writing dean winchester is like. he’s hideously selfish. he’s the most selfless person in the world. he’s pathetic. he’s strong. he’s completely clueless about his feelings. he feels everything too much. he hates himself. he’s the cockiest son of a bitch you’ll ever meet. he ignores his fear. his fear consumes him. he’s protective. he wants someone to protect him. he’s controlling and possessive. he’s soft-hearted and kind. he wants to bear the weight of the world because it’s the only thing that makes him feel useful. he doesn’t want to feel responsible for everyone and everything. he loves the hunting life. he just wants to be normal. he loves his brother. he hates his brother. he loves his father. he hates his father. he loves his mother. he hates his mother.
and writing sam winchester is like. he’s never fit in anywhere. he just wants to belong. he wants to get away from his family. he doesn’t want to let his family down. he’s full of anger. he’s the gentlest man in the world. he’s never had the ability to choose. he’ll do anything to preserve other people’s ability to choose. he’s a good hunter. he wants to be anything else but a hunter. he’s defiant. he’s complacent. he’s ashamed of the things he’s done. he’s proud of himself for who he is. he doesn’t ever want to kill. he’ll kill anything that threatens someone he loves. he feels suffocated by his brother’s love. his brother’s love is the only true thing he’s ever known. he hates his father. he loves his father.
everything about these characters is a contradiction. how can you not want to eat them alive, absorb them into your blood, and then spend the rest of your life trying to write them into a world where every single one of these things is true at the same time??? i’m absolutely. insane

SPN Rewatch: FanFic Edition
Our goal is to rewatch the show with fanfic writing in mind. We want to look for all the places in canon where we could add a scene, show a scene from a certain character’s point of view, or change something to make things turn out differently. (We may also critique what the show writers did; that seems inevitable.)
Episodes we're discussing: 2.05 Simon Said and 2.06 No Exit
What time will it be for you:
UTC - Saturday 21:00
Los Angeles - Saturday 2pm
New York - Saturday 5pm
London - Saturday 10pm
New Delhi - Sunday 2:30am
Melbourne - Sunday 7am
Who’s invited? All Pond members, including Turtles! You don’t have to be a writer to have an opinion on the episodes that could inspire a writer! Everyone has valuable opinions about the show and could spark conversation and inspiration.
Where will we meet? In the discord server. There is a special channel for us to chat in so we don’t disturb other chats happening at the same time.
How does it work? On our own, whenever we have time, we all watch two episodes of SPN. At the appointed time, we all get together and chat about them. Although we have several questions to consider and creative ideas for you to do if you want, there is no pressure to actually have answers to these questions or have created anything prior to the chat. Didn’t get to watch them? No biggie! We’ve all watched these episodes enough that we can probably talk about them without rewatching them!
More info under the cut!
What questions should we consider while we watch? We have a few questions you can keep in mind while you’re watching the episodes:
Are there any “fanfiction gaps” in this episode? Any places between scenes where a juicy story could happen? (For example, one scene ends at night, but the next scene begins during the day, and what did they do with all of that time?)
How would the episode be different if you changed one thing? What is changed is up to you. It could be as complex as a character making a different choice, or as simple or silly as someone wearing a funny hat throughout part or all of the episode.
What about this episode would you like to see happen differently? How would making that change affect future episodes?
List any parts of each episode that you think could be jumping-off points for a fic. Like, in the pilot, how did Sam meet their friend who was in the bar with them?
How would the episode be different if there were another character involved like a reader insert character?
Do any of the themes we've already discussed in The Archive (See the bottom of the doc under the heading "Thematic docs") show up in this episode? Does this episode bring up any new themes we should be watching out for in the future?
What else can we do before the chat? You can add any notes you have about the episodes we'll be discussing to The Archives! In addition, besides just discussing the fanfiction possibilities in every episode, we also want to encourage you to create things centered around the episodes we’re discussing and share them with the rest of us. Things like:
Write some meta about some part of the episode. What does this episode show us about one or more of the characters?
Write a fic based on the episode. Share a link to your fic in the discussion and we can talk about it!
Make a playlist that you feel reflects the mood of the episode.
Make some art or a photo collage or edits to go along with the episode.
We look forward to seeing everything you create! Be sure to tag us so we can reblog your work!
Have questions about this or anything else? Send us an ASK or send a private message to one of the admins below!
Admins:
Michelle - @mrswhozeewhatsis
Marie - @mariekoukie6661
MJ - @thoughtslikeaminefield

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen
also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote
suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

Oh my heavens 😆
Obi-Wan: “Did you know that Anakin is still alive?”
Bail: “Skywalker? No way! There’s no way that Anakin Skywalker lived for twenty years without getting on at least half of the galaxy’s nerves or being the most dramatic man in the room or without fighting a ten-year-old or oh my heavens he’s Darth Vader, isn’t he?”

