Tuesday Interviews with Supernatural Wiki

Supernatural Wiki has become the number one spot to be for fans everywhere. From episode reviews to trivia, fanfiction and even additional information on demonology or legends, Superwiki provides it for the always eager Supernatural-fan. 

I, myself, visit the site often and so when I was faced with the opportunity to interview someone, I jumped at the chance to interview one of the admins that work so hard behind the scenes. Hopefully, you'll like the interview I had with the lovely Jules. 

How did the site come to be?

Early in 2006, an Australian fan called Hope started a website called Super Canon for Supernatural.
By the end of the first season, she decided that a Wiki would be a better format for a site and the
Supernatural Wiki was born.

The Super Wiki Admin team pays for all the costs associated with the site, with occasional donations
from fans. This means we’re free of ads, and independent of any commercial interests.

Can you tell us more about what Super-Wiki is and its purpose?

The Super Wiki aims to be a guide book to Supernatural and its fandom. We want to provide lots of
information, but also be a directory to all the places Supernatural fandom exists around the internet.
In addition, we want it to be a project that many fans could be part of in. It’s an important part of
the Super Wiki that fans can join in and feel that it really is their site.

There are four main parts to the Super Wiki. In the Canon section we have detailed episode entries,
with transcripts, a guide to all the music, mythology and pop culture references, as well as entries on
all the characters. In addition to the Show, we also cover the Ghostfacers’ webseries, and the new
Supernatural Animation.

Over in the Library, we have more information on the angels, demons and creatures in the Show
than you’d find at Bobby’s place (and we have floorplans to his house too!). If you want to read a
transcript of John’s journal or find out the type of car each of the Four Horse drove, it’s here. The
Wiki loves quirky stuff like cataloguing Bobby’s hats, or finding all the Star Trek references in the
show.

The Production category has entries on the cast and crew, although there are a few pets in
there as well. We have info on all the tie-in novels and books. The Supernatural Scrapbook is a
comprehensive guide to major events, interviews, awards associated with the Show from its first
online mention in 2004.

Supernatural fandom is comprehensively covered. There’s a guide to all aspects of fanworks
whether its songs written by fans or crafts. Fanfic of course is huge and we guide fans through all
the pairings and crack fic and where to find it all. We have a whole section on fandom vernacular –
from the slang to the in jokes – so you have a clue what everyone’s talking about! I love that we can
actually trace back things like Metallicar back to the fan who coined the term.

We also provide comprehensive coverage of all the Supernatural conventions through linking to
fan’s reports, pictures and videos. And not forgetting one of my favourite projects – our gallery of
fan tattoos.

We profile other Supernatural blogs and fansites and there’s a whole section on Twitter and our
exploits there.

If it’s about Supernatural it’s probably on the Supernatural Wiki. Oh and we’re 100% spoiler free.

Your site is the number one search engine when it comes to Supernatural. Did you expect this
upon creation?

We certainly have worked hard to make the site unique. The great thing about the Wiki format is
that any fan can become part of the Super Wiki. One contributor said to me: ”It’s a place where I feel
my contributions make a difference, and I love being part of such a big project”.

Having so many diverse people involved makes the Super Wiki a really rich resource. People bring
their own interests and skills – whether it’s translating Latin, or spotting Simpsons references,
formatting or spotting canon inaccuracies.

What does the admin team do on the Wiki? How much time does it take?

Early on the admin team had a lot to do working out the structure of the Wiki, adding content and
spreading the word about the site. I joined the Admin team in late 2007 and at one point we had a
team of five spread across 3 continents!

These days the Admin team is basically two of us, and the main work is making sure the Wiki
remains accurate and up-to-date as well as helping new users learn how to format using the Wiki
coding and style.

Hope who founded the site is still involved as our resident techie, working behind the scenes to
make sure everything runs smoothly. I would spend some time most days working on the Wiki, but
it’s so well established now that our experienced users on the site also take on the role of checking
content and helping out other users too.

