What Would You Like To See From Us This Hellatus?
Happy episode day everyone! Think about it, ONE WEEK from today, at 10pm Eastern, we’re in Summer Hellatus. It’s scary, isn’t it?
All of us at the Winchester Family Business have been riding this amazing season five roller coaster, but its obvious the gears are about to shift soon. Just like last summer, we are determined to be your main “support group” so to speak in getting through the long grueling Hellatus. We plan to being very active this summer and will continue to provide articles with thoughtful analysis, mindless fun (I know I need to update The Engima of Sam Winchester’s hair for season five), and just any general information that will leak out during the summer. I will be attending this year’s Comic Con as a member of the press again, so there should be some great Supernatural information coming out of that.
So I ask, what suggestions do you have for the site? What would you like to see us do? I’ll head off a the pass right now, no suggestions about “stop being such a Sam fan” or “the writers are too Dean biased.” Constructive suggestions welcome only! We want to make this a fun experience for all. Take all the time you need to think about it, for suggestions are always welcome. You can either submit them through the comments below, or if you wish to be anonymous, use the “Contact Us” portion to send a private message.
In the meantime, let’s get through these final two “heartbreakers” and go from there! I’m warming up my “Damn You Kripke!” as we speak.
I’d like to see the rest of that mother’s series!!….wait, that’s mine. 😀 I’m ready for this Hellatus though, I already have several articles (including two for the aformentioned series) nearly ready.
Alice, when you put it in terms of 7 days to Hellatus, it’s down right terrifying! I can’t believe season five is already gone (or just about). I’m sure after the final I’ll be catatonic with shock or weeping profusely – possibly both. I don’t even have an inkling of how Kripke is going to send us off this year, but I’m sure it’s going to be awesome!
Thanks for pointing out the nearness of Hellatus :o, just what I needed to keep my spirits up, grrr… Nah. I’m buckling up to do some work when the emotional uproar after the coming two episodes settles down.
I’m gonna have to think about what I would love to see from my fellow writers, personally I have some stuff in the works, some psychological analyses and hoping not to tire you of that, and there are some other fun ideas running around in my brain.
I hope we’ll have that great mixture of serious and funny articles, stuff that challenges our mind and makes us laugh so hard that we go to sleep with a smile on our faces-… and we’ll survive this one, too.
Alice, thanks again for giving us this forum. It’s a hell of a ride. I had not expected it to go on for a sixth season, truth be told, but I am happy as hell (nah, no pun intended ;-)) that we have it.
All my best, Jas
I have an idea. I am willing to create word seaches (you know, the puzzels where you circle the words hidden in masses of letters?) and submit them for everyone’s enjoyment.
Then, I could do themes. One could be monsters, another places, etc.
What do you folks think? Would that help to wile away hellatus?
Tigershire, I love it! That’s such a fun idea – word searches are awesome.
I love word searches too…go for it!!!
As for writing and my fellow writers…I too have gotten into gear and have six articles just about ready to go (one of which to come in the next couple of days) and I have one big article that I plan to write, got the outline sorta there, as well as some reviews of the overall season 5 (as in continuing last summer’s The Road So Far with this season’s installment … ohmygosh, this-soon-to-be-completed-season…yikes!
All in all I’ve got about 17 articles in mind…we’ll see how many actually get done but with six about done, I’m on my way.
I’m looking forward to checking in daily (or more 🙂 and enjoying the ride of Hellatus 2010..with a spot on Jasminka’s ever growing couch we’ll snuggle in and have fun!
I have no suggestions to add here. But I would like to thank all of you who are writing something for Hellatus and Alice for hosting this site. You guys trully make the gap between seasons bearable. But then again, this site is always a joy to visit. Thank you so much.
I really hope we get to do a “rank them in five minutes” exercise for season 5 episodes! I missed out on season 4’s (did my own anyway :D) but thought it was so interesting to see what everyone came up with! And yeah, puzzles, word searches, trivia quizzes are great! And polls! I’d love to have polls that maybe go along with some of the articles, which I’m sure will be fun and fascinating, as always.
And Alice, I’m so excited (and envious, in the best way
:mrgreen:-) that you’re going to Comic-Con again!!! I’ve never been to a convention, but if I went to anything, Comic-Con would be it. If I got within five feet of Ben Edlund I’d probably pass out. Geez, I’ve come a long way from wondering why the word “fangirl” doesn’t have a space in it… Can’t wait for your reports!!!
Sorry lost my password (it’s at home)
How’s about Supernatural craft while we are waiting for Season six. I myself am planning one and each will be tie to an episode.
Oh, you know, more of the same really … Sorry, too knackered to be more constructive! :roll::
I really loved the “compare and contrast” top ten list, when Alice and Ardeospina each put together a list on the same topic. Thought that was really interesting, getting different POVs and would love to see something like that again
