Discord

Finally got on Discord and joined a server today. I know everyone else has been using them for years but I’ve only just found a reason to – or thought I did. Back in the day we had newsgroups, then chat rooms, then all that went away as social media giants like Facebook took hold.

Supernatural – the legacy

It’s 21st November 2020 and the Supernatural finale happened two days ago. I’m still getting over it, but in order to do that I need to process what happened.

On endings

No spoilers here, but I need to take stock of all the things I’m losing, or have lost, in the TV and film world. Supernatural With the news that season 15 would be its last, this show has spiralled out of the singular fandom, charities and help groups it had and erupted into world domination;

Supernatural is dead. Long live Supernatural

Yesterday it was announced by the lead actors that Supernatural the TV show will end with the finale of its 15th season. A few facts that came to mind when I heard the news: The pilot episode (called, remarkably, ‘Pilot’) aired on 13th September, 2005. The show went through the first 5 or 6 seasons

Episode adjacent Wayward Sisters

Warning! Danger, Will Robinson! Here be SPOILERS for Supernatural series 13 episode 10! We finally got our back door launcher for the Supernatural spin-off Wayward Sisters. Was it all that we hoped? Hmm. First off, the recap music was I believe the first time we’ve had a female singer open a show; I Am The

Convention Comparisons

I’ve been to a few conventions in my time – good ones, bad ones, mediocre ones.

Wayward Supernatural Sisters

I haven’t blogged about Super-bloody-natural in a while, eh? Yes, I’m still watching it. Yes, I’m still amazed they’re doing so well. I don’t mean that in a bad way; they’s still coming up with good ways to keep it fresh and acknowledge the worn-out bits so they can skip over them to get to

What’s in a name?

Apparently, if you’re an author trying to get a book published, everything. And I’m not talking about the title of your book. Wait, back up – we need context. Once upon a time, when my age was in single figures and life was much simpler, I wrote stories. Made-up, convoluted, sheerly-for-fun stories. When I was

Where There’s Smoke

Yeah, done some more writing. I’m still polishing my own original fiction novel, which I took to the Writer’s Workshop in York and got some very good feedback for. I’ve got some time off later this month so I’ll be working even harder on that to get it up to spec, and then it’s going

Dying Days

Once upon a time, I did a fic called A Study in Shapeshifting – a Sherlock and Supernatural crossover. I really enjoyed it, but that was another life, another me. I was living in Hong Kong and writing for fun. Then it started to become obvious that my time there was coming to an end