I still love playing on the Wiki – probably because I still love the Show so much. I often say it’s like
knitting – it’s sort of therapeutic and at the end of a session you have something toshow for it.

In addition I run our Twitter account @SuperWiki, which is loads of fun, and lets me meet fans from
all round the world.

You've recently been nominated for the SFX Blog Awards. How excited are you?

I have may squeed when I got the email! It’s a huge honour to be nominated alongside fandom
behemoths like Leaky Cauldron and the One Ring.

Where do you see Super-Wiki in five years?

I would like to think I would be adding a new section for the Supernatural movie! Even if the show
has finished, I think the passion for it is so strong, that people will still be using the Wiki and adding
to it.

Are any of you active in other aspects of the fandom? Is Supernatural the only fandom you are
occupied with?

Supernatural is my main fannish interest. I write fanfic and meta and generally talk a lot about the
show on my Livejournal. I do watch a lot of other TV and movies, and read a lot – mainly science

fiction, horror and crime. I’m also involved in Wincon which is an annual fan convention now in its
sixth year (Check it out at omgwincon.com)

Aren't they amazing? Be sure to vote for them and check out the links included. They worked hard to get where they are and deserve it all!

That's all from me, and I'll see y'all soon. 

Shirley Out!

Tuesday Interviews with Tessa_SPN!

So this week, I had the pleasure of interviewing a unique role-player who definitely grabs my attention whenever she role-plays due to her originality and skill with words. I thought that this week, it'd be nice to share with you all why I absolutely adore her. I'll stop babbling and allow her to charm you herself...

Thumpa: Hey! Introduce yourself to us so everyone knows who you are.

Tessa: Salutations, my name is Tessa and I am an angel of the Lord. You can follow my adventures on twitter under the name @Tessa_SPN.

Thumpa: So, from reaper to angel. How did that come about?

Tessa: A long story, that, but I will try to keep it short. I found myself caught in the middle of a play for power between the Horseman I served for thousands of years, Death, and the angels and humans I had grown to love. I know, Reapers are not supposed to feel emotions, but I did, and in order to protect those I cared for I offered myself up in service of Father in exchange. Apparently, He thought I had potential and He accepted my offer. I died in the fight, but I was reborn in Heaven. Coming awake to find myself in the Garden with Joshua looming over me, telling me I had a new purpose and taking me through a form of angelic boot camp. Since then I have been fighting in the war and doing my best to accomplish the tasks I am given.

Thumpa: Now you're an angel, what's your role up above?

Tessa: I am the replacement for the fallen angel Metatron, the Voice of God. It is a bit like being Father's Personal Assistant. It is my job to hear His commands and ensure that His will is done, but as He does not speak much anymore, I am more often required to settle squabbles in the family. And in our family, there are always squabbles. I hear the constant flow of conversation of all angels, and when they are in trouble, I am there. But that does not mean that I do not interact with the humans. Quite often I find myself protecting those special individuals who help us in the fight against demons and evil. The Winchesters in particular.

Thumpa: This angelic civil war... Could you tell us who's on your side and who's not?

Tessa: I am heavily aligned with @LuciferDSM, @Trickster_Gabe, @Castiel_Warrior and @RealMetatron, who has recently resurfaced now that Heaven is being reopened to the fallen by @Michael_DSM. Though I cannot claim a loving relationship between Michael and myself. We tolerate one another. That is all. As for those who are against us, there are many nameless angels who fight for supremacy, though their numbers are waning. Right now, our biggest threat comes from @Anturiel. He has amassed many followers and he has made it his personal mission to destroy Gabriel, Lucifer and myself, but he will not succeed.

Thumpa: How's the war going for you? Good, bad, ugly?

Tessa: It has elements of them all. I think the ugliest incident has been the slaughter of the fledglings. Many were lost that day, but I managed to save quite a few. The good, Lucifer and Gabriel have been readmitted to Heaven at their previous rank at last. The bad, the continual loss of our brothers and sisters. For too long there has been bloodshed in Heaven and it must stop. I truly believe Father will not return until we remember why we were created and end these foolish battles. All families have their issues, but we seem to take this to epic levels.

