Earlier this month there was a flurry of consternation when a council member’s ballot was rejected because of a signature discrepancy, and mutterings about partisans trying to subvert democracy started circulating. Not to worry. First, if your ballot has been “challenged,” the county Registrar of Voters (ROV) will get in touch with you immediately so you can fix it. And second, nobody’s partisans get to roam around the vote count challenging ballots at will. Read more at svvoice.com

These wide angle shots of the full stage are not the highest quality in terms of focus. Editing only can do so much. But I wanted to share the feeling of what was happening across the stage - this is so high energy and each person performing gives it their all here. I will be sharing some lesser quality photos, but hope people fare kind about them and maybe share a little of that feeling that is larger than a focused moment.
#SPNMINN is happening right now, and man, the FOMO is real, as always. Photos from the Rob & Matt Benedict Bus Tour looked awesome, and DJ Qualls in his Karaoke getup Friday night was swoon-worthy! And soon, we'll have more videos of Jared and Jensen chatting about anything but the obvious. Maybe we'll be lucky and we'll get to see more of this?
Old Business:
The Angel Fish Awards were posted this week! Click here to see the entire list (including the correction that Tumblr wouldn't let us make on the original post). So many great fics to read!
The Angel Fish Raffle - All of the winners of prizes have been contacted, the prizes have been boxed up, and now Admin Michelle just needs to seal them up, wrap them up, and ship them out. Everybody send her energetic vibes because it's quite a pile! 🤣
Writing Sprints - Manta Ray Dean hosted a couple of writing sprints, and the winner was @allys-creative-bubble! Head on over to her blog to congratulate her!
SPNFanFicPond Fic Highlight - Our own Admin Marie won a fic highlight in the August AFA raffle! Click here to check it out!
Last week's #TweetFicTues prompts were:
Remember, you can use one, use a bunch, mix and match, whatever inspires you! Tag us in whatever you write so we can signal boost it!
New Business:
Angel Fish Awards are now fully open to everyone! We recently announced that stories from any writer, not just Pond members, can now be nominated for an Angel Fish Award! So, go forth and nominate your favorite SPN and TW fics willy-nilly. Spread the love far and wide!!
Coming soon: a new way to submit AFA nominations - Soon, there will be a new way to submit AFA nominations. We're putting together a Google form that will make it easier for us to keep track of nominations so none get missed. You can still submit them all of the old ways (via the blog, or DM to Admin Michelle or the other admins), but this form will help us on the back end. Stay tuned for more info!
Lots of online concerts from our favorite singers - Later today, Steve Carlson (the other half of Jensen's band, Radio Company) will doing a StageIt concert followed by a Zoom hang with his Patreon subscribers. Tomorrow, Mike Borja (of Louden Swain fame) will be doing a joint StageIt concert with Hayden Lee. (If you don't know Hayden Lee, he's buddies with Jason Manns, who's buddies with Jensen and had a song featured on SPN in season 4. This is turning into Six Degrees of SPN, the music edition, but Hayden is seriously sweet and funny and you should check him out!) As usual, Paul Caarella will probably do two shows on Wednesday and two shows on Friday, but he has not yet posted the links to those shows. Finally, Sun Spin (Michael Rosenbaum and Rob Danson) will have a StageIt concert on Saturday.
Manta Rays in the Discord server - This week, both Manta Ray Kat and Admin Michelle will be spending some time in the Discord server. Check out our Google calendar for exact times! (Click here to add our calendar to your own Google calendar so you can see everything in your own time zone!)
Next weekend is Fishing For Treasures weekend here at the Pond! This month, we're celebrating all of the fics you all write that are NOT from the Supernatural or The Winchesters world. Got some Stucky or maybe some Iron Man reader insert fics hidden away? Now is your time to see them on our blog! You can send us links via the blog (ask or submit) or drop links in the #fishing-for-treasures channel in the discord server. The deadline to submit is Friday night at midnight, Eastern US time!

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 and Manta Rays, @manawhaat, @mrswhozeewhatsis, @mariekoukie6661, @princessmisery666, @thoughtslikeaminefield, @katbratsupernaturalwhore and @heavenssexiestangel!
