Hello, Fellow SPN Fans!!

So I know this comm basically just gets fic crossposts and the like these days, but apparently it was originally an SPN fandom hub of sorts? So why not see if we can get it to be that again?

Especially now, during the worst hiatus ever 😱 😷 😱

Maybe we could start with a headcount? Make some new SPN connections? Do the friending thing?

Say hello, maybe tell us a bit about yourself :D

(hello mods, if you're still around!!)

Hi, oldtoadwoman! I've had some bad experiences in other fandoms, too, so I know how that goes (Starsky and Hutch comes to mind). This fandom seems awfully nice, though. :)

Hi. It also helps that I have learned to walk away from people who irritate me. (Baby-fan-me was so desperate for everyone to get along that I inadvertently put myself right in the middle of several messes trying to play peacemaker with everyone.)

I also think old-school fandom sometimes got extra nasty because we didn't have the ability to go to our separate corners. There were only a handful of places for discussion so you kept bumping into the same people trying to control everything. I remind myself of that whenever I get nostalgic about "the good old days".

you can pry DW from my cold dead hands, tho. :)