After the lovely chat with the wonderful character, we flipped a switch and had a nice chat with the brains behind the character...

Thumpa: Hey, so turning Tessa from a reaper to and angel is a very unique idea. What made you make it happen?

Tessa: Honestly, it just made sense. As a Reaper she was limited to a certain role, but the people I interacted with, the storylines that kept coming up, were such fun that I wanted to be able to play a bigger part. When Death decided to try and take on Lucifer to win his freedom, it provided that opportunity. Tess had always been close to Gabriel, and by extension, Lucifer, as an angel she could truly share in their adventures and help them fight against the forces of evil.

Thumpa: I can imagine that this would bring up some interesting storylines. Can you tell us what's potentially in store for your character and those you RP with?

Tessa: Well, right now Tess is training with Metatron, finally learning the extent of her powers as the Voice, something she hasn't been able to do because it's been one fight after the next. She's been through a lot in her six months as an angel. Especially the Anturiel story line. That was her first "romance", though it was much more about control than love. He basically kidnapped her and got her addicted to angel blood, something she still struggles with, (if you've been following us, you'll know that she and Gabriel are now sharing blood as well to increase their power base for an upcoming battle,) and for a while she was really walking the path of the dark side. It's left a mark on her and there will be more of that darkness explored in the future. And of course the whole Anturiel story line is still going on. There will be a major confrontation in the future for him, with Lucifer and Gabriel playing a big part as well. Not to mention the connection she shares with Metatron. As dual powers they find themselves like two sides of a coin and there could be a future relationship brewing there. We'll have to see where it goes. As it stands now, she is doing what she can to help him fight his inner demons and find his way back to grace. Which is really her true purpose. She's trying to bring balance back to Heaven, and to do that, she needs the major players to accept their God-given roles.

Thumpa: Where do you get these storyline ideas?

Tessa: I have a very active imagination and I like to keep things flowing. Sometimes I get these really crazy ideas, but luckily I have people around me who can reign me in. I love drama and high suspense, and often, one story line will flow into another. @Trickster_Gabe and myself have these terrific late night conversations where we just start rambling about our interpretations of why our characters behave in a certain way or think a certain thing, and then ideas for where we could go next just start to flow. Sometimes we just start playing and it all begins to move in a certain direction. Part of what I love about our role play is that we just let the characters take control and lead us along. We're all so close, IC and OOC, that there are these bonds that I think really come across in our role play, and it is usually in protection of these bonds that the story lines develop.

Thumpa: Onto a slightly different subject, how long have you been RPing and what got you into it?

Tessa: I've only been RPing for about seven months. I'm a writer and artist by profession, and I was having a hard time with a project I was working on when I stumbled upon some people role playing on Twitter as Sam and Dean from Supernatural. I love the show and these guys were doing such a great job, so I followed them from my RL account. Of course, following them I was led to other role players and one night I found @LuciferDSM and @Trickster_Gabe having one of their cute little bantery conversations. I was hooked. For a month I just watched, and then one day I went to Dark Side of the Moon and joined up. I figured, heck, I'll give it a shot, and it was so much fun. I picked Tessa because she was one of the few female roles still available there that interested me. I always liked her in the show and thought there was a lot more to her than what we saw. And of course, the rest is history. So, in short, it's all Gabe and Lucy's fault.

Thumpa: Is twitter the only place you currently RP in?

Tessa: Yes. I have a Facebook account, but I really don't use it. I like the real time interaction of Twitter. The way you can play off one another and how sharp it keeps your mind. You never know what might get thrown at you there, so you really have to be on your toes.

As always, I had to ask random questions, right? As I do every person I interview. So, here we go!

Thumpa: Who's your favourite non canon pairing and why?

Tessa: I'm sure this will come as no surprise, but: Lucifer and Gabriel! Come on, those two are my boys. Whether they are being playful and bickering like an old married couple or fighting together against whatever threat happens to be coming at them, I just love the way they interact.

Thumpa: Which character of Supernatural can you relate to the most?

