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.

The ad cost list is "average cost of advertising"

So the number is the cost to run an average ad on one episode, one time? So a difference between shows could reflect longer ads on one show than another? (Not saying it does, but in the abstract, it could?)

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

The advertising cost study is in today's issue of Advertising Age and says the cost represents a 30 second spot and:

Figures are averages compiled from data from six media buying agencies and other sources. Figures represent gross prices agreed upon during upfront negotiations.

Thanks lcat. That makes it much clearer.

Because books.

So that's what upfronts are for! I had no idea.

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

Whoa, definitely. The Hunger Games AU was very good. I spent too long wondering how closely it would fit Hunger Games canon, but that's entirely not the point. There's no character mapping, pretty much, past Sam and Dean and Prim and Katniss. Pretty much. After that, it's a pretty deft conceptual interweaving of the two universes.

The primary conceit of sibling devotion is a really easy gimme. And the rest of it is very nicely crafted.

Now I'm wondering two things: Why was the betaing on haruslex's BB so damned bad? Can I make it through the BB that has Sam/Gabriel and Michael/Lucifer? Okay, three things--will the Good Omens crossover work for someone who knows as little as I do, or will it make my eyes cross?

Oh, hello. The fic with the dubious pairings has art by the same person who did that stilted Precious fic, and is the same artist as did Scaramouche's HS AU. Art post: [link] I totally recognised their Dean before their style.

Oh man, I just read a casting spoiler accidentally. Thank you, IMdB. But it's pretty cool, so I'll forgive them.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

i'm not normally a SPN fic reader, but i'm intrigued with a SPN/Hunger Games crossover. link?

Bird of Paradise. But it's not a crossover, it's a fusion.

We can help Sam and Dean get a TV Guide cover, if we're so inclined.
