying hi! I've friended. If we don't hit it off, always feel free to de-friend. :)

I really hope you can find your SPN!Buzz gain, and people to enjoy it with!

Aww... <3
I learned so much from fic, too! So many of my kinks, likes and dislikes, so many interesting things to try :)

Aw, yay! Yes! Podfic! There are some great podficing projects and communities, if you're interested. I'm really not an expert, and you may already know them, but just in case - Amplificathon is a grea place for podfic of different fandoms, and Cakehole-Club is home of the cutest SPN podfic exchange challenge.

Anyway, I've friended both your blogs, and of course, feel free to de-friend if at some point you'd rather. Hi! So glad to meet you! :-)