Tessa: Crowley. I love a nice glass of Scotch and can't stand morons. *laughing*

Thumpa: Favourite Hunter, Demon, Angel, Lover (of Dean or Sam's) and why?

Tessa: As far as the boys' lovers go, I have always liked Jo and Dean. There was such potential for true partnership there, and the way she went toe to toe with him always made me respect her moxie. Dean needs someone who won't put up with his crap and as a fellow hunter there was no need to hide anything from her. I was really sad to see her die. For Sam, it has to be Ruby. As sick and twisted as their relationship was, it was hot, and I think there was more there than either of them wanted to admit. There were moments where it was almost sweet.

Thumpa: What's your favourite Season over all and favourite episode (which doesn't necessarily have to be in your favourite season)?

Tessa: I'd have to say my favorite season would be 4, because it really brings the whole big picture together for the boys. Everything they've been through leads to this point, culminating in Lucifer's release. My favorite episode use to be The End. The thought of Castiel having orgies. It was great. And I love that whole look at the future concept. But then Caged Heat came out and nothing can top the Pizza Man. Of course, I also have a great deal of anger about this episode as well because they killed off Crowley. Big mistake in my opinion, but they don't ask me what I think before they write them. Morons! By the way, my least favorite episode is Hammer of the Gods, because they killed off my Gabriel.

Thumpa: If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

Tessa: Over there is the bar, and right through that door is the harem. Have a good time!

Thumpa: Anything else you want to add?

Tessa: Kripke: Bring back Gabriel and Crowley or I will cut out your heart with a spork!

I have to say, reading her responses to my questions had me laughing. Show your love and follow her by clicking here. Make sure to follow her pals on twitter, too! (@LuciferDSM, @Trickster_Gabe, @Castiel_Warrior, @Anturiel and @RealMetatron)
That's it from me. See you next Tuesday.

Thumpa, out! ;)

Tuesday Interviews with Mandy!

Hey, guys! It's wonderful and Tuesday like again. Yay! So this week, I have the pleasure of presenting to you my interview with Mandy aka @Falling_Dominos about her story, "From Duluth to Cold Oaks". She is again, a Supernatural Fic writer.

Thumpa: Tell us about your story.

Mandy: Okay... Umm, we'll pick from Duluth to Cold Oak. It's the interim between Season 2, Episode 10 and 21. It's about how Ava and Jo meet. Ava doesn't kill her husband, she comes back and her husband was already dead, killed by Azazel (in my opinion, that's how it went down) and Ava runs off to her sisters... and has more visions about Jo getting killed by Azazel. Really, I'm not going to be able to do it justice here. [Click here for the story] Have fun with it. ^.^ It's a story about two women in Supernatural who never got to meet in canon, meeting and kicking some ass.

Thumpa: What inspired you to write this story?

Mandy: What inspired me to write this was my artist. This particular fic was part of the spn_reversebang challenge where you are given art, then you write a fic based on that art. ^.^ As for the plot inspiration? I wanted something that could fit into canon, but we never got to hear about it. We have "Born Under A Bad Sign" tossed in there, as well as Ava being taken to Cold Oak where she then becomes evil and dies. So it "could" have happened. I like fic like that.

Thumpa: What is your writing process? do you write the outlines or do the words and ideas just go on paper as they flow?

Mandy: I write what I feel like writing, really. If I feel I need an outline, I write that, but usually I don't. I just go with it until I can't anymore. Then I find a way to stop it. Or I leave it... Lol, I tend to write more of a snapshot fic than a full story. I write for fun, and beginnings, middles and ends kinda stress me out. So I don't worry about them, much. This fic in particular, I had an outline for because I had a word count minimum I had to it. (5K, it ended up being 10K). Usually, I don't, though. ^.^

Thumpa: What motivates you to come up with the story lines within your story?

Mandy: PROMPTS! For me, motivation comes from prompts. I'll see something and be inspired to write and I can turn out a thousand words in an hour or two on a good day. If the prompt is hard, I usually don't write it. I have to be really struck to write. My muse is very fickle and temperamental. Now for the little twist and turns... either an idea will hit me, or I'll be talking to someone about the story, or reading something else somewhere ... and BAM, idea.

