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!)

Check out these:
For regular posts by mods:
You'll still get meta posts to
For regular hot as hell pics of either the Js or Sam and Dean check out
There's a start. There's more of course (and people!) if you want more.
There's a lot more fandom activity on tumblr and twitter. Took me a while to get used to it, but tumblr has some fantastic gifs and even the meta seems to be moving over there. It can be a wankfeast if not careful, so you have to be careful about who you follow.
Twitter can be fun too. :)

If you know any SPN fans based in the UK that want a legit copy of S7, send them here too. I hate to waste it.

I do have a twitter account (I think we're friends. I'll have to check.), but I got so bored by people posting about their lunch etc. I can try again. Starrylizards is my username, I think.
I also have a tumblr (I wince every time I have to spell that), but I don't really get it. How do people talk toe each other there? I'm starrylizard there too by the way.

Tumblr is super werid. I have no idea how people talk to each other. I figure they do but mostly it's about looking at pretty things. I also use it as my ranting space (sometimes). People can comment back it's pretty messy. I don't like it for conversations at all. But I love it for seeing how the fandom sees the show. Gifs are like mini metas sometimes and it's fascinating to see the connections people make. I also like it to gage what fandom is doing . It takes a bit of searching though and it's time consuming.

Hmmm, I only know of a couple of UK fans and I'd be sure they have S7 already. But I can check.

Hi there, I'm visiting via
I just read your profile and see that as well as SPN you also list SGA as an interest. This makes me very happy!♥
Now I'm a wincest!girl, but a Dean!girl first with the occasional Sam moment, I'm all for each-to-their-own and have no problem chatting with people of different pairings etc. In SGA I'm a John!girl and a Shex!girl, and I'm a mod over at
Anyway, love to see you around the place, the more the merrier I say. :)

Oh yes, and I brought you pie!

I'm totally on board with each-to-their-own. Not sure why, but none of the slash ever grabbed me in SPN fandom and I just don't like the Wincest thing (not that I can't see why people do). I do occasionally read the het fic, but there's not much of it, so I'm mostly a gen girl. Not worried that you aren't though. I mostly mentioned it in case people wondered why I wasn't reading their fic or something. Wouldn't want to be rude.
Thanks for popping in. :)

LJ is my lifeline, so I'd be dead if there weren't plenty of action.
A good site for compiling SPN information is http://spn_bunker.livejournal.com/.
I write almost exclusively wincest and J2, but I love all of fandom, I can place nice with the gen people too! Feel free to friend.

So very possible. I just had a look and the last fic I wrote for SPN was back in 2010. Wow!
Yeah, I'm popping in on the off-season, so I expect a little quiet. I'll have to check out the big bang. Long fics are the best! :)
Haha! I just went in search of what an "odd manic" is, but realised belatedly you mean manip. I'm a little slow on the uptake tonight. Your art looks great! I love the idea of covers for fic. Yours are so pretty too! I still remember Newkidfan (one of the bigger art people back when I was fandom-ing) made me a cover for Dirty Tactics (http://starrylizard.livejournal.com/273262.html) and I just about died from the awesome! Artists rock! :)
Pie!! Thanks so much for saying hello! I'm glad SPN fandom lives. :D

I'm finding with ePubs a cover is really important to a story now, so you don't get the generic placeholder cover on your iPad or kindle.
And I would have just found LJ and started reading when you last popped in. : ) At the time I felt like I had missed the party. 4 amazing years of SPN fic that I didn't know had been happening. WOW, such an exciting time in SPN fic. AND EVIL!SAM!!!!!
LOL
Well it maybe a bit quieter, but there's still lots of fun to be had. And I'm glad you liked your pie!

Ash said you had a Season 7 dvd, lol I only ordered mine yesterday and it arrived this morning!
Are you a Brit?

I seem to be a member of the bunker, but I think it must be a recent acquisition to my list of communities. I'll have to explore it properly one evening.

Yes, so with you on LJ being quiet. It's not just SPN either, it's all of LJ getting more and more quiet (except maybe in Sherlock fandom). I wish I could reverse that.
Nope, not a Brit, I'm an Aussie like Ash. But I ordered the Season 7 DVDs through Amazon (waaay cheaper than here) and the DVDs came with an Ultraviolet licensed digital copy that is "only available for download in the UK".
Apparently to use this service, one must be (a) over 18, (b) living in the UK and (c) create or have a Flixster account.
Since I am over 18, but otherwise run into problems, I'm happy to give the password to someone else to use. I really only wanted the DVDs anyway. So if you know someone who'd like a licensed digital copy or if you'd like it... just say the word.
P.S. I love your sidebar gifs. Where does everyone get all the cool sidebar gifs?

I know right! Ash sent me friends. I love my flist! We are small, but mighty! :D
Yep I'm up to S4. Can you believe it? It's such a pity they had to cut S3 so short. The momentum was a bit all over the place, but it does make me want to fill in the blanks with some fic. :D
Tumblr. I get there are pretty things over there. Otherwise, I do not get it at all. LOL.

I'm only in the SPN fandon, never been able to get myself excited enough with any other show and I miss those days when, if you just left your journal for a cup of tea you'd find several posts to catch up on. Now overnight I might only have 20 posts to check through :(
Oh my new set has that ultraviolet copy with it, no idea how to use it though, I guess I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the offer though and if I hear of anyone who'd like it I'll give you a shout.
So you are an Aussie, we have several family members over there and my daughter is going over in Sept with her fiance on a year's work permit. They intend to travel around and, hopefully, work along the way.
My sidebar is my pride and joy and so I get so peeved off that LJ is soon to force the new friends feed on us, which will deny us/me those lovely gifs and header. Adding gifs is quite easy so long as you have them saved in an appropriate place, like Photobucket. Most of my gifs come from a very good friend who is credited :D
