I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm really really glad that we made the rule that regulars for next year won't be spoilers (hello Castiel!). But I still feel at a loss for regular recurrings. It leaves Bobby verboten for discussion, and that feels like a big hole for the show thread.

The other big hole is the teaser trailers--I totally think they should be whitefont, but I also think that they should be allowable here.

I just...Bureaucracy, you know? No one cares, probably, other than the denizens of this thread, because it's the only active single show thread left on the board (scary, huh?), and I haven't seen other shows do teasers (other than White Collar, and it never came up in thread).

I think it's breaking thread rules to share something from I assume S5 outtakes shown at comicon but ita and the d/c lovers out there need to see it!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah it's a discussion worth having because ... Well, because it is. But it does feel kinda like it's mostly just about us given that everything else is bucketed. Plus I have conflicted feelings in Bureau from when this thread was created. Still. It's just a sore spot.

As spoilerphobic as I am, I don't mind web promos and stuff under whitefont. In fact it seems like people should be able to talk about CW stuff and recurring unmain characters in thread so long as it's avoidable and there's some nod to what is under the whitefont.

Does that mean I shouldn't have linked to that picture?

That is weird. Although Lost would still have one if the show had continued, I assume. Could we just hash out rules here, or is that not cool?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

This is the outcast thread, nobody (besides us, I mean) comes in here unless they're slumming. Nobody will likely ever notice. And if they do they won't care. (Oh hi thar, issues similar to Cass') Plei's the only narc as far as policy goes, and if she can be okay with whitefonting recurrings and aired network promos, then I don't see a problem with it.

I'd rather not deal with swathes of whitefont though that could be discussed in lite.

Yeah it's a discussion worth having because ... Well, because it is.

I'm actually still unclear on where potential spoilers might have been unintentionally leaked, and what thread/board rules might have been broken. I want to make sure that I'm not one of the One's being naughty. I don't think I've been, but that doesn't mean I haven't been.

Christ, ehab, I spat all over my screen. And, I don't think outtakes are remotely spoilery, since they have no future plot bearings. Or, really, if that does, SIGN ME UP.

???

Julie, anything that's been whitefonted that's not protecting people from something fic or squick related probably shouldn't be here. Because if it's show-related and hasn't aired, it's a spoiler, and currently belongs somewhere else. If you haven't done that (I have, when I wasn't paying attention), you're in the clear.

Okay. I'm clear on the spoiler-y future season stuff, but I wasn't sure if pre-release dvd extras were verboten.

Because books.

Speaking of fic, a new peeve! It's Castiel's POV and he's continually kissing and otherwise interacting with "his hunter". Name's Dean. Use it, people.

It's Castiel's POV and he's continually kissing and otherwise interacting with "his hunter".

I've read too many Regency romances. My first thought is that Cas is way too fond of his horse.
