Yay new friend!

[exsequar]

I have a *completely* awesomesauce new friend - everyone say hi to Holly, aka shinetastic! She's pretty new to LJ, and stumbled across my journal and decided to friend me because I am fabulous because I ramble a lot about Supernatural ;) So, she's a full on SPN fan, being completely caught up and eager for Thursday's episode, but she wasn't really in the fandom - hoo boy, did I fix that! I spent four hours last night talking to her and giving her links and telling her who the best authors were and explaining what "RPS" is and showing her interviews and the DAY IN THE LIFE. She hasn't read ONE piece of fic in the fandom yet, so I was like O.O Blank SLATE, how FUN!!! I had to choose what she should read first, and I settled on Every Broken Thing - I think everyone can agree this is a good choice, no? - but damn, it was hard. We have SO MUCH GOOD FIC, guys! I'm almost jealous of her, with all that gloriousness in front of her! *g* And I think she's going to come to the June Wincon, which, SWEET!

SO, she's very sweet, fun, and funny, and we clicked immediately. WELCOME TO THE CRAZY LAND OF LJ FANDOM, HOLLY! *twirls* Everyone say hi! And go check out her journal header, which is DEAN and so gorgeous :D

Hot diggity! A newcomer to the fandom and potentially for the Wincon?! YAAAY!!! It is pretty fun throwing all the good stuff at newcomers, aint it? I haven't been reading fics for a while now, but it's good to see you've been keeping up!

YOU ARE TOO GOOD TO ME!! :D ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

And I totally added you because you were fabulous, I won't lie. And look where it lead us?? I am a mere puppet to the SPN gods, flailing around to find another fix of fanfic and vids. and articles and...

Thursday is going to be CRAZYYYY!!!!111 *does the crazy fangirl dance, which strangly resembles the Jared-"OMG-WTF-Zombie!-drunken-CW-launch-party"-Dance*

We have so much to do do!! ...I just said do do... that's awesome.

HI HOLLY! *waves* I hear you read EBT and liked it so THANK YOU! :D :D :D

And welcome to The Land Of Wrong! *twirls* Fandom is awesomecakes and SPN Fandom is THE BESTEST OF ALL.

HI MONA! *clings* :D
I did, indeed, read it. It was my first SPN Fanfic and I. LOVED. IT! But, I think it set the bar a bit high for all the other fanfics I read thereafter! You're an amazing writer and I can't wait to get back to reading!!
I also read "Don't step on the grass" and the combination of hilarity and naughty car!sex blew my mind, I was talking about it with Anne while I read it, mostly wheezing from the laughing XDDD

She was definitely right to [very highly] reccomend you for my first fic!

May I add you? :)

[mona1347.livejournal.com]

D'AW. *beams madly at you* You're so sweet and I could die of the blushing beaming thing going on in my face right now. THANK YOU so very much.

*squeals a little*

OMG, please DO add me! Welcome! I hope you enjoy my other fic and DO PLEASE go check out my ficwife poisontaster's journal as well. She's insanely prolific (the light from her prolificacy will not reach my pathetically dim prolificacy for a zillion years) and awesomely good.

[shinetastic.livejournal.com]

:D !!!!

YAY! I've added you, then! And Anne's been praising poisontaster as well, so I will DEFINITELY be making my way over to her journal! Thanks!! ♥

HI! Welcome to the special hell. It's warm and loving down here, and, uh, very crowded.

[love-the-hurt.livejournal.com]

Awww she's such a cutie!

[little-lusty.livejournal.com]

Ok I must begin with the same thing I have been saying for a while now -
I have been packing to get ready to move so while I have been reading I have been a shit for not responding to ANYTHING lately!
That being said OMFG I AM SO EXCITED FOR THURSDAY! I damn near passed out with the squee over the trailer last thursday!
And may I say with the AWESOMENESS that is Prison Break I am so in love with brotherly love I don't know what to do with myself! Oh I just ADORE brothers who really LOVE each other (and I am not even talkin porn here people LOL)
But yay for the new fan, that is ALWAYS good!
And my don't we sound kinney-esque with you little "hoo boy did I fix that!" LOL
And very good on her being a blank canvas....my the things you must have shown her. And so quickly! :)

In all seriousness, I don't think I've ever known a fandom half as shiny as SPN. So much good fic, so little badfic, and so many awesome, awesome people. (And holy asldfsjlksd, people review fics. This will never cease to amaze me.)

♥ all around.

[candidlily.livejournal.com]

Hee. I haven't really read any fic either, you know. ;P Also, I've been meaning to ask, I haven't seen that thing, you know, the one they played at wincon... with that "That's between y'all and the wall" quote. Paley Festival some such? Do you know where I can see that?

And feel free to linkspam me. I went to wincon, but hey, I'm still new to fandom. ^_^

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I didn't even realize! Gosh, Paley is SO AMAZING and deserves eighty trillion rewatches ♥♥

Paley and MANY OTHER videos can be found for download here: http://community.livejournal.com/dean_sam/99072.html The post is kind of a mess, ugly links all over the place, but I trust you can find your way through - it's worth it. I'd also download the interview with the boys and "M.Rosenbaum" if you haven't seen that one, and the "E! Paley" interview too - red carpet outside of Paley, and just lovely. And feel free to check out anything on that page that strikes your fancy too - anything with the boys is worth it, usually :D

As for fic! Well, the one I mentioned to her, Every Broken Thing, can be found in its entirety here. Start with Blurry, follow the links which will take you through a series of stories, and then you can start from the chronological beginning of EBT. It's a lot, but damn, so worth it.

If you want more recs, we should probably talk about it :)