Thumpa: Do you think you'll write much more for this story or is it coming to a conclusion?

Mandy: I'm more than likely done with that pairing, since the story is technically finished. At least in that particular form. I may write them again, but it'll probably be either a small scene from that story, or perhaps just another ficlet with that pairing.

Thumpa: Why livejournal and not a site like fanfiction.net?

Mandy: I like Livejournal better, you can make it look pretty, and I've found most of my favorite fan fiction authors have been on LJ and no where else. Also that was where I started posting my really really old harry potter drabbles back when I was in high school. I haven't found a whole lot of community on fanfiction.net but there's a whole comment back and getting to know other authors on LJ, which is something I really like. And I like journals/blogs a bunch anyway.

Thumpa: Who's your favourite non-canon pairing and why?

Mandy: ...LMAO...wow. Umm, I'll put it this way. None of the 'canon' parings are in my top...five? Probably my top ten. Hell most of the 'fanon' pairings aren't in my top five. I'm a lover of rare things and dark things, so... I don't ship the way most people do. My favorite, happens to be Dean/Alistair...Next in no particular order are: Luci/Adam, Gabriel/Jo, Lucifer/Sam, Lucifer/Michael, Luci/Jo, Alistiar/Ruby I like monsters. A more tame one might be Ava/Sam. Azazel/Lilith, Lilith/Alistair....Yeah, Dean/Ali is my fave aside from Luci/Adam, tho it's quickly tied with Luci/Jo(and Gabe/Jo) for how much I love it.

Thumpa: Which character of Supernatural can you relate to the most?

Mandy: Oh, who do I relate to? Uhh...I don't know. You'd have to ask other people that, cause with how often I roleplay some of them, I feel like we're pretty good friends. If I had to pick I'd say Alistair. You don't really wanna know why, but I can appreciate his sole-devotion to his art.

Thumpa: Favourite Hunter, Demon, Angel, Lovers (of Dean or Sam's) and why?

Mandy: Favorite Hunter: Uh....hm....I like John. He was super-dedicated, and amazing at what he did, even if it left a lot to be desired in the skills he had in other parts of his life. He was a terrible parent and didn't know what he was doing after Mary died.

Favorite Demon: Alistair. End of list. He's deliciously evil, and unique. He doesn't like earth. At all. He is the only demon shown to prefer Hell to earth. Win. Runner up: Azazel.

Favorite Angel: OH GOD YOU'RE MAKING ME CHOOSE? No, I cannot...It's a total tie between Lucifer and Gabriel. I love them for different reasons, but I love them both tons. I can't watch 5.19 cause seeing Lucifer kill my Gabriel makes me bawl like a little girl...I've only seen that ep once.

Favorite Lover: (Canon or Fanon?) I'll go with Canon I guess. That'll mean it's not something off my list. ^.^ hehe! I really liked Cassie from route 666. She was beautiful and snarky. It was awesome.


Thumpa: What's your favourite Supernatural Season over all and favourite episode (which doesn't necessarily have to be in your favourite season)?

Mandy: Season? Five. By FAR AND LARGE. I love season five, I love the arc. Season 4 was real close second though, mainly cause a lot of really good epis were in s4. Including my fave episode: On The head of a pin. As you can see, I love my angels, and I love them a lot. Nothing can pass my love for Dean/Alistair though.

Season five was the end of the world. You had the Horsemen, Lucifer, Michael, the hunt for God, Chuck possibly being god, the anti-christ, Meg, Character Death...-still misses Jo and Gabriel way to much-, you had Crowley, and Adam! And then you had Sam making up for letting Lucifer out of the cage, and Castiel becoming near human and then God bringing him back.

