Weekly Pond Newsletter

The Winchesters pilot has aired and I think we've all agreed that Carlos is our favorite, right?

Old Business:

The Alpha Reader List is live! We still have a couple of potential alpha readers going through the entrance testing, so the list may expand in the coming weeks. Click here to see who's on the list!

Fishing for Treasures Weekend: AU edition! We've got over 40 stories queued up this weekend, and most of them are series, so there's plenty of AU love out there for you to read. (Next month we will be celebrating Gen fics!)

Fun time sprinting in the discord server! A few of us were hanging out in the discord server earlier and had a great time doing writing sprints for prizes! @princessmisery666 provided the prompt, and @spn-fanfic-reblog-writes won for most words written in 30 minutes! Click here to read their story!

New Business:

New Members Spotlight will be posted this week. So far, we only have one new member this month, so we will have to shower them with all of the love!

#SPNVAN is next weekend! If you're planning to attend, and are looking for friends to hang out with while you're there, give a shout out in the channel for the con in our discord server!

Are you hosting a writing challenge or bingo and want to advertise on our blog to spread the word? That's awesome! Submit a link to us using the tag #i'm running a challenge and my fellow pondies should come check it out and we'll reblog your post to signal boost!

New prizes in the prize pool! Michelle just got finished updating the prize pool when a new Culturefly box came, so now she's behind again. lol! With 68 pages full of prizes, though, there's already something for everyone! Prizes can be won every month by submitting nominations for Angel Fish Awards, as well as participating in certain Manta Ray chats when sprint games are played. Prizes include complete season DVD sets of SPN, t-shirts, collectibles, writing tools, and even the chance to highlight a story (or your own or someone else's, your choice!) on the Pond blog and have all of the Manta Rays reblog it! Isn't that cool? Check out the list linked above and let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see added!

That's all for this week! To see all Pond events, and also other SPN-related things like conventions and online concerts, check out our Google calendar! We try to keep it as up to date as possible. If there's something you want to see on the calendar that's not there (maybe a convention we missed, or cast birthdays, or something similar), send us an ASK and let us know!

Hope you have a great week! - From your admins, @manawhaat, @mrswhozeewhatsis, @fictionalabyss, and @mariekoukie6661 (and also @thoughtslikeaminefield and @coffee-obsessed-writer!)

I don’t know why I’m doing this to be honest, but I had the idea on my way to get Mcdonald last night and it won’t go away. So I had this fantastic idea yesterday while listening to music… What if… I give you a song and you write a song based on it? My music taste varies between so many genres and I would love to see what people come up with if I give them for example a BTS or Ed Sheeran song… or one of the many artists that are in my playlists (it’s just the first one that came to mind). Obviously you don’t have to like the music I’m giving you, but I want to see what you can come up when it comes to the lyrics of said song.

It’s been a long time since I’ve hosted a challenge, but I want to take time over the next few months to foster creativity in the Supernatural fandom! This challenge is for reader-insert creators of all kinds, whether you create fanfiction, aesthetics, or fan art of any kind. While the dialogue prompts are based around love, don’t feel restrained by the idea of fluffy, romantic love! Your creation can be angsty, fluffy, or funny; it can be about familial love, or platonic love, or past loves, or maybe even self-love. It can be about love for a pet! It’s entirely up to you, as long as it is SFW.

I wanted to host another challenge and I hope this idea gives you some inspiration for your creative minds! If not, it’s a list of films that you could watch too.

Hi guys! It is @superfanficnatural’s and my honor to introduce you to our dual follower celebration! We each reached a certain goal of followers that we were both really excited about, and while chatting, we decided that a celebration is in order! This celebration is based within the Pond, so you’ve got to be a member to join! You ask for your trope and we’ll send it to you - but there’s a twist! To enter fully, send the phrase ‘Spin the wheel!’, and when we answer you’re ask, we’ll give a certain part of a kink/action that you’ve gotta include.
