Alice Jester is the founder, editor-in-chief, head writer, programmer, web designer, site administrator, marketer, and moderator for The Winchester Family Business. She is a 30 year IT applications and database expert with a penchant for creative and freelance writing in her spare (ha!!) time. That’s on top of being a wife, mother of two active kids, and three loving (aka needy) pets.
She fell into this completely by accident. While thumbing through the channels one Thursday evening in September 2007, she came across the final minutes of this show she never heard of on a network she never heard of. The sight of two gorgeous guys, a heart breaking dramatic moment, and a bitchin’ classic car compelled her to find out more about this show. After spending a few months catching up on seasons 1, 2, and part of 3 through DVDs and iTunes, Alice wrote an article in homage to her new favorite show. “Supernatural: How A Show Manages To Succeed Despite Its Network” was a big hit and it got Alice a regular feature on blogcritics.org writing about her favorite show every week.
As grateful as Alice is to Blogcritics, there were limitiations to what could be done there and Alice got grander visions for more. She wanted to do articles that didn’t have word limits, featured screencaps and video clips, and captured topics that otherwise would be lost on blogcritics’ massive content. The idea for the discussion based fan site was born. We do more than report Supernatural news and fan activities. We pride ourselves on our daily content of analysis, reviews, games, slideshows, and just plain crazy fun.
Alice is also the founder, editor-in-chief, head writer, etc. for our sister site, TV For The Rest of Us. It’s a great place to explore her love of other shows, as well as a great place to maintain Alice’s vast interview archive.

My goodness, Alice – you did some serious work here! This is amazing that every writer is associated with her or his work and people can look at other articles.
A toast to you, dear! Love Jas
I totally agree! Wonderful! Thanks Alice!
Whoa, cool! Really nice work, Alice! Thanks for getting the writers pages up and running.
Wow! thats a lot of pages! 😎
dam mom you’ve been busy =0
Alice Jester, you are my hero! I decided a few months ago that I wanted to make a website similar to yours in that it’s a user-friendly site with lots of features circling around TV! Thanks to you I have a pretty good site for a sixteen year old to work out, if I do say so myself. I wanted to congratulate you for the amazing work you’ve done to this lovely site, and how much I enjoy visiting it!
I also wanted to let you know that next summer I plan on learning HTML to better familiarize myself with building websites, so that I can improve on my skills. (As well as make lots of money for building websites for other people!) Of course my ultimate goal is to be a screenwriter for television, but I feel this is a fun and safe alternative. Thank you so much for inspiring me to take the initive! You’re a hero, don’t forget it!

Ps. I totally made up that name to better protect myself from creepy internet stalkers, but I want you to know I named it after you! ^^
Thank you! Alternate options are good. I’m a software developer in my day job, and I have a sideline going for building websites, including this one. It all pays way better than blogging. Learning HTML is a very valuable skill. My daughter is learning it right now, as well as learning to build websites. She has a new appreciation for all I do.
Aw, you’ve got me blushing over the hero thing though. That’s okay, I have several people I use as influences myself. That’s also smart having a made up name. Too bad I wasn’t that smart!
Thanks for the message and keep in touch. Let me know how the site building is going.
Eek, I feel like a celebrity just talked to me! So cool!
I’m glad your daughter is taking an interest in your work! I bet she’s got everything basically programed into her brain, because you’re her mom. At least, that’s how I am because my dad is a computer engineer. ^^
I’ll be sure to keep in touch…Writing more reviews right now!!
Wonderful site Alice. So glad I found it!!
I love all the thinky thoughts (as I’ve seen others on this site call them) articles and the great reviews from a variety of perspectives.
Thank you for all the hard work and love that you put into the site.
Thank you for creating this website.I am a Turkish fan and I like here very much 🙂 Thank you for everything .. 😀
I’m new to fandom and forums and all this stuff. My family and I discuss Supernatural often, but it’s interesting to see what the rest of the world has to say about it. Thanks for this site!:)