On the Head of a Pin though? You got to see what happens when Dean gets dark. When Dean picks up the tools and opens the Pandora's box inside his heart and lets the nasty out. It was one of the only times we got to see on screen what Hell did to Dean, and we saw it happen to his teacher, one of the most frightening scenes I've seen on the show, and it wasn't scary cause Dean was hurting a demon...no, it was the...discussion between the two o them. The taunting and lines like 'I think I've got something caught in my throat...oh I think it's my throat.' The scene where Alistair nearly sends Cas packin back to heaven. It was beauty and it was precision...Oh I loved every bit of it. Dean still carries Alistair inside his head, no matter if they don't show it. Alistair knew him inside and out for 40 years. That's longer than anyone else, and he remembers. So, to me anyone who says Dean/Alistair didn't happen...is crazy.


Thumpa: If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

Mandy: I wouldn't expect God to be there...but if he was...it'd be like 'welcome to eternity, don't step on the grass.'

Thumpa: Thank you so much for letting me interview you!

So guys, Follow Mandy on twitter by clicking there >> @Falling_Dominos.
And check out her story, here >> From Duluth to Cold Oaks!

Thumpa, out! ;)

Tuesday Interviews with Shirley007!

Hey, guys! Thumpa here. So it's time for our Tuesday Interviews and this week, I had the pleasure of interviewing our very own Shirley007!

There's a wide range of activities that group together to make the Supernatural fandom that we all bask in now. From roleplay, to video making, to blogging, to writing fiction based on Supernatural - Shirley is here to tell us all about her Supernatural based story.

Thumpa: Hey, so introduce yourself to us and tell us about your story.

Shirley007: Hi. Well, I'm Shirley007. I'm a twenty-six year old single mom. I live in Belgium and try to write amongst the insanity that's my life. I am completely obsessed by all things Supernatural, as well as angels. And I adore you girls!!

I have several stories for different fandoms, but my newest project is called 'Family Matters.' It's an all human SPN fic about the Mercer family. There are six kids, Michael, Lucifer, Raphael, Gabriel, Anna and finally Castiel. The Mercers are a very religious family, fanatics even and have a very skewed view on the Bible. Their parents keep them hidden away from the world, forcing them to grow up together with only their siblings to reach out to. Violence is also a very common affair and Castiel unfortunately doesn't only have to suffer through his father's abuse, but the oldest brothers as well.

Michael, Raphael and Lucifer (who are the oldest) bully the two youngest (Anna and Castiel) while Gabriel idly stands by and watches. Gabriel has been attracted to Castiel for a long time, but has never done anything to interfere.
One morning, Castiel spots a boy standing just behind the barbed wire that divides their land from the one next to it. There hasn't lived anyone for years, and he's excited about making an actual friend.

The arrival of Dean will be the catalyst to many events, but the main story will be revolving around Gabriel and Castiel.

Thumpa: Gabriel/Castiel is a very interesting pairing. What inspired you to write it?

Shirley007: I'm a real angelh00r as of all of you probably know, and I had been working on this other Gabriel/Castiel fic (unposted), when I started thinking. What if they were human and Castiel was the victim of a nasty bully? But there are already so many stories about high school and such, so I knew I didn't want to write that. And then it came to me, just popped into my head like one of those songs in the morning that you just can't get out of your head. And I started writing.

Thumpa: What is your writing process? Do you write outlines or do the words and ideas just go on paper as they flow?

Shirley007: I have a general idea and some scenes that I can't get rid of, but I rarely write anything down for later, because as I write my idea usually twists and strays from the original and the outcome at times is entirely different than what I start out with.
I don't change anything either. As you read it, that's how it appeared in my head at the moment I was writing.

Thumpa: What gets things going, what gets you writing? Music, videos, the episodes?

Shirley007: Music mostly. I usually start writing first though and when I have pinned down the main emotion of the chapter, I start hunting for music that amplifies that. Because I write it better when I actually feel like the character does.

Thumpa: Do you think this story will be a long multi chapter or are you planning on making it a short one?

Shirley007: Definitely a long one. At the moment I thought of about fifteen, but my stories tend to grow longer than I intended. Hell, I've got a WIP that's 47 chapters now and it was supposed to be ten chapters tops.