Yes. This right here.
There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.
The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.
Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.
I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)
Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

Weekly Pond Newsletter
It's JIB weekend, and the photos from the con are spreading FOMO to all fans everywhere. To make us feel like there's somewhere we'd like to be that's not Italy, right now, here's what's going on in the Pond!
Old Business:
SPNFanFicPond Fic Highlight - We did another fic highlight, and this time it's a fluffy Lucifer x Dean AU fic by our own @heavenssexiestangel! Click here to read Graveyard Confessions!
Fishing For Treasures - This weekend is FFT weekend here at the Pond, and we're reblogging over 60 Omegaverse fics! Keep your eyes on our blog for tons of lovely soulmatey goodness! (Why does the word "soulmatey" make me think of a romantic pirate? "Arrr, but yes, they're my soulmatey and I love 'em!" 🤣)
#TweetFicTues - Here are our prompts from last week:
New Business:
Competitive Writing Sprints - Manta Ray Arthur is hosting a session of competitive writing sprints later today! Click here for all the details!
SPN Rewatch: FanFic Edition - Next weekend we will be discussing the next two episodes in our rewatch, 2.05 Simon Said and 2.06 No Exit. Be sure to give them a rewatch this week so you can join our chat and talk about Andy Gallagher, and also Jo and Dean! (And how Dean sleeps in a chair. There have to be more comfortable ways to sleep in that chair!)
Question for YOU - We are considering starting up something akin to the Angel Fish Awards, but where writers tell us about awesome comments they've received on their fics! Admin Michelle spent some time during her chat yesterday bandying about different names, but didn't come up with anything that really spoke to her. Angel Turtle Awards? Ninja Angel Turtle Awards? Raphael Awards? (Because, you know, he was a TMNT and an archangel.) What do you guys think? Let us know in replies and reblogs!

Graveyard Confessions (Love is a Healing Spell)
Rating: Teen and Up
Ship: Lucifer/Dean
Word count: 2671
Written for: @supernaturalquaranzine Vol. 5
Prompt: Witches/Familiars
Tags and Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Witch!Lucifer, familiar!Dean, mention of death (no main character)
Summary: It's Halloween night, and Dean is at the graveyard to talk to his mother about the unrequited feelings he has for Lucifer, his witch. His feelings might me more welcome than he thinks, though, and this Halloween more special than the others.
Beta by @playwithdarkfire. Thank you!
Notes: I really hope you will all like it, because I really put my heart into it.
As you will see, there's the beginning of a song towards the end. I wrote it, much like I wrote songs for my fanfic "Your Soul Sang to Me". I hope you like it. Do tell me if I should finish it!
Thank you to Sarah, my friend and beta, for helping me with it.
Enjoy!
Excerpt:
The graveyard was uncomfortably quiet. None of the nocturnal animals made any noise, no mouse or lizard welcomed him. The moonlight illuminated the stone sculptures: angels, children, and couples in eternal embraces.
Dean’s small cat form allowed him to enter through the railings; then, he scurried to the deepest part of the cemetery. He stopped in front of a huge funerary chapel, the door ajar. It broke ages ago, and no one got it fixed. Not that Dean could do it himself, either.
He entered with slow, uncertain steps.
There was a single coffin in the center, surrounded by shelves.
Dean sniffed and mewled at the ones containing books of magic and herbs, jumping instead on the one welcoming a deep blue, almost black urn. It contained his mother’s ashes.

Los Angeles - Sunday 11am
New York - Sunday 2pm
London - Sunday 7pm
New Delhi - Sunday 11:30pm

How will it work?
The exact number of sprints and length of each sprint will be decided by the host and participants. Be prepared to work on a WIP of your own, but the host has the option of offering a prompt.
At the end of the sprints, whoever wrote the most words in one sprint will get a prize. Whoever wrote the most words in all of the sprints together will also get a prize. More prizes may be given out on the day depending on how things go. If the host brings prompts, there may be opportunities to win more prizes for most creative, funniest, etc. Be prepared to be asked to share your work! You don’t have to if you don’t want to! (Prizes will be chosen from the Pond Prize Pool.)
Where will this happen?
In the sprint channel in the Pond discord server. (You must be a member to be in the discord server. Not a member? Start here and then send us an ASK!) For anyone who hasn’t sprinted before, how it all works will be explained before we start.
I have more questions. How do I get them answered?
Send us an ASK, or ask your question in the discord server (someone will get back to you later if no one is there when you ask), or send a private message to one of the admins!
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