Thumpa: Why both livejournal and fanfiction.net?

Shirley007: To be honest, LiveJournal is the place to go for good SPN fics. There are good ones on FFn too, but not as many. The ones I've read mostly come from LJ and so I posted mine there too. Why on FFnet? Because I posted most my stories there and have a decent amount of readers, whilst I'm new on LJ. I guess it's a security blanket, or something.

Thumpa: Is the Supernatural Fandom a bigger deal on Livejournal?

Shirley007: Yes, I believe so. There are more communities, contests and 'good' stories.

After this, I asked Shirley a couple of questions on her other activities concerning the Supernatural fandom!

Thumpa: Tell us briefly about other things that get you involved in the fandom; Roleplay, blogs, etc?

Shirley007: I have several RP accounts, such as Chuck, Castiel and Gabriel. And I'm active on this very blog.

Thumpa: What or who's the reason you got into video making/ role playing/ blogging?

Shirley007: Video Making: A friend of mine, Rosalynn, made me a video for one of my Twilight fics. I was curious about how she did it and she linked me to onetruemedia. I decided to try and found I really liked it. So I made more and more, and recently I even purchased a more decent program to edit. I only started making vids about four or five months ago, so I'm still learning.


Role Playing: Another friend of mine, KC, had a RP site, and they needed a Charlotte (Twilight). I was a little afraid about my skills at first, but wanted to try for her. I quickly got addicted to it, and kept joining site after site. I think I currently have about 9 accounts (Twilight, Supernatural and Rogues combined)

Blogging: That was kind of funny. Vicki and I were just goofing off on Twitter, talking about how we would run a blog if we could. Then the next thing I know, she's saying "Let's do it." and that was the start of my blogging dream/nightmare. I'm currently involved with nine blogs.


To wrap up this interview, I flung a few questions at her that are Supernatural related, but not necessarily to with her fic.

Thumpa: Who's your favourite non canon pairing (If it's Gabriel/Castiel, pick another) and why?

Shirley007: That's easy! Destiel! Or Dean and Cas, for those that are still a little green around the edges. Why? Have you seen the chemistry on screen? The eyefucking and the heavy breathing? It should be pretty obvious. And then there's the fact that they are both insanely hot!!

Thumpa: Which character of Supernatural can you relate to the most?

Shirley007: Tough one. I think I'm sort of a Dean and Sam combined, although I wished I could be more like Castiel.

Thumpa: Favourite Hunter, Demon, Angel, Lover (of Dean or Sam's) and why?

Shirley007: Hunter: Dean, because I love his attitude, his smirks, his determination and just everything else about his character. He's touch, but he's really sensitive on the inside. I love him!

Demon: Blonde Ruby. She was a cocky bitch most of the time, but I just loved her mannerisms. I thought the replacement of Ruby was for the worse, because Genevieve Corteze never pinned the character if you ask me.

Angel: Do you have to ask? Castiel of course!! He makes me swoon every single time. And when he cocks his head and gives you those puppy eyes...DAMN! But besides the baby blues, it's also just his character. The awkwardness, the confusion, his way of simplifying things in the most humorous way ever...It all makes his character completely adorable, no I mean perfect.

Lover: Sarah. I've always wanted Sam to go back to her some day. She was exactly what he needed, and despite that she was afraid, she faced her fears head on. She's a really remarkably sweet, strong and you gotta be honest, beautiful woman.


Thumpa: What's your favourite Season over all and favourite episode (which doesn't necessarily have to be in your favourite season)?

Shirley007: My favorite season is season five, which explains itself perfectly, since I'm an angel lover, and most of it revolves around the angels.
My favorite episode? That's a tough one, but I'm gonna go with Free To Be You and Me. So much Castiel it made me giddy like a schoolgirl.

Thumpa: If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

Shirley007: "Shirley, welcome home."

Thumpa: Anything else you want to add?

Shirley007: Try to comment or review as often as possible. Authors work hard to get their stories out there and every good review can lift their spirits like nothing else. So do it. *winks*
